blood drive and lego day

                                             Lego Day 

 Before the big story of the blood drive that will be hosted by Olathe Northwest on a friday I wanted to learn some converge journalism. Olathe Northwest was also hosting a lego day on that monday so i founds a student that was willing to be filmed while he was building his lego set.  My goal for this is to make a story about him building his lego set.

The process I had for this interview is to find a person who would be willing to be filmed and then start filming him building his lego set then edit all of the shots together into a video about slew's experience on lego day.

Some thing I learned alone the way as I was filming is to take longer shots so you have more video to pick from when editing the shot together and you will have a better chance at filming something that will be an action shot (a shot that the subject does that probably wouldn't be repeated.

Something I would change is the questions that I asked. I wish the question were more in depth so the person i was following could answer the question better but he answered them to the best extant he could. 

I would keep the person i choose for lego day because he answered the question I asked to the furthest extant he could which relayed helped me make the video because I didn't have to more narration to introduce what he going to say. 

The thing that I will draw from this to enhance my next project is to actually stand in the filming position so the camera doesn't shake and this will cause the shot quality to go up and increase.

                                           Blood drive

At ONW there was a blood drive were we rises 177 pints of blood for the community blood center and I though it would be cool to follow someone in my school through the process of giving blood.

Some people asked me what the process is when I film something like this so I will tell you my process for this kind of project would be to get the necessary equitment and find some one who would be will to be filmed throughout the process of giving blood. then after I filmed my chosen person edited all the film together.

I was asked what I learned from this film and the only think I could think of is to ask the person that i was following more in depth question about the blood drive and ask more question in-general.  Another thing is to make sure that I brought all my equipment so I would have to go back to the room and get.

Something I would do different is to take a bigger variety of shot like a pan of the area they were taking blood or blood being taken so when I was editing I could put more of the scene in the film.

Some things that I would keep is the shots that I did take because the shot I took were really good shots and they were really interring.

Some I will use in my next project is how I was standing to take the shot because there was less shake and good quality.

2-D animation movie

The scope of this project was to make a 2-D animation in to a movie or short film.

The process that I took in this project was to create and design a character, this designing process starts with just drawing any character you can think of then combined ideas that I like and make a final character. then we had to storyboard an idea for a story that the character will act out, I think the story boarding process takes the longed because I had to make the story and then i had to draw out each scene individually.  next was the animaeing where I colored my character then made the background and any other building or object and put them all in the same project. then I crafted all the items in to the story I wanted. after I finished my animation put on this site and wrote about it.



Something I learn while making this project is to always make sure you know what layer you are on because you can go though a lot of steps that bring you closer to finishing your project then realizing that it was on the wrong layer so it would screw up your whole video so you have to start over.

I used two programs to make this project one was after effects where i made the film and made all the parts move and i made all the characters and scenes in photoshop.  after effects use these thing cause key frames and those are what make everything move.

I made this project by my self but I got a lot of opinions from other people on how or what i should do to my project to make it better.

something I would change if I could is the close up I didn't plan out the close up in my video so it turn out a little weird but  it looks ok.

somethings i would do the same it the character design.

somethings that i with take from this video is to plan out every little detail in the video so when the due date is coming you know what you still have to do.
