Final Project

For my Final project we were told to do a promo video or another picture in picture video for 30 to 60 seconds video. I choose to do another picture in picture video because I really enjoyed the assignment and I wanted to incorporate my favorite person in the world which is my little cousin Indya who we call "pop" in the family dancing. I edited the Video in Adobe Premiere

Team Studio Recording

For my team studio recording project my classmates and I decided to a sports segment. My two anchors were Stephen Mason and Marshall Padgett. I took on the role as the producer/director and made sure everything went smooth sailing in the production room which included working the tricaster and the sound board.  Working behind the scene was very exciting and I look Forward to doing it again!!

Picture in Picture Project

I decided to do my project on my favorite artist and all around favorite human being Erykah Badu. The video you'll see is window seat which was a very controversial video and centered around the ideal of Group think and what happens when you go against. I edited my project on adobe premiere.

I really enjoyed this project!

Four Classic Lighting Techniques!

This was by far the most fun exercise thus far. For the four classic lighting assignment I took shots of my classmate Stephen Mason. The first shot was the Rembrandt or the 45 degree angle shot
                   

The second shot was the split or 90 degree angle  to the side of the face.

The third shot was Broad lighting 

and the fourth shot was the butterfly lighting 

Three point Lighting

Our next class assignment revolved around  "three point lighting" 

The Three Point Lighting Technique is a standard method used in visual media such as video, film, still photography and computer-generated imagery. It is a simple but versatile system which forms the basis of most lighting

we took shots with the Key light,Fill light only, backlight only, and wide view shot with all lights on

Here's the shots I took of Naheka and Victaveous 

Techniques to Better Light

For our class assignment Professor Harwood led us outside to take three photos with our cell phone. the first image was a picture with the natural light behind us.

The next image we took was with another person holding a reflector up to improve the lighting 

Heres a look at the process.

Chestnut Street Pedestrian Bridge

Such a great day to be a bulldog at SCSU!

The Pedestrian bridge is on the way!

The bridge will cross Chestnut Street at Reid Street near University Village. The ramp system will tie down to the existing sidewalk located adjacent to the parking lot and tennis court on S.C. State’s campus.

This alone will give students better access to the campus instead of crossing through traffic.

Sequence Video

For a class assignment Professor Hardwood asked for us to shoot a sequence video with our fellow class mates. I chose my classmate Stephen Mason to star in my sequence video. The assignment it self was really fun and I was glad I was able to get more experience with editing and working the camera.

One of the biggest issues I experienced was the bad lighting in the building and also my tripod gave me minor issues. Overall I believe it was a success and i'm looking forward to more hands on assignments.


Here's a look at the sequence video that Stephen Mason shot of me and also edited it with Adobe Premiere.

Aftermath Of The Election

For a class assignment we were asked to interview students around SCSU campus on their thoughts of our new president Donald Trump. 

Many students were not pleased with the ideal and couldn't believe that this was now a reality for every citizen of the USA. Here's what they had to say!
