My Visual Poem

NiitsuO VisualPoem from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.
My poem was about expression and expressing your self. At first I just Wanted express myself with the poem and the visuals and just film and say random things that I felt like saying. After realizing that I wasn't aloud to do that I did my poem on expression it self. I felt my visuals didn't really make an impact. I forgot to check out a camera twice so Two of my b-roll shots didn't make any sense but I had to use them. The first b-roll shot that didn't make sense was when I was messing around and filmed the lock on the door to our classroom.

The Experiment

The experiment was a new thing too our class. Being new to specifically the returning GT students because our teacher Mr. Sanderl would guide us through every step when doing things in class last year. With the experiment though we had a chance to express ourselves in photoshop freely without being told what to do which I personally enjoyed very much. As you can see above my amazing drawing of stuff was created with no help at all although I would consider returning GT students as myself to be cheaters because we kinda already know how to work photoshop but I'm sure it was fun for the new people.

Five Tips For

Our team chose to do skateboarding. Of course the one skating is me. The reason we chose skating is because skating is really cool, its easy to film and we didn't have any better ideas. But we could have done better with the footage, we needed me doing a kick flip in more places than just one or two. We also could have got me doing a kick flip off a set of stairs. All together though we did pretty well.

Composition Techniques

     COMPOSITION TECHNIQUES

     The four main composition techniques are rule of thirds, framing, close up, and unusual angles. These composition techniques are very use full and important for professional storytelling.
Composition techniques can bring interest and meaning to the story. Without composition techniques movies would be dull and boring. There are other techniques that can help visual storytelling but these four main techniques are the most helpful and important.

Polar Panoramas

These are two polar panoramas that I made. I created these by taking at least 10-15 photos of a location with a nice horizon line. I took the photos while circling around 360 degrees overlapping each photo 10-15 percent. All the photos that had to be vertically oriented in order for it to look good.  I then merged the photos together using photoshop. After merging the photos together it created a regular panorama, I saved the panorama then changed its size to 5000 by 5000. Once that was done I clicked polar coordinates  in photoshop and I was done!

Spherical Panoramas

I created this spherical panorama by taking 10-15 pictures while spinning around 360 degrees. After that I edited the photos in adobe bridge. Then I transferred the photos from adobe bridge to photoshop. I took my already photo merged panorama from finder and resized it to 500 by 500.
Lastly I hit polar coordinates and Im done!

Three Shot Sequences!

     A three shot sequence is a sequence of three shots. A three shot sequence usually consists of a wide a medium and a close shot. Sometimes the close shot is an extremely close shot! Sequencing can be helped with certain techniques. These techniques include framing leading lines and contrast of content. Without three shot sequencing movies would be boring.

Final Photomontage

I created this awesome photomontage by taking twenty pictures editing them in adobe bridge and then by putting them together in photoshop.

My inspiration for these came from David Hockney.

Magizine Cover

I created this magazine cover with the help of my teacher Mr. Sanderl at KMS. The drawing in the back is a contour drawing that took a lot of time and effort that I painted and outlined myself.
