Music Videos

into you by ariana grande https://youtu.be/1ekZEVeXwek This music video was apart of my focus because of the pink tone to the edit. The storyline was also very well thought out and shown throughout the video. There were no holes in the plot line which was amazing because it didn't leave any confusion. I love professional music videos because they tell the full story, have a lot of shots, and the shots are well done. I believe this specific music video really used a variety of the shots and the camera movements. Robbers by the 1975 https://youtu.be/Iyy3YOpxL2k Robbers by the 1975 had a very similar storyline to the Come and Get it music video I'm making. The storyline follows two people, who decide to go rob a gas station. The bandannas on their face is apart of our inspiration, along with a few of the shots shown. This music video has a variety of shots, and a solid storyline with a couple of plots. I found this music video to be well edited, well put, and the shots a w...

Come and Get it

https://youtu.be/7igl6evRhZM Paige, Erin, zane and I were all in a group for our first Entertainment project. We set out to film a music video with a story line, two robbers break into a home, they steal money and they keep stealing until the cops show up. After the cops show up, they run to a nearby golf course. While at the golf course, Paige betrays me, shooting and killing me stealing the bag of money. Although we all had the same footage, our edits were different and told a different story. My edit had a pink tone throughout, that was intentional. Takeaways from this project definitely include the knowledge of make a thorough story board, use a tripod even if you're moving around a lot, and you can't edit a beautiful looking music video in a week or less. I had fun filming and editing this, I look forward to the rest of Entertainment. 

Poster Post

Character and Function of a Poster     Reading about posters you come to realize that posters are used to appeal to peoples minds and their aesthetics, showing people how you express your feelings and thoughts through colors without having to physically touch or talk to them. A poster is designed to be vivid in color and extravagant, but not too busy or drawing away attention. Posters are one of the most important ways of communication between producers and consumers.  The Laws of Poster Designing While designing posters you should have a wide range of knowledge in graphic design, the poster should attract a viewer by using techniques that attract colors and feelings from the audience. Lettering in posters are planned so that the poster has room and is left so that the poster still has its aesthetic feel and the lettering is planned accordingly. Colors and shapes are used to express style and creativity. The colors are used to make the views feel a certain way or ...

End of Semester Reflection - Graphic Design

What did you do this Semester?    For the first few weeks of the semester, the class started out by going through tutorials to learn photoshop and illustrator, teaching the students the way of the software, explaining the ways to use it.  We went through the uses and techniques, the knowledge with the softwares will stay with me forever in my Graphic Design path. Being in Graphic Design I learned many things, such as creating a collage of multiple images, as shown in the image to the right. Along with other projects that were completed with photoshop, we went over the uses of illustrator as well. Creating a racoon postcard.    The Racoon postcard was inspired by Alex Russo, Selena Gomez' character on Wizards of Waverly Place. The layout on the right goes through the steps of creating the template and postcard. I started out with an Italian theme, because of my background in Italian heritage. The rough draft is based off the aesthetic that I seem to follow...

Lucas Manzella Hockey Star

  Lucas Manzella Hockey Star  For the second Feature Story of the first semester, I chose to go along the path of interviewing and making a story out of my younger brother, Lucas Manzella's hockey career. I interviewed my brother and made sure to add bits about his recently broken leg. I used B-Roll to cover up the jump cuts. The voiceover was recorded with my iPhone in the audio booth. The requirements were 2 interviews, a voiceover, and b-roll.   The Process of this feature story was easier than the last, not only did I choose a story that had easy and accessible B-Roll, but I chose a story that was close to my heart and personal, Hockey has effected my life just has it has effected my brothers. We travel and spend money on this sport and I knew this was an interesting yet original story. Getting Lucas to agree wasn't hard, he loves to show off his skills when it comes to hitting the puck. He made sure to make a few goals during a game for good B-Roll as wel...

Josh Brodie a sophomore who attends Olathe Northwest is recognized by many for his amazing talent for card tricks. I was amazed by the tricks and the way he did them, one of this favorite things as well. Josh exclaimed his love for card tricks is driven by the audience and their reactions, the way that the audience is so amazed.    We were told to dig deep and find a personal story to use. While everyone has a story that can be told, not everyone has one thats as unique as this. Using premiere pro I added in sound effects of the cards being shuffled to give the interview more of a feeling that he was right next to you shuffling the cards.    Audio was a huge part of this assignment. Its all thats there. We used chunks of an interview that was filmed i...
