High School Film Trailer

Project

                For this project I was tasked with recreating a movie trailer of a high school based movie. My group was assigned the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". We had the option of which official trailer we wanted to recreate. After some research, my group found the most reasonable trailer to make and started pre-production.
                Before we could start filming, there were many steps to make sure we could recreate the trailer perfectly. Unfortunately, we found that it could not be directly replicated as there were many shots that we couldn't do. I started with creating a story board of every scene in the edited trailer. Then, as a team, we wrote down all costumes and props. Finally, we cast rolls and made sure people would be available before giving them the part officially. Our group decided to keep most of the casting inside the group but we did get two adults and two students we were not already working with to help. 
                To start filming, my group worked on all of the shots we could get inside of the high school. We used the art hall as an art museum, the track stands as a baseball arena, and a teachers room as the principle's office. Outside of school, we used Kate's house as a location to film the first scenes. 
                Along the way of the project, I learned it is incredibly hard to work around other people's schedules. Many times we had to reschedule times to film scenes because of jobs and homework. This experience has helped me gain responsibility of knowing my schedule so I can help the team when I am free, and it has taught me to make time in my schedule for important things such as group projects. This project has also taught me the importance of communication, because if you didn't let the team know you aren't able to film a certain day, they may plan on that and then you would let them down.
               Next project I will try to make more time in my schedule for filming and plan ahead. I did better at not waiting until the last minute this time but there is still room for improvement. I hope to get all the filming done in a week next project.
               In conclusion I am very happy with the outcome of the piece. We finished completely with almost all the shots. The only critic I would have for it is the music. Since we could not find the original song, we used some royalty free music that didn't fit very well. Next time I will make sure we have appropriate music. Other than that, I am proud of my team for creating and finishing this project.

My logo design

My Logo Design Process:  This project took time and energy. It had multiple steps in the process and had me create a large amount of different logos. The first step was to roughly sketch some ideas I had for the design. It took a couple days until I had an idea of what my logo could looks like. The next step was to bring everything sketched out onto Adobe Illustrator. Using the font myriad pro I edited the letters "ML" in different ways, and used recources such as the pen and curvature tools until I was happy with the way it looked.  After satisfied with the logo, I added different colors to see what it looked like in all styles. With editing, I found I liked the color on top of grey look. After top three choices were picked, I used an outline to see what each looked like as a final product.  Why I chose my logo: My final decision came to hot pink letters over a light grey circle and a very thin black outline. I chose...

CSS and CARP design

Introduction In this assignment I used the rules of CARP (contrast, alignment, repetition and proximity) to fix a generic html with a poem on it to make the newer, better looking, version of this page. Some differences included changing the text and background color to match the dog. I used the same colors for multiple areas on the page to make it look clean and the same all the way through. I also changed the size of text around the page it fit it better, and to wrap around the picture of the dog. Contrast Some differences referring to contrast included changing the text and background color to match the dog. I used the same colors for multiple areas on the page to make it look clean and the same all the way through. The darker brown text stood out against the light tan background. The black border around the page brought a neutral color that wasn't brown to the page, pulling the poem and other elements together. Alignment  To make the page aligned and flow all the...
