5 Frame Storyboard

November 5, 2014

Tell me about your idea for your 5 frame story board. What is the plot? How do you plan to make the story creative? Who's the main character? What is the beginning, middle and end? Tell me about your plan of attack.

My idea is to set up a scene that involves Maddie Newell and Whitney Sherraden. I'm going to set up the plot so that Maddie has an airhead and Whitney steals it from her. Then Maddie will be really angry with Whitney, but Whitney will just be laughing really hard. That is the sequence of the stories and events that I'm going to split up into five steps. I plan to make this creative by editing my pictures and having two main characters and a definite conflict. I have talked to both Maddie and Whitney and we are going to be taking the pictures after I finish this post. The best part is that I actually get to eat the airhead!

Yesterday you edited and uploaded photos to your blog. Tell me more about your photos. HOW did you edit them? Why did you choose the photos that you did? Explain your assignment.

My photos had a diverse range of subjects and were a lot of fun to take; however, when it came to editing them and making them seem professional I felt some what inexperienced. I used Photoshop and played around a lot with the saturation. I liked to also mess with the brightness because I felt it really made the colors stand out and pop. I chose the photos that I did because I felt that they all had intense pops of colors that drew the eye to them and made the viewer feel excited. I really enjoyed the scavenger hunt assignment because it felt like the most creative thing we have done in class up to this point, and I really got to put my own spin on these images. In terms of editing I think I still have a lot to learn, but I did enjoy trying to garner some of the basic skills!

How was your weekend?

My weekend was really fun. Halloween has always been in my top three favorite holidays along with Christmas Eve, and thanksgiving. For Halloween I went dressed up as spider-girl; I had a spiderweb bow, a spider-man shirt, and a tutu that i made by myself. I learned to make the tutu from a tutorial on YouTube. On the night of Halloween I went to a football game at Liberty North that was costume themed and then I spent time at Derek's aunt's house! The next day I saw two movies: Nightcrawler and St. Vincent. Nightcrawler was really suspenseful and good, while St. Vincent was Hilarious and heartfelt. On Sunday I spent time with my best friend just watching movies and talking. All in all, I had a pretty great weekend.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I don't honestly know a lot about photography or photo editing! My sister once took a photography class and I was her model, but in terms of operating and editing the photos I am not very advanced. Typically when I take a photo it is on my iPhone. I usually edit my pictures or put a filter on them on instagram to make them  look better. I think that photography is really interesting, but have never had a real opportunity to get involved with it. I think using a nice camera would be really fun and there are several things/people I would be interested in getting pictures of. In terms of editing I am not at all advanced with the software. I have an app called aviary on my phone to fix lighting, but other than that I usually just put on an instagram or twitter photo filter and call it good. I would love to learn more about this though!
