H&M Media Frenzy!

For those of you who don't know social media was on overdrive with the new collection of hoodies from clothing company H&M. one of the hoodies they released were on a little black boy and read "Coolest Monkey In the Jungle".

My Crew and I decided to hit the yard and ask students of South Carolina State University their views on this breaking News!

New Book Alert

Over the break I read George Jackson "Soledad Brother" . 

I've been wanting to read this book for the longest, so I decided to read it during my long needed vacation from school.

The story itself was mind blowing and is still painfully relevant to this very nation today!

With every page I turned I was pulled into the story even more.

I would really recommend this book to any race so that they could see that the same systematic racism still exist.

George Jackson letters filled me with all kinds of emotions, Anger most of all.  May his knowledge and powerful voice continue to sore through oppression. 

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
