Wow! Our last project this year :( To end our school year with some extra fun, all G.T. classes made MUSIC VIDEOS! Making this was a blast and was the most memorable project for me this year, my teammates and I really grew closer and bonded. I am so thankful for the members in my group (<a href="http://brookekauo.blogspot.com/">Brooke</a>, <a href="http://liliomasi.blogspot.com/">Lilio</a>, <a href="http://noaharrison.blogspot.com/">Noa</a>) and how much everyone contributed. Forst off, I think that we all had an equal amount of spotlight time throughout the video as well as lip-syncs. In addition, we all planned, filmed, and edited together. <br />

I think that the part the audience will enjoy the most is probably the humorous parts of the video. I feel this way because, our audience is middle schoolers and they usually value humor over anything else. Throughout our video, most of the humor is portrayed when Noa tries to sneak in and disturb us girls trying to have fun. In our music video, we also included bloopers which also added a lot of humor into it as well. (It showed some behind the scenes of frustration, laughs, and some real friendship)</div>

As I said before, our music video is our final project this year, therefore, we had to try our best to showcase everything we've learned over this school year. This is my second year in the G.T. program and this is a way to create a high quality video as well as to just have fun making our last project at Kapa'a Middle School. To make this video great, we all had to edit very precisely because we had to make sure each and every lip-sync and dance matched with the audio. Also, we used many effects and also tried to incoorperate some interesting and creative shots/anlges to add to our video. This has been such a great last year at KMS, thank you Mr.Sanderl for all you have done for me!</div>

I am saddened at the thought that this is going to be my last G.T. project, here at Kapa'a Middle School. But, anyways when I think about music and a song with special/meaningful lyrics I become overwhelmed with joy. Although most songs I listen to make me laugh, dance, and smile, some of my favorite songs make me a little sad due to it's very meanigful words.<br />
<br />
After contemplating for some time, my teammates (<a href="http://brookekauo.blogspot.com/">Brooke</a>, <a href="http://liliomasi.blogspot.com/">Lilio</a>, <a href="http://noaharrison.blogspot.com/">Noa</a>) and I, decided to incorporate two songs in our music video. We first start off with a song called, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqr9w6zp7pw">"Watch Me," by Silento</a> which is a fun and catchy song. Then once the audience is in the groove, we plan on putting a sound effect of a scratched record and the next song, "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIb6AZdTr-A">Girls Just Want To Have Fun," by Cyndi Lauper</a>, will begin to play. We chose this song because it is super catchy, we could make a story out of the meaningful lyrics, and hey, it's true... girls just want to have fun! Pretty much all great music videos have a story to it and it's very important that the story is also entertaining to the audience. Now having our song chosen, it was time for us to come up with that entertainging story. <br />

<em><strong>Above is a portion of our music video production plan</strong></em> </div>
<br />
My teamates and I decided that since our team is made up of three girls and one boy, we should show us girls having fun in different places and have Noa try to come in and have fun with us... but we won't let that happen! For example, Brooke, Lilio, and I will be dancing and Noa tries to come in and do the same, but all of us will push him away. Another example is, in the beginning we will show Noa dancing to his jam, "Watch Me," when all of a sudden the music changes and it goes to our song's audio and shows us girls. So throughout the song we will be displaying things such as the first example. <br />

</div>
For our animation project, our focus statement is <a href="http://keegankessler.blogspot.com/">Keegan </a>Bakes Perfection. We chose those words to represent our story because our main focus is how Keegan's doubt is stopping her from accomplishing things, like baking for example. In our story, Keegan wants to be a good friend and bake cupcakes for her friend's birthday party, but she quickly comes face to face with failure. But with practice, patience, and perseverance Keegan overcomes the challenge, and successfully finishes the task. The cupcakes are meant to represent people's lives, as in we need to make mistakes in order to accomplish great things and power through and defeat any other challenges that lie ahead of us.<br />

<br />
The lesson our audience will learn from our story is that failure isn't always a bad thing... failure can have absolute great outcomes sometimes. But success will only come if you are patient, positive, and persevere through the challenge. We show this lesson by showing Keegan having trouble and doubtfulness in her abilities to be successful. Instead of giving up, she decides to try one last time and overcomes the challenge.<br />

Over-all, I think my teammates and I worked great together! One of our best moments (I believe) was when we were taking photos for a scene where <a href="http://haleygokan.blogspot.com/">Haley </a>is overwhelmed with joy that Keegan baked cupcakes for her birthday. For this scene, Haley was to kind of jump on or push over Keegan in excitement. Another funny and good time was when Haley and Keegan were filming a voice-over, and made the funniest sounds! One of our worst times was probably when we had to turn in our two scene teaser. As in, we had a difficult time meeting the minimum time requirement and did not include voice-overs. But we soon got to work and completed all that was required. </div>

My team mates for the project are <a href="http://keegankessler.blogspot.com/">Keegan</a>,<a href="http://haleygokan.blogspot.com/"> Haley</a>, and <a href="http://aprilmurakami.blogspot.com/">April</a>. Two fascinating things about Haley is, she is a great <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiko">Taiko</a> drummer and you can also find her singing all the time. April on the other-hand enjoys anime and reading mystery books. Lastly Keegan absolutely loves to bake and also is a pro when it comes to volleyball .<br />

Animation... there are many forms of it; <a href="http://www.stykz.net/animations.php">Stykz</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_animation">clay formations</a>, <span id="goog_102268748"></span>digital<span id="goog_102268749"></span>, <a href="http://www.whiteboardanimation.com/">whiteboard</a>, and many more. But the type of animation that you, along with numerous others probably know of, is stop-motion. Stop-motion is a form of animation that is used to make a subject(s) have the illusion of movement. To portray this illusion, you first take a still picture of your subject, then have the subject move a tad, take another picture, move once more, and take a picture again. You then repeat this until you have all the necessary images to form the movement. Now, you can put your images together in Photoshop, or another digital editor you'd like to work in. Another form of animation that you might hear often is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Interchange_Format">GIF</a>. GIF stands for, Graphic Interchange Format, which is simply just a compressed file of your animation. If you'd like to see simple examples of a GIF, you can take a look at my two that I have created.<br />

So for our project, "tell Your Story", all teams had to choose a story that happened to one of our teammates. As a couple days passed, we finally agreed to do a story about our fellow teammate, Keegan, who loves to bake. The focus of our story is, how one has to make a couple of mistakes to make (what they believe) is perfection. Also, with patience and perseverance comes great outcomes. We know that everyone has faced this a couple times or two and we believe that this would be a good representation on how to overcome it. So, we want to show that Keegan is trying to bake cupcakes for her friends birthday but she has reached a couple of bumps in the road, but after she doesn't give up and perseveres through her struggles, she accomplishes the task. The cupcakes are meant to represent people's lives as in we need to make mistakes if we want to be ready for any other challenges we may encounter. With that, we decided to name our animation, "Keegan Bakes Perfection".And by the way Keegan is actually a fantastic baker, but everyone knows that even professionals can make mistakes sometimes.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11193239250512114322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924885528729022431.post-75856348575507424292015-03-23T02:10:00.001-07:002015-03-25T14:48:45.982-07:00Typography Images<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our present project in G.T. is <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/28-excellent-examples-of-typography-portraits/">Typography</a>. For those of you who don't know what typography is, I'm here to tell you. <a href="http://10steps.sg/tutorials/photoshop/make-yourself-an-amazing-typographic-portrait/">Typography</a> is the style and appearance of print. But for our project, we are to create a typography portrait which is where we use the shape of a subject as the outline for words that describe the subject. This should leave the viewer thinking and awe struck. It can be used with images to make a lasting impact because it demonstrates an interesting work of art by incorporating both an image and inspiring words. For example, you could get a portrait of a well known person like Walter Disney and use his fascinating words of joy and wisdom or words that describe him.</div>

When we were first introduced to this project, I must admit I was afraid of what the outcome would be. During the first two trials, although the steps seemed a little complicated at first, I received strategic instructions, watched easy-to-follow <a href="http://designbump.com/create-a-easy-typographic-portrait-in-photoshop-tutorial/">tutorials</a>, and got help from neighbors, which made the images quite easy for me to complete. But for our last picture, I ran into little bumps in the road. I was completely over-thinking all of the steps to finish the picture, which made me go backwards. I had trouble with selecting my image due to the background, and also creating a brush for the words that I think describe me. But thanks to my very helpful neighbor, <a href="http://liliomasi.blogspot.com/">Lilio</a>, I was able to over-come those bumps. <br />
<br />
Above are my first photos, we all had to complete two examples. On the right, you will see my first finished image and on the left is my second. For our first photograph, our <a href="http://startupguide.com/world/greatest-innovators/">innovator</a> product, we were to pick a famous innovator... as you can see, I choose Benjamin Franklin. For the text we were instructed to copy information off of our subjects biography. For our second image, we all got to choose a teacher to take a portrait of and interview, so we could create a typography image of them. The process of making this photo was interesting because we all got to learn a little more about our teachers. The teacher my group and I chose was, Mr. David Rohrs, Kapa'a Middle School's P.E. teacher. I am actually quite happy with my final product for our teacher image! Below is my final on our last required typography image. In my opinion, this was the most difficult image to create because unlike our other images, we had to create individual brushes for each word we choose to stamp over ourselves. In addition a lot of thought had to be put into the placement of every single word. Although it was a little difficult, I really like this one because it made me think of what words really do describe me and my life. I am quite pleased with my final product!<br />

Our new project is portraits that have a little twist to it; we first have a photographer take a profile picture of us and then go out and capture images that we find inspiring or symbolic to our lives. Before we were able to begin we had to learned what <a href="http://www.ehow.com/facts_4854323_what-portrait-photography.html">portrait photography</a> is. We learned that portrait photography or portraiture is of a person that has a presentation of expression, personality, and mood. The main focus of a portraiture is commonly the person's face. It can also relate to a profile view and silhouetting because they are all focusing on a single subject and being able to recognize the subjects features. Our task is to create a fascinating<a href="http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2014/04/18/double-exposure-portraits-a-simple-tutorial-for-making-surrealist-images/"> double exposed portrait</a>. <br />

To make this type of portrait image in Photoshop you must first take your profile portrait. Then you can take two different textural photographs, like s landscape photo for example, or an image that symbolizes you. Now you can open Photoshop and select the "load pictures in to stack" option and make sure you size the image to be 8.5 in. x 11 in. and the resolution to 300. Then you are ready to double click on your portrait layer and select a blend mode of your choice and experiment the different options. After choosing a mode that you are satisfied with, you can do the same for the next picture, for the last image you may re-size or adjust its placement if you'd like. Next you can play around with your two textural images until you get something you like and you can also add adjustment layers if you wish. I believe you will be amazed at how different options can make your image look spectacular just as it did to mine. These photos are really fun to make and look absolutely stunning! <br />

For my practice image I faced towards the right and for my final picture I faced towards the opposite direction; left. I did this so when both images were completed I could position them to face each other. By doing so, I wanted to represent two different people looking at each other and them taking in their differences... just like how we should do the same in our every day lives. So for my practice photograph I captured a tree with sunlight passing through its branches and also another tree but with a different look and perspective on it. I really liked my practice image because of the position of the sun-rays... it kind of made my face look like it had a sparkle or shimmer. The two other images I took for my final was a picture of a spectacular sunset and a picture of me at Lumaha'i beach (those pictures are above).These two pictures symbolize me because I absolutely love the beach and one of the meanings for my name; Leleaka, is the light. <br />

HDR or "high dynamic range" is a type of photography that in my opinion, is amazing! It creates a gorgeous over-all product with a great amount of detail. What is dynamic range? Well I can tell you, it's the ratio of the light and darkness in a ratio. HDR photography uses two images at a minimum, with all of the images at different exposures. After taking your images, you can then use a computer program of your choice (in this case we used Photoshop) and you can merge them together to get an amazing final product. Some examples that would be good for a HDR photo are, landscapes and portraits. But it will only work best if your subject or main focus is still. The best time to take landscape photos, in my opinion, is either during sunrise or sunset; the golden hours. For me, I would like to make all of my pictures an HDR image because it's just so spectacular!<br />
<br />
To create a HDR image <a href="http://www.graphicmania.net/how-to-create-hdr-photos-in-photoshop-cs5/">step-by-step</a>, you must first collect all of you images. With that said, you should set up any camera you wish, ideally on a tripod or an object to keep the camera stable. Then you set the exposure to the however dark you want the first picture to be ( I set the exposure level at -2 for my first photo), you can then move the exposure up a little, take another picture once again (remember to go up in the same increment everytime) and just repeat these steps until you are satisfied with the quantity. After your finished with taking the pictures, you can upload them to any editing program you would like. If you would like to use Photoshop, open the program, click "File" (left corner), then click the "Automate" option, then "Merge to HDR Pro". Now you can select your files and let it load. When it finishes loading, you can personalize your image if you'd like.<br />

Above are my final <a href="http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=HDR+photos&FORM=HDRSC2">HDR photos</a>. The first image is an HDR portrait of my beautiful sister; Ilihia, the second photo is an HDR landscape, and my last image is both of the pictures combined which made a superimposed photo. The goal for our photos were surrealism, so with these images I enhanced the exposure, saturation, vibrance, and gamma effects. By doing so, I made the colors in the sky pop a little more. For the picture of my sister, the portrait, I selected an effect that I believed looked surrealistic, I increased the amount of detail, exposure, highlights and darks, the vibrance, gamma, and saturation. For the last photo; superimposed, I cut-out the picture of my sister and placed it on top of my landscape image. I edited them both once again and added a word that matched with the over-all feeling. I really enjoyed making these photos and I hope my sister likes them!<br />

Towards the end of quarter two, we had the chance to venture off into the world of movies. We were assigned to come up with a story then to share it by making it into a movie trailer. After collaborating with my wonderful teammates; <a href="http://brookekauo.blogspot.com/">Brooke Kauo</a>, <a href="http://sydneyspider.blogspot.com/">Sydney Nice</a>, and <a href="http://wailanamakepa.blogspot.com/">Wailana Makepa</a>, we decided to make a trailer named, "Letters To John". Our movie trailer is about a girl and boy; Andrea and John. But everything goes downhill when Andrea's boyfriend suddenly goes missing. Andrea then visits her "safe haven" and gets the surprise of a lifetime. My contribution to our movie trailer project was doing some writing for our trailer plan, doing the second voice acting script (presenting Andrea's emotions on the situation), and acting as Andrea. Gabe Sifuentes and Maxwell Nice also helped and contributed to our video, so a very big thanks to them! (There's a little more information down below on our trailer plan)</div>

Like all of our projects this year, there are requirements. That included a time limit; one minute and thirty seconds to two minutes and also a movie poster demonstrating our knowledge when working with Photoshop. We also had to include effects, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_%28filmmaking%29">foley</a>, text layovers, dialogue, a voice acting script, and five scenes at the least. I believe my team and I meet all of the requirements because we stayed on task and over-all we were very organized. We also created 10 scenes.<br />
<br />
During the class critique, our classmates had to assess our video on 3 categories. First audience, then creativity and lastly requirements. Our intended audience were first graders, so we rated each other on how the first graders could relate or the maturity of the video. Then to creativity, well that's kind of comprehensible. Lastly, the requirements. The last category was based on how well or how many requirements we completed. The three different levels were room for improvement, satisfactory, and above and beyond! Our team's results are below.<br />
<br />

<br />
I was quite happy with my classmates critique on our final product! The majority of the votes for the audience category were "satisfactory", "above and beyond" for creativity, and also "above and beyond" for the requirements category. I most definitely agree with the results because it was a little mature for first graders and I also believe we deserved the "above and beyond" choice because we did have creativity and also meet all the requirements. After finishing our project, I have learned that it is very, very important to plan well ahead of time (I can't stress that enough haha) and to also be very organized. One more thing is, to always re-watch your footage, you never know, you may have to re-film. I really loved this project and I hope you enjoyed our video, "Letters to John".</div>

In G.T we have a new project that has been assigned, which is creating a movie trailer and accompanying <br />
it with a movie poster. After collaborating with my amazing team we came to a conclusion and decided to name our movie trailer, "Letters To John". The main characters in the poster above are Andrea (myself) and John (Gabe Sifuentes). In my movie poster, I have us sitting on a dock; which was one of Andrea and John's favorite place to be together. In this I have faded Gabe's body. This symbolizes how John has disappeared out of Andrea's life and how she is left alone to handle with the hardship.<br />

Included in my poster is also the movie title, reviews, the media production, characters names, and a brief synopsis. We titled our movie, "Letters To John" because it is the main idea of what our story is about. Andrea is stranded in her own perfect world when her boyfriend suddenly goes missing. She is relieved when she finally gets a letter from him telling her that he's okay. With that message, she decides to send letter after letter to John and helps him with his depression. I also included, "A story about persistence, love, and courage" which is giving a little hint and an attention grabber to the audience. Oh, and one more thing; the reviews! I added reviews from movie critics around the world to show my audience of what some experts think of the movie.<br />
<br />
To add interest to our text, we were taught about kerning. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning">Kerning</a> is used to space out words or letters and also has the ability to make a phrase, sentence or word more eye catching and intriguing. This technique is not only interesting but it also makes words easier to read. Kerning can be used in movie posters or anything that you want... you could even use it in an essay's title. Kerning is very helpful, for example, if you have a sentence and the color, size, and font is perfect but the words are over-lapping each other or squished, kerning spaces the words and/or letters out for you.<br />
<br />
The layer effects and filters I used in my poster had numerous effects on the over-all feeling and final product. For example, I made the background darker than the main characters because I wanted Andrea and John to be the main focus. I also made John a little faded to represent that he is not in Andrea's life at the moment. In addition, I tried to stick with two colors for the text so it wouldn't be too overwhelming but I also added some effects on the text to make them a little more noticeable than before.<br />

Mrs. Sanderl, the art teacher, introduced us to an inspiring art form; <a href="http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=book+folding+images&qpvt=book+folding+imagezss&FORM=IGRE">book folding</a>. Book folding is when you come up with a word of your choice, choose a font, print the word out on a template, and then start folding away. Trust me, it's a very complicated process. At first I thought it was going to be a walk in the park, but I soon came to realize that I may have to restart a few times. We got inspired to do this project from a man named, <a href="http://artistaday.com/?p=8278">Isaac Salazar</a>. This American book artist, reuses books that are going to be disposed or are not in use and later turns them into a work of art. Visual Literacy is the ability to receive meaning through an image and is the belief that meaning can be produced through reading. This project is an example of Visual Literacy because after the individual picks a meaningful word, image or number, it forces thought and interest upon the viewers mind.<br />
<br />
With this opportunity, I decided to fold a book that read "Sing". I chose this word because I have been singing for as long as I can remember and I just simply love to sing. The font I incoorperated, I believe really matched my word. It's a simple font, but it also has a special flow to it that really went well with my word. Singing has a flow of melody, words, and meaning. Singing does not only help me but I know how it also connects to a lot of other people; I wanted my word to have a special meaning not only to me but also to others. For the book, I folded around 337 pages.<br />
<br />

Although I was quite satisfied with the result, I noticed that the I and N were a little smaller than the S and G, so it was a little difficult to read it. If I were to do this project again, I would probably fold the pages more accurately and I would also choose a image next time. Even though there was a lot of frusteration during the process of folding, I had fun and I'm sure that people will want to inspire others to do the same. <br />

Well really, I'm both. At times I can be quite the procrastinator; not really with schoolwork, but with home priorities. After a long day of school, all kids want to go home and just relax, maybe take a nap, go to the beach, eat some ice cream accompanied by a movie, or we may just not feel like starting up our school brain again. And sometimes I feel like that. But usually right when I get home I begin my homework so I can finish it ahead of time and don't have to worry about the assignment later on. But it's another thing when it comes to chores. I usually put it off and wait until my parents remind me about it. Trust me I do plan when I'm going to do these things but sometimes it just slips my mind. But over-all I think I'm more proactive than a procrastinator.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYWALA3KVHoz5K38qBNcHW6y_QNQgW5pJjqBoOxt421GsEsc8YZWUqmT5AGS5wvsOJ3UwUTHvhCH3e6Y3Eo2aceJY31COkXUWVIGpiyVgHNzCrQq5a3LmOZwqWSiqfEOPjrdxK-hM5kH8/s1600/Blogger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYWALA3KVHoz5K38qBNcHW6y_QNQgW5pJjqBoOxt421GsEsc8YZWUqmT5AGS5wvsOJ3UwUTHvhCH3e6Y3Eo2aceJY31COkXUWVIGpiyVgHNzCrQq5a3LmOZwqWSiqfEOPjrdxK-hM5kH8/s1600/Blogger.jpg" height="172" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The amount of free time I have always depends on how proactive I am. For example, I sometimes put my work aside so I can have free time for the afternoon but that always back fires. I then have heaps of homework to do the next day, from putting my previous assignments aside. But at other times, I'm really determined to finish my homework right when I'm assigned to it so I can have extra time during the afternoon or weekend.<br />
<br />
If I were to change my work habits, I would most definitely try to be more proactive. Although I always find a way to finish all my assignments in on time and get good grades on them, it does cause me a lot, and I mean a lot, of stress. If I were to finish my assignments right when I got home, all of that stress would slip away. To fix my procrastination, I would try to forget about all of my distractions, and just focus on what had to be done. I will now try my best to always be proactive, and hopefully have a lot of free time after making my homework my first priority.<br />

With this opportunity, I decided to write a poem about a place that I cherish; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanalei,_Hawaii">Hanalei</a>. I was excited to film footage for this project because I got to remind myself of how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place like Hanalei. I decided to revolve my poem on my outlook of this amazing place and what others may think of it too. I know that everyone has that one special place where they could just go and forget about all of their problems, so I choose a topic where people could relate upon.<br />
<br />
Throughout my video I applied several effects to bring out the feeling I was trying to create. For example, with the clips of the sunset I enhanced the colors so the audience could feel like they were at the beach watching the enchanting sunset. In another clip I slowed down the motion and towards the end, I included a transition that fades so my last lines and picture could linger in the audience's minds.<br />
<br />
Over-all, I believe my project had a great end result. I thought my poem had a good feel to it, my visuals accompanied my wording well, and I believe I edited my footage accurately. I am quite satisfied with my result, but there is a couple of things I could improve. With a little more time, I could have re-filmed my poem lines so it would sound more clear and it could have also been read a little slower. But again, I think I did a great job and I'm glad that I could share my love for my home with everyone.<br />

My group and I have completed our news story; Hurricane Iniki. I believe our finished product was great and included the required criteria. Our story was about the *horrible hurricane that hit the island on Kaua'i on September 11, 1992 and how the Kaua'i people were affected. We really wanted to reach out to people of all ages and educate them about the dangers of a hurricane and how to be prepared. We also wanted people to hear first-hand about what could happen to you or your family doing a hurricane. Although it took us quite some time to film the interviews, gather b-roll, and edit, my team and I worked very well together and got the task done.<br />
<br />
I must give a big thanks to my teamates; they went above and beyond and I couldn't do it without them.. so thank you <a href="http://liliomasi.blogspot.com/">Lilio</a>, <a href="http://rfumedia.blogspot.com/">Russell</a>, <a href="http://sethgt.blogspot.com/">Seth</a>, and <a href="http://noaharrison.blogspot.com/">Noa</a>! I also really appreciated all of the people who agreed to contribute to our project and were willing to be very open towards my team and I. We were able to film six interviews in all and learned a lot from each individual. With-in the six interviews we got information from all different ages; three ten year olds shred their knowledge, as well as three adults. My teamates and I loved getting to hear the stories and advice from each interviewee... we greatly appreciate all of their help!<br />
<br />
I am very pleased with our final product! We worked very hard while trying to make our video the best it could be, and with overcoming any problems that we faced by resolving it as a team. I liked how we got information from several people of all different ages, so all audiences could connect to each interviewee. <br />
<br />
After completing our video, the class critiqued each film one by one (All of the videos were amazing!) When getting the heads-up of our video being next; I must admit we were all afraid at first, but after the first couple of seconds we realized that we didn't do too shabby. We were also more than happy with our results; I did agree with everyones votes and kind comments. <br />

While searching for an interesting story I came upon the headline <a href="https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/25102746/police-worry-over-copycat-attacks/">"Police Worry Over Copycat Attacks"</a>. This story was about an 18 year old man with wicked intentions, who had been one of the authorities many concerns for his connection to rigorous Islamic groups. Many authorities are keeping a watchful eye on the community. They have been forced to act in this behavior due an attack on two officers outside the Endeavour Hills station in Melbourne's western suburbs last Tuesday night. He planned to cut off their heads and post the gruesome images online. He was then shot after assaulting the two policemen; a Victorian police officer and an Australian Federal Police officer (AFP). Using a small knife he stabbed the AFP officer unfortunately in the face, neck and stomach. The Victorian officer was also stabbed in his arm. After his vicious actions, Numan Haider was shot by a single round, fired by the Victorian officer and later died.<br />
<br />
My opinion on this topic is that I believe the police officer did have the right to shot the man because he assaulted the police officers first. Although I think this, I am still sadden at the thought that such a young man was killed. I think they did this because they didn't want anybody else in the community to get hurt or even killed again.<br />
<br />
We should be well informed and aware on this subject because we don't know if more people have the same intentions or even worse. Also this was a human life that was killed and more people should be aware of this. One more thing about this event is more violent interactions can occur as well as terrorism.<br />

During this project my team and I are becoming well aware of how preparation is key when warned about a hurricane. I find it very interesting that we are getting feedback from people that actually experienced <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Iniki">Hurricane Iniki</a>. The stories just amaze me! From these stories I believe my team and I are going to be well prepared if a hurricane does happen to approach Kaua'i.<br />
<br />
Our biggest challenge that we had to over come was editing our interviews and filming applicable<br />
B-roll. It took us quite some time to edit, due to filming seven interviews; when editing these interviews we had to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_cut">cut </a>out any mistakes including the little ones. So, when editing our interviews there were numerous cuts in them so we had to film lots of applicable b-roll. We didn't only need b-roll to cover the interviews but also for our voice-overs. So, my team and I are still planning to go out and film more. Most of our b-roll are pictures of the destruction from Hurricane Iniki and we need a little more video for our b-roll. We also took b-roll of the roads and places that were hit so it was pretty hard to keep the camera stable while traveling down bumpy roads.<br />
<br />
I believe the most valuable part of the film making process was going out to the community and getting information from several different individuals and a wide range of age groups. I also loved getting to work and edit with my group because we got to work problems out together, get great ideas from one another, and got the work done by cooperating. I can't wait to finish and produce our final product<br />

By doing this video, we are not only teaching others about this storm but <u>we</u> are learning as well. We decided to base our project on hurricanes because we wanted to raise awareness to everyone about how hurricanes <u>can</u> change your life. Fortunately we haven't been hit here on Kaua'i during this 2014 hurricane season, but we are all definitely keeping our eyes and ears open. We are trying to persuade people that this situation should be taken seriously; they should stay tuned in to their local weather announcement centers, prepare for the worse, and hope for the best!<br />
<br />
I believe my team and I are working very well together. But one thing I think we can improve upon is communicating with each other and planning more ahead of time. Although we are doing good as a team, I think we can work harder to make everything close to perfect! We all know that the only way we will stay productive and complete our task is by working together as one. A couple ways I can help my team is by trying to complete our pitch sheets during my free time, encourage my team to keep filming (You can never get too much footage), and I will also do my fair share through-out this project time.<br />
<br />
While the camera is not rolling my team and I are editing our interviews, thinking of what we can improve on, and planning on what we can film next. Our<a href="https://khs-cte-ac-weiss.wikispaces.com/file/view/Interview+composition+-+Hiki+No.pdf"> interviews </a>have gone very well along with our <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-roll">B-Roll</a>. We have been transcribing our interviewee's comments; by doing so we are able to brainstorm about what B-Roll would go good with the replies. I love how we have five students in our group because we can all get great suggestions from one another and also learn how to overcome obstacles. Everyone in our group has their own special talent and is more then happy to share it with everyone; which has really helped us as a team. I hope you get the chance to tune in to HIKI NO, every thursday night at 9 to support schools from across the Hawaiian Islands, and I also hope you will get to see our video!<br />

So with this opportunity I decided to make an appearing drawing of myself. With-in this process I first, took a picture of myself in Photo Both, then opened the picture in Photoshop, where I traced myself in different layers and slides to create the "magical" appearing picture. After I completed the tracing step, I colored in my school shirt to create a contrast of content effect. How is it contrast of content? Well, everything was back and white, where as my shirt was green.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Although this task was difficult, it was a great way to test my prior knowledge of Photoshop and the accurate steps to complete my project choice. Even though I had some trial and error, (by some I mean a lot), I think my finished project was pretty good.<br />

So far my 8th grade school year is going great, I have amazing teachers, wonderful classes and fantastic friends. My favorite moment so far was being picked to be one of the two anchors for our daily KMS news. To get this job we had to participate in an interview with a couple of other classmates, so when I was chosen to be an anchor I was very excited and anxious of what laid ahead. Another exciting but scary moment was when we were given the mission to start a project in <a href="http://www.photoshop.com/products/photoshop/what">photoshop </a>by ourselves, using our prior knowledge of photoshop, without asking questions. With this opportunity to create anything our heart desired, I decided to do an animation of myself appearing on the computer screen. By having this task we are practicing a couple of our GLO's; Self-Directed Learner, Complex Thinker and Effective Communicator.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" mozallowfullscreen="" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/95259755?portrait=0&color=ff0179" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During the fourth quarter we were given the opportunity to create an animation video. Our video had to have a form of something morphing into something else. My team mates (<a href="http://keegankessler.blogspot.com/">Keegan</a>, <a href="http://liliomasi.blogspot.com/">Lilio</a>, <a href="http://kuumomithompson.blogspot.com/">Ku'umomi</a>) and I decided to make a film that could bring awareness to many people about bullying. Our video also consisted of three different types of animation, stop-motion, claymation and digital art. Our first scene had Lilio playing as the bully and picking up an innocent flower, with this flower she starts to tear the petals from the stem and throws it to the ground. The next scene we had the flowers make their way down the stairs which Keegan (friend) picks up and begins to gently place the flower's petals in their rightful place. The flower is placed on top of the railing and starts sliding on top of it and then it "fly's" into the air and starts to morph into its human self (me). So with this story we had the flower representing a girl that was being bullied but a friend had her back and helped her "pick up her broken pieces".<br />
<br />
I believe our finished product was pretty good; as it was our first time dealing with three types of animation. I think the best part of our video was the digital art because we got to make the scene more unique by getting to draw out the scene. One thing that my team and I could improve is our stop-motion because during the scenes that had stop-motion we didn't use a tripod which could have reduced our camera movement. In addition, stop-motion is used to make inanimate objects come to life or to make an object do something that they couldn't do normally. For example, instead of having our characters walk we could've made them fly or slide into the scene. But overall I think my team and I did a great job.<br />

One of our recent projects was "Words of Wisdom". My team (<a href="http://liliomasi.blogspot.com/">Lilio</a>, <a href="http://pickleloren.blogspot.com/">Loren</a>, <a href="http://hershelweiner.blogspot.com/">Hershel</a>) and I decided to interview Dave Stewart (my grandfather). Before filming we had to make a production plan that included the subject, what B-roll we would collect, what would be said on the voice-overs and what shots we would film. After completing our production plan I interviewed my grandfather and asked questions about his earlier years. He explained how at a very young age he was offered to go to the beautiful island of Kaua'i and how he couldn't resist because it was his dream to come here. He also explains how important it is to be hard working, as it can really help you achieve your dreams. He tells how through hard work and perseverance you can one day accomplish anything, just like he did. He now has a big family and two very successful businesses.<br />

One of the first projects I've completed in G.T. was a<a href="http://vimeo.com/album/2738016"> "Five Tips For"... video</a>. In this video my team mates (<a href="http://baileybay.blogspot.com/">Bailey</a> and <a href="http://www.korabella.blogspot.com/">Kora</a>) and I had to demonstrate how to accomplish something in 5 easy to follow steps. Our topic was, "How to make your parents happy." We choose this topic because we thought this could be helpful towards some people and we thought our video topic was different in a way.<br />

A couple things that we could have done better was preventing camera movement by re-filming and making some of the titles larger. Filming and creating this video was not only fun but it was also a great learning experience. I learned how to use composition techniques and voice-overs correctly and how they make a video so much more interesting. I believe my group and I had a great finished product!<br />

These techniques include, <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.15; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">r</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">ule of thirds</span><span style="text-indent: 36pt;">, f</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">raming</span><span style="text-indent: 36pt;">, u</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">nusual angles, l</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">eading lines, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">emotion</span>, a<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">ction,</span> c<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">lose up</span>, <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">reaction, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">contrast in content, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">repetition of shapes, group shot, parts of a whole, horizontal, and </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">vertical. But the main four composition techniques are, rule of thirds, framing, unusual angles, and leading lines. So... what are these techniques? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Rule Of Thirds</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The<a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds/"> rule of thirds</a> makes an image or a subject look well balanced and makes it interesting. Also the rule of thirds breaks the subject into three equal parts, both vertically and horizontally. When the subject is in three parts, the subject's eyes are at one of the intersecting lines. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Framing </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/framing-your-shots-photography-composition-technique">Framing</a> is a technique that is used to draw the attention of the viewer to a certain subject. Also, while framing it's essential to pick a great place with many fascinating "frame" like objects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Unusual Angles</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Unusual Angles is when you take a picture from an angle that is strange or unique. By creating a picture with unusual angles it adds many different effects to your image.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Leading Lines</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Leading Lines are lines within a picture that focuses the viewer's eye to a specific object. Some examples of leading lines are, train tracks, a road, etc.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All of these techniques are a great way to make any photo or video phenomenal!</span><br />

Most shots that occur in sequencing are, <a href="http://www.mediacollege.com/video/shots/">wide, medium, and close-up shots</a>. Th</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">ese shots are a way to unfold an action but in a fascinating way. When using this method in visual storytelling all shots should be different and be focused on one object. Also, before filming different shots the camera operator should think of what angles will be eye-catching to an audience. Always remember, s</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">equencing is a great way to add interest in any video! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">After researching about sequencing all G.T. students had to construct a short video with a sequence. My groups topic was "Surprise!". While filming we had to plan ahead of time to think of interesting angles that would compliment our video and catch our audience's eye. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">A great sequence would first start with a wide shot that captures the main subject, then it would cut to a medium shot that shows what particular thing the subject it doing, and lastly it would cut to a close-up or even an extreme close-up. Within these shots, you should also use composition techniques.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Below is my groups example of sequencing. </span><br />

<br />
Before filming our Profile Story my group and I had to create a <a href="http://vimeo.com/album/2738016">Practice Story</a>. Our Practice Story had to include a subject (student from G.T. class), the actual interview, voice-overs, and b-roll. My group and I (<a href="http://liliomasi.blogspot.com/">Lilio Masi</a>, <a href="http://pickleloren.blogspot.com/">Loren Weiner</a>, and <a href="http://hershelweiner.blogspot.com/">Hershel Weiner</a>) decided to interview me because they thought the topic that I was going to share would be fascinating. My story was based on how I love to sing and how my life revolves around singing.<br />
<br />
A couple of things that we struggled with was, finding b-roll that matched what I was stating due to filming b-roll before the interview. We had to film our b-roll first because there wasn't enough <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/newsLetter/Lavalier-Microphones.jsp">lavalier microphones</a>, so in the end our b-roll didn't really match what I was saying in the interview. Also we didn't get to rehearse our voice-overs so you could hear the unsure pauses, but over-all I believe our video had good quality.<br />
<br />
Since it was our first time creating a Profile Story we had some trouble creating our finished product but I believe my group and I worked very well together and did great. After being critiqued my group and I knew what we had to create to make our videos go from good to GREAT. <br />

During the pass couple of weeks we have thought of an individual that has an inspiring story, and one who can influence<b> </b>young children. So my group and I decided to interview a man named, Dave Stewart. Dave tells us about his life and his risk-taking. He explains that, though at times you will come face-to-face with some hardships, if you have motivation and work hard one day you will live up to your dream. At a very young age he took a risk, and now knows it was the right decision because he owns successful business's, <a href="http://www.kayakhanalei.com/">Kayak Hanalei</a>, and Hanalei Wave Riders. After school my group and I checked out cameras, and first interviewed, then we filmed our B-rolls and voice-overs.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What are B-rolls and voice-overs? Well, <a href="http://vimeo.com/73824449">B-Roll</a><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> adds visual interest that assists and compliments a story. When it is placed over an interview the addition of fascinating imagery can help the viewer relate to the story. B-Roll can also be used to hide any cuts in an interview and classify what is being said through similar visual details. When used correctly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice-over#Creative_device">Voice-overs</a> </span><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">help narrate a certain story by first grabbing the audience’s attention, filling any gaps with great transitions between any mistakes, and lastly summing up the overall message of a story. But if used incorrectly, voice-overs can make a story hard to follow or dull.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">My team and I have been working great together, we have made great progress with our editing in Final Cut Pro-X and Production Plan. One thing that the whole team could work better on is communicating. Communicating is key if you want to finish anything successfully with others. The thing that was hard was, our whole team meeting after school to film and having some team mates not coming to help edit when given extra time to.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.39px; white-space: pre-wrap;">After turning in our interview's rough-cut my group and I were critiqued. While reading through my classmates comments, I've noticed that our interview would be much better if we gathered more B-Roll. My group will go from good to great by filming more B-roll that goes along with what the interviewee is stating and also use our knowledge of composition techniques and sequencing and apply that to our "Profile Project."</span></span><br />
