Newscast Final

Quick Takes

Midterm Challenge

For midterm, we were given the challenge to create a video to commemorate the completion of the pedestrian bridge here at SC State. The bridge is located over Chestnut street and is a great way for students staying in University Village and Campus Corner. Professor Harwood provided us with clips of the construction and ending ceremony to create a 30 second "Congratulations SC State" video.

Sequence Shots

This video is focused on capturing the action sequence shots. You typically see these shots in a lot of movies and as b- roll in television. We had to record shots of our classmates walking out of the Communications building. In this vide, we have Iris Gadsden as my star.

"I'm Ready For My Close Up."

In production, the right lighting is always important. In my Advanced TV Production class we worked with lighting and the different aspects of lighting in video. The subject used for my examples is my classmate Iris Gadsden.

Key Light 

This type of light is the primary light during an interview.

Positioned behind the interviewer's shoulder, it is placed 

opposite to the camera. The job for this light is to 

illuminate the subject's face.

Back/Hair Light

This type of light illuminates the space behind the subject's 

head so that the subject stands out of the background. Bring 

extra attention to the subject and puts spotlight on them.

Side/Fill Light

The side/fill light is to fill in the shadows created by the key 

light. Its purpose is to make sure that the light is even across 

the subject's face.

DIY Video Final Project

For the final project in my Advanced TV and Editing class, I chose to do a DIY video. My DIY video is on how to dye your hair. I was correcting my blue black dye from a week or so prior because I had two Wiz Khalifa patches in the front. It is mostly a visual video because the dye I used a dye that had different directions for different results. But basically start with clean dry hair then mix the color with volume 10 developer (2 parts color to 1 part bleach). Mix then apply and wait designated time before washing out. Simple and easy by my account. I mean I have dyed my hair 2 times prior.
