ONW NOW Reflection

                                 This week we worked on our final project, The ONW NOW show.
 Our teacher began the project by assigning us to teams and my team was a news story team. We started by thinking of different news stories we could do on ONW NOW that could be good for our students to hear and we chose laptop computers.
           We didn't have a lot of time on this project so we had to get filming right away. We decided to film Mr. Zuck to ask about his opinion about the laptops. We had to reschedule 2 times so that threw us off track but those days we spent filming broll. Once we got an appointment we began by asking Mr. Zuck the questions we wrote about the laptops. The interview went smooth and we got right to editing.
          Editing for ONW NOW is a little different then editing for a normal video. There are extra graphics that have to be put in the video. It took some practice but we figured out how to do it.
        I would say this project was a little harder than I thought because there was such a time crunch and we had to  make sure our filming was our best work because it is being put on ONW NOW. I took role as the director making sure everything went smooth and I'm proud of my team for getting everything done on time.
   If I could do something different I think I would probably have scheduled the interview a little earlier to make sure we were getting everything done on time. I also think we probably should have had more time to do it because I felt rushed and it was at times unorganized but I'm glad we got it all done in the end.
   I think our team succeeded at our filming and we used many variations on shots to make sure the video was good and not boring for the viewers. The semester has taught me a lot about the different camera angles and how to use that to make the video more interesting.
  Overall this project went pretty well and I can't wait to watch it! I'm proud of my team for their work and I'm sad the semester is over.

                                                                 Ella Interview This week my group has been working on an interview project. We chose to do an interview on Ella who is a dancer in our class. We started the project by making questions to ask Ella, once we finished that we scouted an area to do the interview at. The nest day we asked Ella the questions and the interview began. After we finished the interview we went out and filmed broll to put in the video. Finally, after we had all our video we began working in Premiere Pro to work on the video. I had to change some of the lighting and audio to make the video flow, I also had to make a voice over.          I was the director so I was in charge of the video and i kept everyone on task and I helped film the broll. I learned to stay on task and I learned a lo of leadership skills about being in charge of a project.  If I could do something differently I would change the amount of time we had because I felt like it

                                                                  Sketch-up project                                                                 by: Regan Funkhouser                                 This month we have been working on a project in sketch-up! This project was fun but a little challenging. Sketch-up is sometimes difficult to work with but over all was fun to use! I started out by finding a house plan to use, I found a little blue house that caught my eye. We began to work in sketch-up, this was my first time using it! The beginning started off pretty easy but later became harder. I think the hardest part was the roof, and one of the most time consuming parts of the house. The roof ended up looking amazing so it was worth the time. My favorite part about the house is the deck because its very spacious. This project was very fun and I would recommend Sketch-up to people whom have patience! I changed the layout a little from the original

                                        Video Production Final Blog ONW NOW News Story This week we worked on a news story for ONW NOW, this was our last video for the semester. This video took us about a week to do but with some set backs it took us a little over a week to finish.    We decided to film Mr. Zuck to ask about his opinion about the laptops. We had to reschedule 2 times so that threw us off track but those days we spent filming broll. Once we got an appointment we began by asking Mr. Zuck the questions we wrote about the laptops. I learned that sometimes you plans won't work out how its suppose to so we need to have plenty of back up plans to assure that we will have our film for the video. My teacher had some feedback for us that we need to have a strong back up plan so we aren't rushing to finish in the end. The original video we were planning on doing an interview over a different teacher but we decided to change that and do an interview on Mr.
