Intermediate Video
I ended up proposing an intermediate history video where I researched five of the most silly and funny history facts I could find. Looking back at my project, I ended up accomplishing a video where I discussed one of the history facts I found, the Emu War of 1932. I ended up adding a lot more pictures, than video of myself, which I didn’t envision at first.
I broke down the Emu War of 1932 (who won the war, who commanded the war, etc). The meaning of the story I told was to inform the audience about a cool and hysterical history fact, because I knew not everyone loved history, so I had to find innovative ways to reach out to a certain audience.
I learned how to flawlessly edit and clip together photographs, videos, and audio clips I found on Google and other search engines.
STRENGTHS: Some of the strengths of my work is my ability to explain the things I was talking about to where everyone could understand it, or at least in my opinion. Another strength was the edits I made; I thought they were proficient enough to captivate the audience.
WEAKNESSES: Some of the weaknesses I faced in my work was probably the fact that it took me so long to edit such small sections of a video; my work ethic would have definitely improved at the start of the editing process. Another weakness I faced in my work was probably recording the video of me talking; it looked too grainy, and made the video look like an average homemade TikTok.
Some of the challenges I faced with this long term product was definitely the internet. Whenever I tried to download pictures from Google, the internet would make the process 10x harder than it needed to be.
Different ways I would have improved my prou\duct would probably be to plan and execute better; I wasn’t necessarily bad, but could definitely improve. Also I could’ve come in and edited a lot more during AP.

For this assignment, we did double exposure portrait, in which we have our pictures taken and then incorporate another image into our face.
I think it is pretty neat how the clouds are interpreted for my hair, and the grass and rocks are interpreted for my hoodie.
The lighthouse on the side of my face, poking into my eye is also fairly neat.
HDR
HDR
So to make this HDR merged photograph, I had to take 3 pictures of something, one perfectly exposed, one underexposed, and another overexposed.
I ended up choosing the sunset because I felt like it would make a cool affect, which I feel stays true looking at this picture.
I uploaded 3 pictures to my Google Drive and put them in Adobe Photoshop, and let them merge the three pictures together.
Panorama
Panorama
To make this panorama, I had to take a minimum of 4 photographs and had to make sure they each cut off the last photographs border, which I felt like was fairly difficult in the moment, but turned out fairly well.
In Adobe Photoshop, I had to add these 4 photographs and let Photoshop merge them itself.
I really like how 1/4 of this photograph has a dark sky, and the rest is nice, clear and bright; I think it adds a cool contrast effect to this panorama.

The Lego Adventure
What did you propose to do for this project? What did you end up accomplishing on the final project? Explain additional work you added from your original idea if your proposal wasn’t ambitious enough for an extended project.
Well at first I proposed something a lot more complicated, but then watered the story down as I moved through scenes, because I am not rich like most of these people on YouTube are that made the lego stop motion videos I was inspired by, and of course there was a noticeable time crunch. (I am not making excuses, I am just explaining how I couldn’t adherently adapt to the storyboard)
I ended up accomplishing something I would say I am proud of, even though I could’ve easily done better, I just feel like I needed motivation to go “all out”.
Pretty much most of the later story is “additional work” I just made up in my head, as I didn’t want the story to be a snooze-fest, and I wanted to have fun doing this, and not be held to prior restrictions I made for myself.
Explain the content of your animation. What is the meaning or story you told?
The content of my animation basically consists of a slow, steadily paced story that turns morbid at the blink of an eye. So a cute, civilized lego couple is on a road trip, and starts hearing weird noises that make them feel uneasy; they stop to embrace themselves, as they’re a young couple, and as they get back in their van, the noises continue to complicate, and eventually a rocket ship crashed into their vehicle, which ends up exploding. The villain, the dad, and the baby survive, but the mother parishes. The villain steal the baby, but is then halted by the dad throwing a window at the rocket ship, which stops the villain in his tracks; they fall out of the sky, but as the baby is about to hit the ground, the dad comes to the rescue, and catches the baby, saving the day (little does he know his wife is dead).
Explain the skills you learned to make your animation.
Some of the skills I learned to make my animation is utilizing Adobe Premiere Pro, learning to be patient and setting up intricate, but usually simplified scenes (time crunch, and of course I was working on a budget).
Write a paragraph to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of your work.
Strengths: I think some of the best aspects of my project are things like independent working and achieving a finished product, that I can of course grow on.
Weaknesses: Some of the most evident weaknesses in my project are things like grainy pictures, contused white balance, and other small, but still significant aspects that are learning blocks for future projects.
What challenges did you face with this long term project? How might you improve your product on a future long term project?
Some of the most evident challenges I faced with this long term project was probably making sure all the photos aren’t grainy or blurry, and making sure things like white balance and ISO are all as perfect as I can make them.
I might improve my product for future long term projects by making sure every picture is concise in the fact that every element of the picture is proficient, and implementing new and better tactics to make sure my project is A-1.

Depth of Field: This photograph demonstrates shallow depth of field because of the channeling of focus on the clock, and the background appears blurry, which helps create focus on the clock.
Depth of Field: This photograph demonstrates large/wide depth of field because of the general view of the clock, and the kitchen, which is generally a lot more wider than the shallow depth of field.
Forced perspective: This photograph demonstrates forced perspective through the fact that my finger looks like it is going to come in contact with the hook on the ceiling, even though my finger is just in front of the camera, and not actually close to the hook.
ISO Comparison: This photograph demonstrates low ISO comparison through the dark appearance of the tree, and the overall graininess and dark hue to the picture.
ISO Comparison: This photograph demonstrates high ISO comparison through light green hue of the tree, and the fact that it is not even close to the level of graininess of the first picture of the tree.
This photograph demonstrates movement through the cycling of the ceiling fan, moving at a rapid rate of speed; this movement causes motion blur in the photo, which really sells the movement.
This photograph demonstrates movement through the waving of the flag, which also creates motion blur, which adds clear movement in this photograph.
This photograph demonstrates rhythm through the uprising stairwell, which repeats the same steps, (which creates rhythm of the steps) until we arrive to the top.
This photograph demonstrates rhythm through the frequency of the windows, which is repeated three times which creates frequent rhythm.
This photograph demonstrates symmetrical balance through the three light-switches, which is completely symmetrical and even throughout the whole photograph.
This photograph demonstrates symmetrical balance through the symmetry (even) in both sides of the oven.
This photograph demonstrates radial balance through the bars surrounding the focal point, the light bulbs.
This photograph demonstrates radial balance through the black and white contrasting colors, which made the photograph radial through the differentiating colors, which draw emphasis to the star in the middle of the photograph.
Unity:
Unity is created in this photograph through the repeated use of paper plates, which are all the same size, the same colors, and in the same pattern on the counter top.
Unity:
Unity is created in this photograph through the repeated use of the apples, which are in the same pattern, and use the same colors (red and yellow), which are on the same spectrum on the color wheel.
Variety:
Variety is created in this photograph through the juxtaposition of the plastic knives and forks, which happen to be different utensils.
Variety:
Variety is created in this photograph similarly to how it is used in the previous photograph with the utensils; it demonstrates juxtaposition, but also the color varies throughout each color pencil and pen.
Contrast:
Contrast is created in this photograph through the impeding of the syrup on the plates; the syrup, which is a lighter hue of brown, is a polar opposite of the plate, which is white, which gives a strong contrast towards the syrup.
Contrast:
Contrast is created in this photograph through the bright hue of the golden Christmas tree, which overlays the background, which a darker hue of brown, which really gives a strong contrast towards the Christmas tree.
Emphasis:
Emphasis is created in this photograph through the differentiating of stone and the star, which is integrated into the bricks.
Emphasis:
Emphasis is created in this photograph through the cat laying on the rug, which presents similar patterns throughout the whole rug, which gives a strong emphasis towards the cat, which is obviously not the rug.
In this photograph, lines are used by the continuity of the wood planks, which vertically stretch across the picture frame.
In this photograph, lines are used in the two horizontal planks of the wood, which is contrasted upon the ceiling; these lines could be used to create objectives like a focal point or draw emphasis to the subject matter, which doesn't happen in this photograph, but there is still a clear presence of lines.
In this photograph, Shape/form is used through the sort of pentagon shaped window, which draws emphasis towards the window screen.
In this photograph, Shape/form is used through the repeating square shapes, which is contrasted against a calm, white background.
In this photograph, Texture is used through the sparkly Christmas tree ornament, which sparkles in the midst of the lights presented by the Christmas tree lights.
In this photograph, Texture is used through the impeding of bubbles on the water, which gives off an impression of texture, by the fact that bubbles have a unique texture.
I used color in this photo through the rainbow pattern I made in these color pencils. These colors correlate with each other because I lined them up like they are in the rainbow.
Aperture: 6.3
Shutter Speed: 1/100
WB: Auto
ISO: 1600
I used color in this photo through the color pallete i extracted. All of these colors are warm colors, consisting of reds, oranges, and yellows. I think they do a good job at relaying a autumn mood to this picture, considering its autumn right now.
Aperture: 5
Shutter Speed: 1/50
WB: Tungsten
ISO: 1600
I used negative space in this photo through the trees which appear dark through the sunset. The sunset gives the trees a contrasting look, which highlights the trees perfectly, and is a good example of using negative space.
Aperture: 5
Shutter Speed: 1/8
WB: Auto
ISO: 800
I use negative space in this photo similarly how I use it in the previous photo. The dark blue hue of the sky gives the tree branches a dark appearance, and really highlights, which makes the sky negative space.
Aperture: 3.5
Shutter Speed: 1/8
WB: Shade
ISO: 1600
I used pattern in this photo through the repetition of the horseshoes as they slowly progress in quantity; the space between the ladder steps also demonstrate pattern.
Aperture: 3.5
Shutter Speed: 1/5
WB: Auto
ISO: 1600
I used pattern in this photo through the repetition of Pepsi logos and the stacking of the cans (also the window panes in the background could also count as using pattern, even though I never intended for it to do that.)
Aperture: 4
Shutter Speed: 1/40
WB: Auto

I used food photography and I was inspired by artist Henry Hargreaves in his food design and style.
Aperture: 5
Shutter Speed: 1/6

ISO: 6400
I used food photography and I was inspired by Henry Hargreaves in his perspective of the subject matter and composition in his work.
Aperture: 5.7
Shutter Speed: 1/32
WB: Tungsten
ISO: 6400
I used food photography and was inspired by Henry Hargreaves by again his perspective as he takes most of his photos above the subject, so I was greatly inspired by his technique.
Aperture: 5.7
Shutter Speed: 1/16
WB: Tungsten
ISO: 6400
This photograph is slightly different from the others, as I am photographing a drink instead of food. In this photograph I was inspired by another food photographer, Andrew Scrivani, in movement he implements in his subject matter.
Aperture: 5
Shutter Speed: 1/6
WB: Tungsten
ISO: 6400
I used food photography in this photograph through the bowl of Cheerios and I was inspired through Henry Hargreaves by his perspective and his unique use of photography when taking portraits of food.

In this picture the apple fills almost the entire frame, highlighting the focus of the apple.
In this picture the piano keys fill up the frame, highlighting the focus of the keys, and their intensity.
In this picture the dictionary fill up the frame, highlighting it's significance upon a barely visible background.
In this picture the candle fills up primarily the whole frame. The fact that it fills up the frame highlights its significance, and helps create amore clearer subject matter.
In this picture the Elton John Pop Figure primarily fills up the whole frame, indicating its significance among the background, which is fairly plain, compared to the extravagant nature of the Pop Figure.
Camera Angles
The subject in my photograph, the cat, is presented at the highest point of the photograph, and manifests a feeling of dominance over the viewer.
The subject in my photograph, myself, is presented at being looked down on, which indicated I am the inferior person in this photograph.
The subject in my photograph, the two cats, is presented as being looked down upon, which represents a sign of the cats being minute, showing their lack of significance as a subject.
The subject in my photograph, again myself, is being looked down upon by the viewer, which indicates a sign of being inferior.
The subject in my photograph, my dog, is being looked down upon, which indicates a sign of being inferior to the viewer. Plus the fact that he is sleeping also helps the fact.
The Rule of Thirds is basically where you make a grid with usually nine imaginary squares which basically helps you balance the objects in frame.
The focal point of the statue with the two kids with the American flag is located near the top right of my photo, where the subject matter intersects with the Rule of Thirds rule.
The focal point is the cat in the top right of my photo, which intersects with the Rule of Third method.
The focal point of my photograph is the pink flower, which intersects with the Rule of Thirds method at the top right of my photo.
The focal point in is the cat at the top right of my photo, which intersects with the Rule of Thirds method.
The focal point is the 'family' sign, which intersects with the Rule of Thirds method.
