Blood drive reflecion

Blood drive

  
      The scope of this project is to find people to interview about the local blood drive that will be taken place at Olathe Northwest soon. The people in the video i watched of a blood drive did not do very well shooting their footage, they did hardly any of the six shot sequence rules, the only thing close to decent was when they showed a wide shot towards the end of the video but other than that the camera man was really shaky and clearly did not know very much about video.The story that was told was about two people expiriences with donating blood at a red cross blood drive. I would apply the use of the wide shot he used because that was actually decent but other than that i wouldnt apply anything that this person used in their video. I have already learned the six shot sequence and what to do for it but the only thing this person used from there is the wide shot that was not very good.The creator had a decent idea on to film his blood drive experience but he could greatly improve on numerous video shots and the way he hels the camera. Thanks to Lynn wray Dillard for the video.

Oregon community college shooting: Are journalists the bad guys?

     Yet another school shooting has taken place, this time at a small community college in oregon on october first 2015. While many people were greiving, the journalists that were covering this story were recieving hateful words on twitter for asking some of the eye witnesses from the incident if they could have an interview from them so they can report the story. The author of this article I think is trying to show that the journalists are not the bad guys in these situations, that they are just trying to do their job. He supports those statements from interviews that he had with other people that clearly state just that.
      A very strong strength that I noticed this article presents is that it summarizes close to/everything that you need to know about the journalists that were being placed in these bad situations. The author concludes that the journalists should not be labeled as the bad guys in these situations because they are just doing what they need to do in order to keep their jobs.
     Overall i think the author supported most of his main points that he stated throughout the story. The evidence in my opinion is very convincing because they made me believe that the journalists can not really help prevent these interviews if they want to keep their job. This was telling me that when a tradgedy like this happens many people do not know what to think and then they see the journalists attacking the people that were affected by this tradgedie and they want to blame the journalists.
     I do not understand why the people would attack the journalists who are just doing their jobs instead of helping out the grieving poeple of that community. I do not think that the greiving kids from this incident should target the journalists because this is probably a lot of stress on the journalists as well. I have gathered some of this information from paul fahri's article.

RGBA project

RGBA

   The scope of this project was to be able to create transparent text. In order to do this you had to search on the internet to try and find a background image of anything you want it to be, as long as to wasn't straight black which would make  you unable to see the texts. You then would go into dreamweaver and mess around with your fonts to change the transparency. The very end result should come out to look like the picture below. The people that would use this for are if they need words/letters behind another set of words/letters or a picture. Next time i will probably select a better image for my project instead of the one i did this time. I did end up end up enjoying this project in the end though and i look forward to do something along the lines of this in the future.

final project

Ecomm Final

Animation

In this wing of ecomm, i was assigned to create the 3D text faces for our earlier animation, later to find out that at the very end of that rotation, those text faces were of no need and all my work was tarnished. I as well helped out with the main lawn mower animation that ryan was originally working on but occasionally needed help so i just started to go to work on that animation with him.

Graphic Design

In Graphic design i chose to work on the coupon for our automatic lawn mower and was also working more on typefaces for our logos words. The coupon was a challenge at first not knowing if i should place our automatic lawn mower on the coupon or just to put our logo on. I eventually decided to put our logo on knowing that it looks a lot better know since shona changed our original logo that i created at the very start of our project.

Video

This rotation on video we all went out to film each other doing different things to enhance our commercial content. After we filmed everything that we needed, then we went back to our groups individually and edited our different videos. The video below is the finished video that i ended up creating by editing all of the different film and audio that we got from our group. After we all finished our final videos, we collaborated and decided who's video we should use for the main project, it came down to shames so we used hers.

Summary

The scope of this project was to create a product that would basically make life easier. We were assigned into different groups and then were given instructions to share our personality types with that group. I was the personality type of a lion, which symbolizes a strong leader. I directed my group to have a final understanding of what our invention was going to be then created a sketch of our invention. We then created an animation about our product, which we then decided would be called the Auto-Mow. I learned along the course of this massive product to always have an open mind and be open to new ideas. I also learned how to be friends with people i don't usually hang out with during school hours. I would do almost everything the same exact way i did it this time because i feel like i did a wonderful job. The only thing i would do differently is that i would've enjoyed to speak up a little more and talk more in our presentation. I am excited and looking forward to the next project because i feel like a can apply many skills i learned from this project to the next.

The auto mow

br />
Our product, the Auto-Mow, is made to save you the trouble of having to go outside in the hot summer sun and having to get your shoes all dirty with grass stains from mowing your lawn, so instead we created a wonderful alternative labeled the Auto-mow. This Product is made so when you mow your lawn once, it automatically programs itself to memorize the lawn that you just mowed using the high definetion camera on the front of the lawn mower. After you mow your lawn only one time and one time only, you will never have to mow your lawn again, instead, the Auto-Mow will do it for you. This advanced technology is very trustworthy and has very little to no technological problems and will allow you to rely on a machine to do your work for you in a matter of one hour, instead of doing it yourself or hiring someone to do it for you.
