This is apart of my final for e9.  I had to make a website which was way more difficult then you would think and I am really proud of it.

This is my project page for my website and I chose my ten words for my favorite animation.  I like this one because it describes me as a person well.

This is the 2nd part of my project page and my favorite video I made was my chase scene.  I recorded this on an iPad and edited on final cut pro.  I enjoyed this project the most of the whole semester.

e9 Promotional Video

This is my e9 Promotional Video, which is advertising the freshman that are in the E-Communications program, which I am apart of.  I spent a good amount of time editing this video, and feel like I did that well.  I also feel like the music I picked fit the tone of the video really well.  I could've got more footage to fit the script better. I also should've had my voice over be a little quicker.  I hope you all enjoy this persuasive video!

LaurenSanford chasescene

Lindsey and I filmed a chase scene racing time.  I wanted to go to the bathroom and get to class on time.  I was critiqued and I shouldn't of shot anything in the bathroom.  I had a lot of different shots which is a good thing and that it told the story well.  I needed to move the camera around more too.  I really enjoyed doing this project.  Filming is a lot of fun and I hope you all enjoy the video!

Personality Match

Hey Bloggers!
Today I took a test about my personality trait.  Turns out I am like a beaver.  I am super organized, I tend to be more creative.  I like to solve things and I take my time to do something right.  I don't like change at all.  I sometimes need reassurance.  My strengths are high standards, order, and respect.  My weaknesses are unrealistic expectations of myself and others around me, and expressing flexibility.  I am limited on seeing the optimistic side of the world.

6 Shot System

                                     The 6 Shot System

                   Hey Bloggers!  Today I will be showing you how to do the 6 shot system!  The 6 shot system is a way to create a complex and dramatic way of video.

This photo is showing the extreme close-up.  Extreme close-up shows the expression of the person.

This photo is showing a regular close-up.  Close-ups show the emotion of the person.

This photo is over the shoulder.  Over the shoulder shows what the person is looking at.

This photo is the medium shot.  This shot ties everything together.  Including  what they are doing and the posture of the person.

This photo is showing the wide shot.  Wide shot shows the person from head to toe.

The last one of the system shows extreme wide shot.  Extreme wide shot shows the setting or where the person is. 

Social Media

        At Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine there was a high school senior that attended a session and posted rude comments about the people around her on Twitter.  This was looked upon by the college which denied her acceptance to the college because of these posts.  

         

         I was suprised that they actually took the time to look at her posts, and the fact that she did that in the first place!  She probably should be more cautious about what she posts on social media.  This also teaches me to be more cautious about what I put online.  I was also surprised that job candidates get cut if there social media isn't appropriate as well.  Many job applicants will get there social medias looked at to see if they are good for the job.

 

         I was wondering if my high school pays attention to all of our social medias.  Do they look at them and see all the things people post for certain applications for activities?  Do they cut someone based on there social media posts?  

           This article made me more cautious about what I post on social media.  I will be sure to check my social media consistently so that this never happens to me!

Drawing Name Animation Tutorial

Name Animation Tutorial:

The very first thing you do is open up photoshop on you're Mac.

When its open click file and new, and make the dimensions 600 by 150 pixels.
After you have set it up click layers on the right hand side of you're screen.
Once you have done that create a new layer and click the text tool on the left hand side of the screen, then click on the background wherever you want your name.

Choose the font, color, and text size you want for you're animation.  After you have done that you click the eraser tool and choose the size you want.  Then you will start erasing little bits of the last letter in you're name.  You will continue to do that with each letter.

Once you are done erasing every letter in you're name, you will need to click timeline and then click the little box that says frame by frame animation.  On the right hand side of that click the tiny box, and choose make frames from layers.

Then you have to highlight all the layers at the bottom, and click that tiny box again and choose reverse frames.

When you have finished play it and make sure everything is in the right

spot, and if not edit it.  Then your DONE!!

10 words

Hey bloggers it's Lauren!  I just made a video animation with my 10 words to describe me!  This was a lot more challenging than the others, because we used video instead of frame animations.  I learned a lot about video animating and I think its so much fun.  I hope you enjoy watching all the hard work I put into this as much as I do!

Hey guys its Lauren!  I just made my second animation and so proud to be showing everyone! This animation was a lot more challenging then the last animation, as you can see.  It took me about two days more than the last one.  I definitely feel like I have improved a lot since the first animation.  I also think that I have learned a lot of ways to do animation; all the tips and tricks.  I hope you enjoy this great animation I made!  I will definitely be showing more of these!

I am loving making a ton of new friends, and I also love going to all the fun school activities.  I never knew school could ever be this fun!  Freedom is my favorite part of high school, because we didn't have this much freedom in middle school.  I love being able to be on my phone during passing periods and lunch.  Lunch is my most favorite part of the day because I get to talk to al my friends and plus I am always starving by the time I eat.  I love it here at ONW and proud to call it my school.
