Social Media Awareness

We read an article today in class we read an article about social media awareness. It talked about how some colleges look at applicants social media pages in order to see if they are the type of person they want to accept into their college. If a students media page is the reason they don't get accepted, they don't get to know that, which I think is unfair. Colleges also don't take they time to find out if they got the right social media page, so they may be basing your acceptance on an account that isn't even your's.

From this article, I learned that I need to be more safe with whatever I post, tweet, snap, pin etc., and make sure the content I have posted is the type of person I want colleges to see me as. If you wouldn't post it with your grandma watching, you shouldn't post it at all.

Elevator Pitch

     An elevator pitch is a carefully worded and short marketing message about yourself. It should be over in the time it takes to ride an elevator, hence the name.

     My name is Amber Morgan; I am an e-Communication student at ONW. I have strong creative ability, and great leadership skills. I am often complimented on my artistic ability and interpersonal skills. I’m looking to gain knowledge about all of the branches in e-Comm, and to see if I have a potential in any of these areas of study later in life.

Chase Scene

     For our chase scenes, we worked in groups of threes. We had to, as the title explains, film a video of someone chasing someone else for whatever reason. We started with coming up with our idea for the scene, drawing up the storyboard, filming and editing. 

     I gained a better understanding of the axis line, and how to work together to meet a deadline.

     If I was to to this project again, I would add audio and take more time filming so it didn't seem so rushed. I enjoyed working with my friends to complete the project.

Technical Blog

          The six shot system is basically the six different shots you can use to shoot a film. 50% of all shots should be close ups or extreme close ups.

An extreme wide shot/establishing shot is what typically gives the viewer the location of the film.

 

A wide shot shows the entire object or human figure.

Medium shots show the figure waist up.

 Close ups show the figure shoulders up.

Extreme close ups show just a certain part of a figure.

Over the shoulder shots (pretty self explanatory) are shot over the figure's shoulder.

A to B film

     We had to work together with one of our classmates to make a film of someone walking from point A to point B. We first drew out our storyboard, film it using the rule of thirds and all six shots, and then edit it using Adobe Premiere Pro. 

     From this project, I gained a better understanding of the rule of thirds and the axis line, as well as interpersonal skills like working with someone you don't already know.

     If I was going to do this project again, I would edit the audio better, but I would keep the outline of our story the same.
