Google Logo








The Google logo was originally created by a man named Sergey Brin in 1988. The colors in the original logo were just primary colors, but weren't put in order, instead they put a secondary color on the "l" to show that Google doesn't follow the rules. This original logo kept it's same properties until around 2010, where they "O" an orange color instead of the yellow color that it had before. They also have always used the original font of Baskerville Bold for the font for the Google logo, but they did a rendered shadowing style.

The Chase



This project was a 30 shot sequence, where we used different shots to create a Chase scene. We used Close Up, Medium Shot, Wide Shot, Extreme Wide, POV, and OTS shots to tell our story.
This project started with me, meeting with my partner to create a storyboard. Once we got the storyboard done, we got to filming the shots that we drew up in the storyboard. After we got done filming our story, we uploaded our project onto the computer, where we would then edit the project. Finally, we uploaded our film to Youtube and to Blogger once we got done editing. In this project, I learned some new ways to film shots and I also learned that storyboarding is very importing to making the movie because you need to know what you are going to film.
In this project, I edited my shots differently than I usually do. In this project, I used more sounds and also sped up and slowed down the shots to make a cool effect.
I can make my future projects better because of this project because now I know some different editing techniques and also know how to film different kinds of shots.
In the end, I thought this project was fun, and beneficial at the same time, and I would recommend this for the classes after me.

What Font Am I?



I got the font "Helvetica". I think that this font represents me fully, but for the most part it suites me well. Some of the characteristics for it were Classic, Reliable, and maybe a bit boring. I really don't agree with the boring part, but I'd agree with the other words because I might consider myself a classic and reliable person. I think that the font also looks professional and clean, which could also describe me.

10 Shot Sequence



In this assignment we had to make a 10 shot sequence of someone going somewhere. My partner wanted to go to the cafeteria to get food so that is what we filmed.
We used 6 original shots and then copied 4 more shots to make the sequence. The 6 shots we did use were Close up, Medium, Wide, Extreme wide, POV, and Over the shoulder shots. Close up shots emphasize the characters emotions, Medium shots focus on emotion, but also show the characters torso, Wide shots focus on the character but also show their feet and some of their surroundings, Extreme shots show the character and the setting in which the character is in. POV shots go in the point of view of the character, so you can see what they see, and Over the shoulder shots show part of the character, and can also show what they are looking at. I learned how to film people moving to a specific location and also learned how to film different shots while moving, such as Over the shoulder shots.
