Web Project Final

Overview~ To be quite honest I was not looking forward to this final, but to my surprise I ended up enjoying this project more than I expected. I like how this isn't a typical final, and I really enjoyed being able to do this over an extended period of time, and being able to do it at my own pace. I liked the videos because I could go back to the parts I needed to review
What I learned~ I was so shocked as to how easy it is to create a website, and I thought this project sounded far more complicated than it was in reality. I loved working in Dream Weaver, it was easy to understand and I picked up on it rather quickly.
How I did~ By absolutely no means is this an extraordinary website, but I think I did really well considering this is the first time I have ever worked with anything like this. I am very proud of my work, and I also really enjoyed my color scheme. I feel like it is very cohesive and pleasant to the eye.
Conclusion~ Overall, this is one of my favorite e-Communication projects we have ever done. I am very much so looking forward to 4th quarter when we get to create another website, I definitely feel like this is something I excel at. Out of everything we have done so far, I think I am best at video, photography, and web design.  

Chase Scene 

                                  In the preproduction phase of this assignment, there were more conflicts than the previous films we made. This time, we were limited to the amount of people in our group. I STRONGLY dislike being the one on camera, and through some hard convincing, I got another one of my team mates to be in this film. We came up with the idea of a game of tag, this idea came into my mind when i heard the word chase. I thought the idea of creating a chase scene that could somewhat seem suspenseful, but mostly keeping a childlike and playful aspect. I felt like this idea wad very creative and original, and no other groups had really come up with an idea like this, which I'm very proud of. We went and scouted locations which was very easy, I already had imagined it starting from the events entrance. Now that we had our story board, all we would have to do is film.

For the production phase, we ran into further conflicts. There was some sort of Christmas choir going on in the commons, where we had originally planned to film part of our chase scene. Although this wasn't that huge of a conflict, it definitely put a kink in our filming process. Other than that filming went smoothly, although our actress forgot to wear her same clothing for our second filming day. I was the recorder and director, like I said before we were limited to our participants. 

As for postproduction, editing went very well. I love the skills E-Communications has given me, and maybe in the future I can take these skills and apply them to a youtube channel. Its always kind of been a dream of mine to have a beauty channel, but who knows! As for this project specifically, my favorite part was definitely directing and editing, I also feel these are my strong suits. I love getting to create my image, and editing is so relaxing for me. Cutting clips and finding music and everything just makes me really happy. If i were to do this project again I would try to film it all on the same day, just for continuity. I've really enjoyed video, and I think I'm going to miss it a lot.
