Professional project review

This video done by CNN is a sentimental package about how a teen who committed suicide is still being bullied after her death. This package shows interviews with 2 people closely related to the teen and gives a very good message out about how absurd the situation is. CNN does a good job of asking the right questions and demonstrating how a story can be made with just one interview of 2 people and pictures. They are able to make the package feel very personal to the audience and i think this is a good skill to have when producing news. The package created shows the interview, interviewee and the pictures during multiple scenes throughout the video which gives a very good understanding of the story as well. The creator of this package could've improved the footage chosen to be included in the package because some of the interviews were quite brief, but overall i think that the story told exactly what it needed to in under 2 minutes. The time frame of the story is also something i will keep in mind for my next project because the whole package i was continually interested in what the people had to say and it kept my attention the whole time.

The six shot sequence started with using the camera and the tripod to film all shots. At first I did the close up with the hands just to show how the story would begin. While I was editing the video I used a lot of the in and out tools to be able to show where I wanted my shots to end and beginning. I showed the start of the shot all the way up to the end of the shot. I learned about how to use both of the different tripods and also I learned how to customize the speed for the video.   The whole video was based off of my partner’s hobby. I tried to show different aspects, good, and bad of skateboarding.   A tool that was very helpful to me was the fade out tool. It helped slow down the video and show how it came to an end. I did learn a lot more about the camera and tripod throughout the scenes.

Professional article review Creative Anarchy at Its Very Best Creative anarchy is about using the rules as guidelines and using your imagination to make up for the rest. This article is reassurance that it is okay to color outside of the lines in graphic design (not literally). Taking risks is what graphic design is all about. When it comes to completing the client’s needs, you have to meet them halfway. Finding that happy spot where both the clients ideas and the designers creativity meet is what makes a good design.   The author of this story is trying to get the fact across that not all designs must be so limited. As a designer, you have to be okay with the concept of your mind to new ideas and creative details will open up a whole new world for your graphic design.   For example, the author say’s “Design rules are more like guidelines.”   This quote shows us that the author literally means that rules aren’t always followed in graphic design and its not always necessary.

http://www.kctv5.com/clip/13695506/kansas-city-natives-remain-stranded-in-florida-due-to-hurricane-irma In this news story, the reporter did a good job of getting many people involved to create a full story and show the effect of irma on everyone through Kansas City natives. They showed a lot of "B-roll" through the videos that the people they were video-chatting with sent in. I thought that even though it was hard for them to get good B-roll, they made it work with the footage they got and it was still able give the viewers a lot of information about what is going on. I think the reporter coulee used more footage from the actual hurricane instead of just the interviews that the people sent in, but at the same time it helped make it more personal. I think a little back story coulee been helpful to start off the story. I will take away from this story how important it is to get multiple interviews and also I learned the creative ways to get b-roll that I hadn'
