I created my digital doodling using the program Adobe Photoshop. I created this doodle using the pen tool, the brush tool, and the pencil tool. The doodle consists of different lines, shapes, colors and layers. There are many things that you can create just by using the pen, pencil, and brush tool.
I enjoyed making this doodle, it was fun and easy. I found it interesting that you could make so many different designs from basic shapes and lines. I think that Adobe Photoshop is a great program and that this exercise could be useful for teaching children how to do digital doodling.
My Tee shirt design is about land pollution. I think that pollution is a big problem and that we need to do more to prevent it from getting worse. I made this design using Adobe Photoshop. I used the text tool and different layer effects. The top portion of the design is a picture of a landfill, with facts about pollution. The bottom portion of the design has a picture of a mall. The picture of the mall represents shopping and how everything we buy comes with a lot of packaging that ends up in a landfill. The layer effects on the landfill represent how we cover up landfills and hide what is underneath to make it look better, even though we know it is still a landfill. A lot of what we throw away could be recycled if we just took the time to sort it out. Pollution has negative effects on our health and will only get worse over time.
Video Production Journal
Pre-Production
What inspired me to create a
scary movie trailer was watching scary movies and movie trailers. I enjoyed
transforming an ordinary house into a scary movie set. You can transform any
room to look a certain way just buy using special effects and controlling the
lighting.
In my video I will show the
action of suspense and excitement through the characters and demonstrate the
conflict between the two friends and the evil that comes from within the house.
I want the audience to feel excitement and have them wanting to know what happens next, and keep them
wondering weather the friends ever make it out alive.
If I want to make my movie
better, I could research the filming process of creating a scary movie. I could
find ways to improve my video and get tips on how to create certain effects
that my video is lacking. I could compare my movie trailer to other trailers
and see the differences between them.
The anxieties I have about
this project is that it might not appeal to everyone. Some people might enjoy
it and others might think that it is too boring for them. The challenge is
getting people to want to see your movie after watching the trailer, you only
have a short period of time to show what your movie is about without giving it
away entirely.
The characters of the
narrative are the two friends, Vanessa and Scott, Freddy the killer, and
Elizabeth the young girl. Vanessa and Scott are the two main characters, Freddie
and Elizabeth are the ones that live inside of the house. When the two friend's
enter the house they encounter Freddie and Elizabeth when they are going from
room to room, looking for a way out.
The main conflict of the
story, is Vanessa and Scott trying to find a way out of the house. The main
issue is if they ever escape and what happens to them in the end.
The sequence of the story is
first showing the house, then the darkness of the house, then the two friends
entering the house, then what happens once they get inside.
I want to create a mood that is very dark and eerie. I will use
the x-ray effect to accomplish this, and adjust the lighting. I will also
create this by the actions of the characters and the looks on their faces.
My piece will end with
Elizabeth standing at the end of the hallway with the easel that they have
found in other room's. The characters have come to a dead end, they are faced
with the challenge of what they are going to do next and how they will make it
out of there.
I would have to figure out
where I would get an Pad to film to trailer, how long it would take to do the
actual filming and what type of props and costumes that I am going to use in
each of the different scenes.
Production
I have created a list of shots that I plan on producing. I
will have a few action shots, still shots and one video. I will not have my own
audio, but will add sound effects and music when I edit the film in iMovie.
Each room will include different props and actors. The lighting will be
captured by using the x-ray effect on the camera.
There are slides that narrate the story and go along with
the sequence of events. I think what worked well in shooting my video was
creating a story board of the sequence of events and taking multiple shots of
the scenes that I wanted to include, and choosing which ones worked best. It
made it easier to have a variety of images and clips to work with than just
shooting a few. I enjoyed making the clip of the cat in iStopMotion, I think
that it turned out nice. When I was filming, I would get more ideas for each of
the scenes and find ways to incorporate them. I have learned about the various
effects of the camera and how the lighting and sound can create a specific mood
for a story. I am feeling good about the project and I think that I captured
what I wanted to achieve.
Post Production
I am feeling good about the material that I have
at this point. I decided what footage to use by inserting multiple images of
the same shot and choosing which one looks best and where it fits in, in the
sequence. I have rearranged the clips several times and I am satisfied with the
solution. I have changed the number of seconds on each slide, and have added
music to the movie trailer. When I showed the movie trailer to other people,
they said that it looked spooky and could tell what type of movie that it was
for.
Presentation and Distribution
The strengths of finished piece are that you can tell
exactly what type of movie it is for and it shows just enough footage to get an
idea of what happens in the movie without completely giving it away. Important
lessons that I learned to apply to my next piece are, make a list of things
that you will need for the film, test out the location that you would like to
film each scene, and also create a storyboard of what you would like to do
before you start filming. The pleasures of being a video author is that you get
to show the viewers your vision, they get the chance to see the way you imagine
things to be. If a viewer is reading
your story from a text, the way they see your story might be very different
from the way the author had imagined it. The authors intentions might get
confusing to the viewer, if they are just reading it, but when they see it
brought to life it gives them a better understand of it.
Apocalyptic Zine Cover Design
Pre-Production
1a. Some movies that I have seen that are based on
apocalyptic scenarios are, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, and Dawn of the Dead.
1b. I have imagined what could happen and how things could
change from a disaster, but I haven't done anything to prepare for it.
1c. Some of the things that could cause the end of the world
are, war, disease, alien invasions, nuclear weapons, and natural disasters.
1d. We can't prevent the end of the world, but we can do
things to prevent it from happening sooner. We could stop polluting the earth
and slow down global warming, and also keep peace with each other and not have
any more wars.
2a. In my apocalyptic Scenario, there is a major hurricane
that destroys most of the world.
2b. What causes this is nature and climate change.
2c. Only about 500,000 people survive from this hurricane.
2d. Survival strategies would be to gather any materials and
food that is left and still good. People would have to find materials in the
destruction to build a small shelter, until someone is able to save them, and
take them to another place in the world that has not been destroyed.
2e. I do not fear this apocalypse because I do not live in
an area where hurricanes form and are common.
2f. There is a chance that I could face this apocalypse, if
I move to another area that is known for having hurricanes, or if I am on
vacation in one of these places.

This is a movie poster that I have edited in Photoshop. I used various effects in Photoshop to make this really look like me.

This is a community newsletter that I have made up. The community is called the Puppy Love Community, it is for people who love dogs.
