written reflection

This year in ecomm i learned a lot. I learned how to add lower thirds to an interview in final cut pro. Most most importantly throughout this year I have learned and developed my skills while working in final cut pro and perfected them. The thing i loved most about this year was the bonds that i have created with my fellow classmates and how i have learned to collaborate with them well as a group.

personal blog post (ball preview)



Scope

The main scope of this project was to make a preview of the 2016-2017 ravens boys basketball team.

Process

Throughout making this video I first had to go and grab previous clips from the last season to use as my b roll since this was a preview of the team and the season has not started yet. Next i had to edit all the clips to make it flow smoothly. The last thing i had to do was voiceovers and then i simply just uploaded it to the website and put it on the hard rive so it could go on ONW now.

Learning

Along the way my skills increased as I learned how to edit more and produce better work.

Changes

If i had to re do this whole project i would not change a thing because i thought that this one turned out pretty good and i would do everything the same.

General

From this project i will apply the interviews that i used maybe to future basketball videos that i will make because the interviews were fairly good. Overall this project was fairly easy and just like any other story we do.

Ecomm this year

By: Cooper Cate



In Ecomm this year I learned how to work more with my group. Last year, I was more individual with my work which made it harder to finish. By working as a group I realized it takes more than one person to accomplish certain goals and you really become closer together in doing so. I learned a lot of different cords and cables that will help me going forward in ecomm.

Most of the things I have learned came from my teachers throughout the years. They have taught me to collaborate with my team and also communicate throughout my group. Most of the things I have learned also have come along the way. You learn these things while working on certain  projects and developing along the way.

This information is important because it will be somewhat of a guide throughout the rest of my ecomm career. If I did not learn any of the useful skills, I would be stranded next year, and not know what to do. Hopefully these skills will guide me on a straight path and will allow me to achieve my goals next year in the ecomm program.

My greatest strengths in ecomm would definently be play by play sports broadcasting. This is really what i want to do and i am hoping i will see more of it next year. Most of my weaknesses in this class include editing and filming. I think these are my weaknesses because I do not enjoy doing them. Next year, i hope to do things that I will find fun, and i will improve my skills in them.

With what I have learned, I hope to apply this skills into next year to improve my self and my class mates. These skills will allow me to expand on my learning. These will also allow me to not have much guidance on what I do and will let me do more of what I want. I wish to go into SID next year to apply theses skills.

I would change my listening skills this year so i would be able to learn more about all the equipment. Also, i would go back and make the stories i did a little better now that i know more things i can use to apply to them. Other than those i do not think i would change anything else because it was pretty fun this year and i learned a lot.

Overall, This year was fun. I learned a lot, while making friends along the way. Not only can i apply these skills later next year, but I can apply them after in life. Ecomm has taught me a lot throughout the years and i appreciate that. I look forward to next year and the friends that i will make along the way and all the friends that I will make.

Responsive web design intro

What is responsive web design? Responsive web design is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience. Why has responsive web design become so important? RWD has become important throughout the 2000's because of the invention of the handheld phone. With this device, without RWD it would be very difficult to see/read the actual site and how it was originally made. The media queries change depending on what device that you switch to. break points are when someone discovers a new way to display their responsive website.

Above is an example of a responsive website. This image shows how the site looks on a phone, laptop, iPad, and computer. On the computer the website expands farther across the bigger the screen is.

This photo shows a website that is on the phone. On this phone the website will be much longer and will take more time to scroll through. 
On this tablet it shows how it equals all out and makes everything look normal and well finished.

Photo Composition

 I have enjoyed creating this photo composition project. This project has been very entertaining and has taught me many web design skills that i think i can use in other projects. First off we took pictures that used photo composition skills and then applied them in our project. We then created the main layout of our project to put our photos into. After that we made our site responsive, which means that it would adjust to whatever device the user was on. Here is a photo of my main homepage of the website.

renewed website

In this project I chose a templet from a popular website and then turned it into a Olathe Northwest website. The website I chose was Teslas main homepage. I then turned it into a Olathe Northwest website but using the same layout.Basically i just made different banners and images to replace the teslas ones.

Past Present Future



This project was overall pretty tough. I did not really finish this exactly because I got confused on what we were supposed to do. I thought we were supposed to put all of the information all on one page instead of putting it in different links. The scope of this project was to create a site about ourselves and to give an insight about what our past was about, what we are doing right now, and what we think we will be doing in the future. The link below will be to the project that I created.

topic review


Snake topic 








The scope of this project was to create a site about a interesting topic that we wanted to create a site about. First we had to create multiple pages for our site to explain the topic more in detail. After we did that we created links to different pages about the topic. Then we uploaded all of it onto our index page. I learned that you can change the names of your links and they will still go to the same site. I would make my format a little different next time and i would make my font black. Next time i would keep the snake skin background because that was pretty cool. Overall i think this project was pretty fun and not to hard.
