AB Sequence


My partner for the AB sequence project was Tyler Harvey. We started off by making a storyboard. In the storyboard, we thought about different ways to implement different camera angles. Tyler and I had different ideas for the video. He wanted our video to be about going to the cafeteria and I wanted the video to be about going to the Library. We finally decided to make a video about going to the library. Point A was the e9 room and Point B was the library. After we finished the storyboard, we checked out some equipment so we could record. Tyler and I had no idea how to use a tripod but we eventually learned. I was the actor and he was the camera man. After recording, we began the editing process. While editing, I tried to make it look like I never stopped walking between shots. It was one, long, continuous, walk to the library. On the last clip, there was a woman watching me to the side of the video, so I had to crop that out.

"How to Print" Process





First we made the storyboard. All we did was imagine the steps on how to print a document, and draw someone doing those steps. Next, we established the angles for each shot. For example, the hallway scene was a Extreme Wide Shot taken from along the wall. The shot was taken from along the wall to make diagonal lines.

Before we began recording, we decided that I would be the actor. The video starts with a title slide saying, "How to Print." This helped me reach 30 seconds and it let the viewers know what the video will be about. While editing, I sped up the typing scene by a little bit, so it wouldn't last too long. I also cropped a few scenes during the editing process.

We used an iPad as the camera to record. We also had a tripod that we used to keep the recording less shaky. I personally don't see anything very noticeably bad with our video. I would've liked to make the title screen a bit shorter and the ending scene a bit longer, but other than that, it was fine. The camera angles and editing were decent, and the acting was OK. Something I can take away from this project for future projects is the recording and camera angles. I didn't learn much about the editing process in this project, but I did learn a lot more about recording.
