Blog Assignment 2

Pitch, Budget, Timeline

The storyboard idea works well.  It lets you put your ideas down and make changes.  I do not believe that it is always necessary, but it can be helpful when you are trying to decide on how you want things to proceed.

The Pitch

For my final project I am creating a story.  The story will be about traveling.  It will be filled with photos, narrative, and sounds when applicable. It always amaze me when I see so many people have never left the state they live in.  I have been to several countries and went on a cross country driving trip on the east coast from N.Y. to Houston.  It was a two week trip and we had many adventures along the way.  I think it will be quite interesting for others to see that there is more to the world then the neighborhood grocer.

The Budget

I have to spend no more than much of my time organizing and putting everything together.  I have the software and the pictures already.  The cost of doing such traveling is in the thousands actually, but that is not included.  I believe it is such a wonderful experience to see other cultures not only in other countries but here in our own.

THE TIMELINE:

March 8 – Have the story outlined and go through the pictures and get any that I am missing.

March 22 – Have it all laid out and the story written

April 6 – Have everything ready to go and run it by my wife for corrections.

Due Date- Turn in after all corrections are done.  This step may take longer depending on how many changes that my wife may suggest.  It is something that she is very picky on.

Sea/Ocean

Our favorite place to go and relax.  I call it an ocean, my wife calls it the sea.  The dictionary says they are interchangeable.

Project Flowchart

This is idea for my new website.  I was going to use it as my project for this class but not sure about how much time it will take to complete. The home page will direct to the different sections.  There will be menus for easy access.  The first section is Purchases and services.  It will use the rule of thirds guidelines so that everything is perfectly placed.  I will also use close-ups of the electronics for sale.  By using close-ups the customer can see exactly what they are purchasing.  I will use look space in the videos.  I will also use the law of proximity in both my videos and my photos so they will understand the grouping.  When appropriate I will use tilted horizontal line.  I will also use symmetry because balance is very important in both photos and film.   In some instances it will be very important to use extra close-up.  This will be an asset in putting something back together due to sometimes in a phone for instance the screws are so tiny.  Of course sometimes it will be important to use medium shots when I want to get a farther away view but not to far in that case would use long shots.  If i needed and even wide shot then I can use wide shot. It would also be important to use Leadspace when appropriate for the shot.  From my reading I came to a better understanding of photography and film.  I never realized before how much work and thinking goes into every shot.
