#S22E16 The Out On The Streets Episode

In my Advanced Television Production course we were given an assignment to go around campus and ask students a question. I decided to ask students "If you could only listen to one album by your favorite artist for the rest of your life what would that album be and why." Even though I did not put all of the responses in the video majority of the students agreed that J. Cole was their favorite artist and they had a difficult time narrowing down their life to just one album by the artist. 

Post production for the project was fairly simple. Locating the video clips, adding the titles, and transitions were all pretty self explanatory however the actual filming of the video took some time and needs lots of work. 

Filming in the day time and having to know and understand how to adjust the camera's focus, lighting, and white balance is not as simple as it seems. With the sun constantly going in and out as a videographer you really have to know and understand how to operate a camera. 

I enjoyed this project and hope to redo it again with more knowledge of how to operate the camera. 

#S22E09 The Stepping Stones To Success Episode

Trying to chose a career path can be difficult for some. For me it was a bit challenging until I decided to continue my hobbies of interacting with people across the world through digital media. From the tender age of 11 I began creating my own personal website and playing with different settings and gadgets. Initially it was for my own personal use as I did not have very many visitors on my site
By age 14 I began to delve more into my hobby as I created my own webpage for a very successful television show. Below is a Prezi of my digital portfolio showing some of my works as I have contributed to the mass media world through digital media.  

#S22E06 The Green Screen Episode

Before

 Today in class we were able to experiment with green screen! I now have much respect for those who are advance users of this amazing tool because lighting, shadows, angles, distance, and more importantly patience is the key to obtaining a great green screen manipulated photo or video. 

Initially I wanted to pose in front of Viacom's Headquarters however the pose that I chose did not really fit the picture that I had, therefore I played around and found a more fitting photo which is of Tyler Perry Studios which is my second dream job. I have dreams and aspirations of becoming a Television Programming Director of a major network and why not start here with a little inspiration while being at South Carolina State University where I am obtaining my undergraduate degree.

After

After much trial and error and patience I was able to fit myself over the background of Tyler Perry Studios and add the title of Executive Producer. I plan to continue to research how to clean up my mistakes and make my green screen effects more realistic. Can't wait to continue to play with this tool.
