What is graphic design?

Graphic design is using words, typography, photos, colors, and other symbols to convey an idea, message, or feeling. The designer must use human phycology to understand how certain things can make the consumer feel. The design is made to fit the product, so it may not be beautiful. Everything in the design is used to convey emotion and beliefs. Graphic design is used to represent the company or product and what they are.

Interview Final

My Interview

This quarter in my e-comm class, I learned so much about filing and video production. I learned how to film and edit video using the cameras, tripods, and software. I learned all of the convenient shortcut keys including the arrow keys, blade too, i for in, and o for out. The editing software we used was Final Cut Pro. I had some background with editing videos but I had no idea what you could produce. One of the most important things I learned was the six shot sequence. This is absolutely a skill I will have to use later on and will be exceptionally helpful.  I had the opportunity to get the perception of actually working for a client in the way that we had to meet deadlines and present our finished projects. Another technique that was developed was team work. In practically every project we had to collaborate with one or more person. This helped me expand creativity by sharing ideas with others and getting feedback to make our projects the best they could be. This quarter assisted me greatly in progressing my video production skills.

Web Assignment

The project was pretty easy to me. I finished pretty quickly and it wasn't too difficult. I had fun doing this project and it was interesting to me. I like web design, the only thing I dislike is the coding because it sort of freaks me out. All the random letters and numbers scare me a little but it's fun. I think over time coding won't freak me out so much and I'll start to like web design more.

Chase Scene

While filming my chase scene, I learned how to use the six shot sequence while moving to several locations. This project also helped me learn how to compress time using the six shot sequence. I will apply these skills of setting the shots and using them to compress time in my next project.

In this project, we worked as a team of four other than two. Instead of just having one actor and one filmer we had multiple people for each job. This helped us ensure that every shot was framed correctly and every action was good. In my next project we can make sure that everyone has a job because we kind of had trouble finding a helpful job for everyone. We also need to collaborate and stay on task more.

AB Sequence

       While doing this project I learned how to better use the six shot sequence and film in two locations. I also learned that the shots must be less than four seconds in order to not be boring. I had to add more shots while walking because of this. It helped me be able to retain and apply this knowledge in future filming. In my next project, I will allow myself more shots so that the clips do not exceed four seconds, as this caused me some issues in this project. Collaboration is working with one or more person so end with a product. In this case we had to elaborate with the “director” and the “actor”. The director must give the actor detailed instructions to end up with the product they want to create. The actor has to follow the instructions to a point so that the group doesn’t have to film again. 

        The six shots in the sequence are the extra wide shot, extra close up, medium shot, close up, wide shot, and over the shoulder shot. The extra wide shot shows the entire scene. The extra close up is a close up of the hand and shows what the person is doing. The medium shot shows the person from hips up. The close up is a close up of the persons face to show a mood or reaction. The wide shot shows the person head to toe. The over the shoulder shot shows the relative view of what the person on film sees.       I learned how to line up clips so they look like a continuous shot. I also learned how the cameras worked and how to set up the tripods. In my next project, I will apply getting multiple views of the action by using these shots. This project was helpful in teaching me how to use different shots and how to film.
