For our G.T. project we had to do a project called "Elder Words of Wisdom". My group, Sheila and Kaylene , and I had to find someone that we knew who could possibly have some words of wisdom that he or she cold pass on to our class. We decided that Sheila's old karate Sensei Edmund Acoba would be perfect because he was also a Judge, and so he would be able to tell us how he manages to have two jobs. Before we were going to film our interview and b-roll we had to first create a story board which has all our interview questions, what we were going to film, ect. It took a while to finish our storyboard because we had to know where we were going to film and what we wanted to film. In the end we decided to go and film Mr. Acoba while he was teaching his karate class. Sheila and I only had to take one day to film because we filmed the b-roll and interview at once. I also had to do a voice-over for the interview. Kaylene edited our video like she always does.

In my G.T. class we had to do a "Five Tips" video and we decided to do our video and "Five Tips For Living Healthy". In my group was Sheila , Kaylene , and Kaya. We used this topic because it was easy enough to film it all at school. Our five tips were to exercise more often, meditating, eating healthy, relaxing, and getting more sleep. I think that we could have made sure there was no more camera movement. Also we could have done the voice over so it was more clear to make our video better.

In our project my group, Kaylene Iloreta and Sheila Blum, decided to interview Edmund Acoba who is a fifth circuit family court judge as well as a Karate sensei. We wanted to find out how hard it is to manage two different jobs. And what better place to interview him than where he was actually teaching a class. Now why would we do this? Why him?  Well, Sheila took a karate class about a year ago and thats how we knew him. Also we wanted people to know that it might be very difficult, but its possible to manage two different jobs. For our interview we had to make sure there was no background noise to mess up the interview. We also had to make sure our interview shot was rule of thirds, and we had to be able to see his whole face. B-roll was another important part of our interview. We wanted to get video of Edmund teaching his class. While shooting we used the basic three shot sequence, wide, medium and close. Our team works pretty good together, but I think maybe we could plan b...

For our practice story my class had to divide into groups of three. The purpose of this practice story was to give us practice for when we did our real interview. We needed practice on adding b-roll and voice overs. My group consisted of Kaylene Iloreta , Sheila Blum and myself. Our groups had to choose oneperson out of our group to do the interview on. We were already doing a new project we had just started in art and that made it easier to decide what to do our video about. They decided to interview me on art and why I take it in school and what I like about it. I didn't really want this video to be about me but Sheila nor Kaylene wanted to be on camera.

There are 14 different types of composition techniques. The main four are rule of thirds, framing unusual angles, and leading lines. Rule of thirds is when a photographer uses imaginary lines and places the points of interest on the lines. So the main subject therefore is off center. Using the rule of thirds adds interest to the shot. Framing is when you use a natural surrounding to frame your shot to make it more interesting. Unusual angles is when you shoot from a different angle like from below and shooting up or above and shooting down. Lastly, leading lines is when you use natural surroundings and have some sort of lines leading to your main subject.

   Most people use three shot sequencing to help create unique shots that add interest to any type of show. A sequence is a series of 3 camera shots that are usually following the rule of wide, medium, close, or extreme close. Each shot is usually about 10 seconds each. Sequencing also is a great way of showing an action. Sequencing also shows a lot more in a shorter amount of time so you can add more things.
