The concept of this project was to make a short film under 10 minutes that was in the horror genre. This was made in a team of 3, I co-directed it and edited it myself. The film was not to be taken too seriously, while still keeping the "horror" element of it with suspense. A small issue I face during the production was that we had limited actors, so I added myself as an actor to finish our project in an effective manner. I learned some editing methods while making it such as tracking and color correcting. In future projects I plan to tone down the coloring while still connecting with the mood of the film.

This is a Tik-tok styled video that was made to look like a trend while still being promotional in a way to the school. This trend is also used with other companies and brands so I thought it was a good idea to do it with out school's mascot. This project was filmed in a day and we had limited time as well, I think that we still managed to make something that is entertainable. I both directed and edited this video, I had never made anything in a 1080x1920 format, so I think this was a pretty good first impression. I think that if I had better clips that this would've flowed better, but overall I think this was a silly and rewarding project to work on.
This was an interview segment from our school's broadcast that was added to the people category of the news broadcast. I interviewed several students that were attending homecoming and asked them varying questions. A challenge I faced was that the first time I recorded the audio didn't record with the mic, but since we did several interviews, we did not need that recording. I was able to use my interviewing skills during this projects and I also did the editing for it. I really enjoy doing the interviewing part in projects and I'm good and improvising for questions and answers. This project taught me how engaging to be in future interviews and how to edit them.
This was another interview segment this time in the Senior spotlight category. We interviewed several students from the school and asked them what their future plans for college was. A challenged I came across was regarding the audio. At first, the music was too loud compared to the base audio, I then went back to after effects and adjusted it so that you could clearly hear the people that are interviewed as well as the background music at the same time. I both edited and filmed this video, allowing me to further use my skills in interview newscast making. This video taught me to pay more attention to editing the audio and the effect it has on the viewer's experience.
