Web Final Reflection

In the Beginning….

         I was horrified of coming into the class and having no friends-a typical high schooler worry- but luckily I had Kaylee and Tori. I walked in on the first day and found my friends and sat at the tables to begin the problems of burning eyes from staring at computer screens for a long time.  The first project we did was on Text Mate where I learned and refreshed my coding skills.  It was helpful to refresh my forgotten coding from the summer. Later in the first quarter we began working on Dreamweaver. We transferred our Text Mate knowledge over to Dreamweaver to advance our skills.           

The Between…

It was good to work in Dreamweaver because this is what professionals use and it gives us a “real life” experience. One of my biggest struggles of this class was remembering all the past coding information form freshman year and implementing it into this year’s projects. I have gotten better at problem solving on my own, but I still make stupid mistakes that I overlooked. My knowledge of HTML coding has blossomed and is more advanced, but still mediocre.
            Although, I am not going into Web Design next year I can use this knowledge in the future, such as college, if I change my mind or want to begin a blog. I can manipulate coding myself and customize my website into my own.  I definitely need to work on my time management skills because I have gone overtime on my projects that end up being late. I have big ideas, but cannot always achieve them or perfect them in my time frame. For example, my Past Present and Future project was supposed to look like a film reel, but it did not turn out as well as I wanted or imagined. My transitions were not how I wanted them and the front was just a poor choice overall. I can definitely turn that experience and knowledge and use it in a future project to improve.

Farewell…


            This was a good year for me. I have slowly come out of my hermit shell, but I still go in there quite a lot. I have discovered that Georgia is my favorite classy font. Mr. Olson, shout out to you, because you are the best teacher around and bomb af (please don’t dock points for af). I will miss sitting in the dark room and just chilling and doing my thing in here. I will always be shocked when I see this room in full light.  Web Design will always be one of my best classes.

My Logo

Image
My logo is a fake coffee shop I would create. It's called After Midnight Cafe because it would be for the night dwellers who stay up late and like to have a place to go. The dark blue almost black represents the night sky. It is supposed to be calming and peaceful for the customers. I chose this font because it has a nice look that is not too serious but still professional.

AB Sequence

Image
In the  AB Sequence project I learned that you use almost all the same components as the 6 shot sequence. The only difference is that there are 2 sets of of 6 shot sequences and a few in between shots. In my next project I will try to incorporate different angles instead of the same angles each time. When I incorporate different angles it will make my video look more interesting. In a collaboration you combine two or more things together to creae one whole thing.  In this project you had to combine two 6 shot sequences with some extra shots in between to create one video. Having a partner also requires collaboration. We had to work together and use two activities of her choice and combine the clips into one video.

Semester Reflection

Looking Back... At the beginning of the year I was terrified because I did not know who everyone was and I thought I was going to be a loner. I became friends with Sydney and Mallory which helped. We have been doing convergence journalism, in my opinion, it sucks. I think entertainment will be better.  The projects we have done are: basic procedure, an audio story, an ONW now feature story, a report on the school blood drive, and out ONW Now segment. The key invent of this semester was Allam getting fired. It really messed up the flow of the class because the sub knew nothing, I personally did not enjoy her company, and everyone was confused about what to do. The other key event was producing the ONW Now show. It was kind of stressful having to plan things out and make sure everything got finished. I did enjoy my group, we worked smoothly. The class did not have enough computers for everyone so someone had to use the teacher's, but a student left the class so a free compute...
