Three Shot Sequences

Sequencing is a series of three shots that are short. Sequencing is usually used in videos and make it a little more interesting. If taking great sequencing shots than you are using different angles to get a different perspective. When using sequencing try to get a little more creative than just one simple angle or one part of something. For example, when using sequencing on two people arguing try to get a wide shot of the the setting. Then, get a nice medium shot of the person's head talking to the other person. Finally get a good solid shot of the lips moving. Sequencing is a very important thing to learn in visual story telling or anything that occurs sequncing because it will help you get a really nice and interesting video.

Polar Panoramas

 Here are two of my finished polar panoramas. I first looked up the site about the process of creating a polar panorama before I decide where I would like my polar panorama to be. Then captured 10-15 interesting photos that also have to have a 10-15% of overlapping to the very next photo. After making the photos more bright and beautiful in Adobe Bridge I opened them in Photoshop. Using the PhotoMerge tool in Photoshop it automatically developed my Panorama.

First, I warped the panorama and made fit comfortably in the shape of a square and then cropped it. I rotated the square exactly 180 degrees and added the filter, Polar Coordinates. I finally had my own little world that I had just created; all I needed to do was edit the Polar Panorama. To make this perfect I erased most of the seam by applying the stamp and blur tool. I finally added my portrait photo to the Polar Panorama.

Practice Story Reflection

My team and I are currently working on a project in  GT. This project is a video project, it contains us to make an interview on someone in our group and share about a specific topic related to them. This project results us having to take footage of our interviewee which is our teammate Kasiah doing her topic. We had to tape the interview, record b-roll footage of her doing the topic, sequencing, and putting it all in Final Cut Pro to make it look very professional.

On the way to success we ran into a couple of problems. One problem was that the kids that were in the back were just constantly talking and would not be quiet so that was a real downer. Another challenge we had was the lighting, because we were out in the field and the sun was to bright so it was in kasiah's face and she couldn't see where she was going. Our final problem was the b-roll we didn't get enough b-roll for the interview so it looked like a real boring interview.

I think that my team could have worked a little harder on certain areas on the interview project and we could have communicated better with each other better. The team did a pretty good job and I think we can accomplish more things if we just stick our heads to the job.
