Pencils


The Process in making each of these was very similar. I would just find the shapes in illustrator and just get creative and made some objects. Illustrator is fairy easy to use so it was easy to draw a few things.

1. I learned basic skills in illustrator allowing me to draw images much easier than photoshop.

2. I got to exercise my creativity while making my own shapes and my own version of the pencil.

3. learned how to use live paint which was a bit of a challenge.

6 Shot Sequence



Shots included in this video
XWS- Extra wide shot of dribbling between the legs.
XCU- Extreme close up of shoes.
OTS- Over the shoulder of dribbling.
WS- Wide shot of more dribbling.
MS- Medium shot of the ball being caught.
CU- Close up of a free throw.
XWS- Another extra wide shot of him dribbling away.

During this project I learned how to use the new cameras. There slightly more complex and harder to use but in turn they give you a much better video to look at. Also i learned how to film a sequence. I now know how to take a story that would be a few minuets long and shoot it to were it ends up being only a few seconds. This makes it much more interesting for a viewer to watch.

On my next project i will change a few things. I will be better with managing my time as this video was last minute as i was the last one to shoot in my group. Also we had some technical issues with cameras and SD cards which got us off to a slow start. I will be more conscious of lighting and other details while shooting my next video, and take more time in filming good shots. Also i will make a more detailed story board with a good location in mind so i don't have to waste time finding a place to film, and once i have found it i can get straight to filming and be able to make a better video.

What Is Graphic Design??

What is Graphic Design?

To me graphic design is a way to express creativity in a productive and meaningful way. You have the opportunity to connect with someone through your artwork. Even when your following an assignment you can add your own creative spin on it. The infinite amount of possibilities and things you can with a picture fascinate me. It gives purpose and meaning to things that you create because it can be used for advertising and conveying ideas.
