E-comm Final blog post.

Final Blog Post

          Our group project was over the techno-chip and it took the whole 4th quarter to plan and design our project.  We made our website and commercial as well as a sketch-up build of our packaging and a storefront mockup. We faced some challenge. Some of those are when one group member wouldn't listen to us and wanted to do her ideas. I learned that sometimes teammates might not have the same ideas or point of views. When I got feedback I tried to incorporate all ideas. I really liked this project because we got to chose what we wanted to do not an assignment. I used my time efficiently and tried to stay on task. I completed the sketch-up and a mockup of our product and our storefront. I stayed productive with deadlines to meet and also because we chose to all do our part. We filmed our commercial outside of school and we also worked on our script. Some of my strengths that I have come up with are that I work really well in teams and also alone. I enjoy most strands other than graphic design and web design. I can improve on making sure
deadlines are met and work is 100% done correctly. I loved workin with my team to make an icon which ended up turning out great. I made the final icon and i'm proud of it. If I were to change something I would change how I worked. I wish that if we did this project again I would want to work harder next time. An overall takeaway from this quarter would be that you should try to co-operate with your team even if you are disagreeing. One goal for next year would be to try your best and go hard every second of the day.

Colors by Blake Woolery

The color I chose to best represent myself was blue because it is a calm color and I am calm. I chose brown for my least favorite because it is a dull and gross color to me. I don't like the color brown because it is difficult to put other colors with it. Blue works well with most colors.

When we organized the 8 colors the order I chose was blue, red, green, grey, black, yellow, purple, brown. The reason the first two are red and blue is because both of those work well together and they can work with other colors too. If i were to change my favorite color from blue I wold change it to red or green. Red has power and physiologically and chemically changes people brains into doing things just from looking at it. green to me is like the outdoors which is something I like a lot.

Handwriting & Typography

         When I was hand writing my name I found that it was easy to take it slow and make sure all the details came out. I liked being able to use the light table to outline my text. I used the font AHJ Alden Hand which had many tails to the letters. I chose that font because it wasn't professional and sometimes I am not professional.

            The ten words I used were Artist, Leader, Videographer, Adventurous, Outgoing, Designer, Considerate, Hard Working, Adaptable, and Ambitious. I chose a smiling face because I am happy most of the time. My favorite color is blue so that is why I chose that color. The font i chose isn't too unprofessional but it has a fun style.

A to B sequence

While doing this project I learned how to show smoother clips and how to film different angles. I also really liked learning how to speed up and slow down clips. I think that our team worked really well and incorporated everyones ideas and thoughts into the filming portion of the project. My favorite part of the whole project was filming just because it allowed me to use different angles and types of scenes. Some things that I might change are how we edited and how many seconds we were over the requirement because we filmed a lot of different shots and they were al vital to the film. The main portion of the project was going from on place to another which is the A to B aspect of the project. We added a little twist and we made a Pirates of the Caribbean themed film. If we were to do this project again I would keep the groups that I was in the same and maybe change the theme of the film a little bit.

Scope of the project

I think the scope of the project was to familirize us with the editing software and to help us work our way up to a larger video.Also it helped us get used to working in a group setting on video projects.

The Production Process

We started our project by brainstorming ideas of angles and settings. Then we drew some of our ideas  our in sequence to get a visual of what our video will look like. Once we finished drawing we started

to shoot some videos in the library and later we started to edit them into one clip.

 What did I learn

In this project I learned some basic editing skills and video angles. I also learned how to film on an iPad because when I film I always film on a cannon camera. My favorite part of the whole process was the editing and filming. I like everything in the project but the brainstorming part.

What I would do different

If I were to do this project again I would give each group two iPads of you could get different clips of the same setting to have more to chose from. Also I would have two different actors in the same setting to show one person teaching the other person.

What would I keep the same

If I were to redo this project I would keep the editing and video process the same. I enjoyed those two aspects the most.

Enhance the next project

I would enhance the project buy doing me leaning videos before the project about the editing software. I fell that not many people knew how to get the most out of the editing software.

Conclusion

In my opinion I believe this project was a good step towards bigger video project in the future. Also I think it game everyone in the class a close look at the video software and editing.

The Main Idea for the Project

The whole reason for the project was to learn to collaborate with other people. I enjoyed drawing the picture and all of the groups ideas along with their help. I also liked communicating with my group as a whole to come up with an idea for our poster.

The Brainstorming

Our way of coming up with our poster was pretty simple. First we brainstormed ideas of things everyone in our group likes. Then we put it all don on paper and started to draw our a rough picture. Later we decided on colors and which colors fit best in our group. We went with a more vibrant color base because we all Loe the outdoors. I personally love the outdoors because I am a Boy Scout and I go camping once a month.

What Did I Take Away From This Experience

I leaned that I might need to be a little moor open minded when I am working a group. I also learned better team-working skills makes doing a project a lot easier. The most important thing I learned for this project is getting to know the people in your group a little bit before hand makes doing the project a lot more fun because you can agree or disagree without to much of an argument.

What would I do different

If I were to do a project similar to this one later on I would change how I  brainstormed. When I brainstormed I would be more extroverted about how communicating with the group. I also would chose to communicate my ideas when I think of something.

What would I do the same

If I were to recreate this project I would keep how I communicated to the group when I was outside drawing. I believe that I communicated well with my group when we changed things to our drawings.

My favorite part of this whole drawing was the drawing portion because I love to draw.

How Will I Enhance the Next Project

If I were to take one thing away form the project I would take the teamwork aspect of the project because teamwork is the most important part of the project. If there is bad teamwork skills then the work and project would be difficult.

Conclusion

My thoughts on this project were all positive because I enjoyed drawing and coloring. I also enjoyed working this other people in different classes.
