Website research

The colors for this website really stand out, however, the navbar for the site takes up much more space than anything else on the page. Also, when you click on the different types, a paragraph pops out rather than changing to a new page.

I liked this page because it was not distracting, it seemed very informative. The navbar seemed to work as well as the colors.

The reason I chose these colors is because I believe that they can offset each other in a background or foreground. With one of the colors being bright and the other two being neutral, it really stands out.

Movie Poster Project

For this movie poster, I wanted to take all of the elements that we learned in class in order to make a cheesy type of production poster (literally). After going over what the class said as feedback, I realized that for this poster, the maccaroni as the entire background worked better because it made the foreground stand out. I chose the angles and fonts in order to draw attention, yet stay simple enough so that they were not overwhelming. I think I accomplished what I was trying to do with the colors, angles and fonts.

How To Make Easy Mac

In an instructional how to video, I felt that the best way to edit the video were short clips that showed exactly what the person were to be doing in that particular step. I used jump cuts in order to do this. Before each different step, I inserted a title card in order to inforce what that particular step was.
I chose the colors and the layout in order to compliment the food that I used in the video. I felt they grabbed the attention of the viewer. The music also set an upbeat mood that will keep the attention of the viewer during the whole video. I think that happier music during a "How To:" video will keep it from getting boring, or being too serious.

Wallet Thief

I chose to use the particular shots in order to show the supspense of waiting for the thief to strike. I used to wide angle shot of the scene in order to show that dramatic effect. I used to close up of the face to show the intensity of the clothesline hit. It showed the reaction on his face perfectly for the shot. I then cut back to the wide angle shot to show the reactions and quick running of the people around the scene. The music was meant to give more of a dramatic feel to the scene.
