my personality font

The font that is best suited for me was Bifur. The traits associated with Bifur are: rational assertive progressive and relaxed. The first trait is rational, I find that this is the trait that most fits my personality because I feel I make my decisions based on logic and reason. The second is assertive, I do not feel passive and definitely not aggressive I fall between where assertive is. The third is progressive, I do feel like I favor change and improvement over sticking to what has always been done. The final is relaxed, this one could go either way based on perspective. I feel I am relaxed when it comes to things like stage fright or a big test, but I'm not as relaxed when it comes to things like my little brother or other frustrating situations. All in all I do think this font and I share the same personality.

Psychology behind colors

I am going to begin with red, red shows youthfulness. For example the shower gel brand I chose was red and had a big red angry bird on the front of it and it was intended for youth/kids. When you see a Target or Coca-Cola logo they give of a bold feel as well. Next is orange which has a happy playful cheery mood to it, Like Fanta or nickelodeon. Following that of course would be yellow. Now yellow being a warm color still has that happy feel like the warner bros. logo. following that is green, green is the color of plants and gives a clean, natural and sometimes even minty feeling like Irish spring or Orbit gum. Next would be blue which is a smart choice for bank logos or really any logo because the feeling behind it is trustworthiness for example picture lowes, which has a strong trustworthy feeling.

finally comes purple which has a creative feeling like yahoo which could have been intended to make it seem like that search engine has all creativity and knowledge.

Graphic Design

Graphic Design

The best way to explain what graphic design is is to explain what life would be like without it. Without graphic design the world would be a lot more boring and a lot more dangerous. There would be no such thing as judging a book by its cover because all books would look the same. Lots of signs intended for safety would be harder to decipher and differentiate and people who don't care to read the signs or just can't could put everyone in danger. The world would be bland with minimal color and no aesthetics. Graphic design is visual communication through type, space, and image. Graphic designers create designs for logos, street signs, bill boards, advertisements and just art.

Final

During this quarter I learned a lot. The first of which is the six shot sequence. I learned how to set up the shots correctly including what is supposed to be shown and not cutting off anything. The first shot is the extra close up which shows hands completing a task. The next shot is the close up which is the face with an expression. The next is the over the shoulder were the camera is placed directly behind the shoulder and views something in front of the actor. Next comes the medium shot which the frame gives a little space above the actors head and cuts off under the hips. The next is the wide shot which shows the entire actor but doesn't cram them in the shot. Finally is the extra wide shot which shows the entire actor and sets the scene. The other major thing I learned was how to cooperate with actors to make a film and how to explain what I was thinking.
My favorite project we did was the chase scene because I could bring together everything I learned to create a video. I also enjoyed it because I could work with two actors as opposed to one. The final reason I enjoyed it was because I could be creative with it to create an entertaining chase.

I learned that it is much more convenient to have an excess of clips of different angles or takes so you can pick and choose the one that best fits that specific shot. I also learned that you need to be able to work with other people and take everyone's ideas to produce the best videos.

In my next video I will definitely take my time setting up shots and get a lot of extra shots and time at the end of them. I will also be more flexible with the story board and use what works

As far as collaboration goes this was an entire new project. Previously there was a director and actor and they would both put in ideas and the director would go with the best idea. Now there are 4 people thinking together and every one has to get along and every ones ideas need to work. On top of that your actors both have to know what they're doing and get it right in the same shot.

In the next project I could improve collaboration by taking more ideas and conveying mine better.

I learned that you want to film a lot more than you end up including and overlap the action between shots so you have a lot more room for error. I also learned that you want to line up shots and audio very carefully with the arrow keys so it runs smoothly and it doesn't look like there is a delay between the audio and video. I learned to write down my log in to websites that we use.

I will use everything I learned from this project in future projects. I will also use my more expanded knowledge on the cameras that we used along with my familiarization to final cut pro.

Collaboration is two or more people working together effectively and this was very necessary to get more correct shots in less time. communication is key in collaboration and that is also necessary to get the right shot.

 

6 shot sequence

The six shots in the six shot sequence: The first one is the Extra close up or XCU, This shot includes a close up of the face. The face shown should be showing an expression or change in expression due to a reaction. The second is the over the shoulder or OTS this is another "uncomfortable" shot were the camera should be directly over the shoulder so the viewer can see what the subject is doing. Number three is the close up or CU usually a close up of the hands, It focuses on what the person is doing. the fourth shot is the medium shot or MS this is from the waist or hips up this begins to set the scene but still doesn't give too much away. The fifth shot is the Wide shot or WS this shot shows the entire person but doesn't give away the whole scene. The final shot is the XWS this shot shows the entire scene and the whole person and answers most unknown things about the scene.

I learned how to work with the cameras to get the desired look. I learned how big a deal it is to plan and draw out exactly what you will be shooting. I learned that the audience looses attention after 4 seconds and with that I learned how to portray what I want to.

I will apply every thing that i just wrote to my next project and probably even more.
