Video project
Reflection
The independent art project three of us embarked on was a video presenting the amazing body and talents of myself. We had created this video showing ridiculous and wicked videos demonstrating a spoof of body building. Throught our independent art project we had developed many more skills opposed to those learned in freshman year. We had experimented with different video frame shots and angles to make our video more interesting. While incorporated a range of dialogue and action shots we had made a film worth remembering. I as the actor had not learned developed many skills to use while making a film but I had been able to grow as an actor and be myself while portraying a douchey bodybuilder. Even though I had didn’t grow to much with my skills behind the camera we as a group learned that in order to make a film like this we all had to work together to bring a wide variety of ideas to the table to appeal to everyone.
Teacher Creature Project
During this project one struggle I had was how to blend the color of each photo I put onto the actual final picture. I had struggles with this because I had no idea how to change the colors and shades for different photos. I had gotten over this challenge by asking Roxy to show me different features which would help me move toward the direction I was going for. She obviously did not just do the changing of color for me but she did show me how and then I could experiment with what I learned to help me blend the photos to match the background.The style that I was using for my teacher creature project was to try and make thing as random as possible. Throughout my project I had just added random figures and creature to make it more eye popping and fun to look at for the most part.
