Final Panoramas


Here are some of my final panoramas that I have created in my G.T. class. In the picture above is the panorama that I made out of school. In the panorama we have the light house in Lihue by the harbor. We also see the beautiful ocean and the mountains in the background. Below is a panorama that I made in my G.T. class. I took this panorama at my school, Kapa'a Middle School. For both of the panoramas, we had to take a 360 degree circle taking 10-15 vertical pictures. Then we went in adobe bridge and camera raw to edit the pictures. After that, we went into photoshop and merged all of the photos together which became these awesome and amazing panoramas.

Three Shot Sequences

Three shot sequences are shots of images that are in an order of sequencing with a long or a wide shot, a medium shot, and a close up or extreme close up shot. Many people use this technique, or skill, to grab interest to the viewer. It helps the viewer to understand what is going on. In all of the shots, they all have different angles when taken. The wide shot is the one that shows the setting, place, and the subject. The medium shot has the subject closer and shows what the subject is doing in a feeling that the viewer is right there. Lastly the close up or extreme close up shot is the closest shot of the three, it gives the viewer an even more feeling that it is right there and is about to touch the subject. Here are some examples of a three shot sequence.

Polar Panoramas

These are some of my examples of polar panoramas that I have created in my G.T. class.


In my G.T. class we had a project that was to make our own little worlds. It was called Polar Panoramas. To make this we had to first, choose a great spot to take pictures that had an interesting horizon line. Then, we had to make the horizon line straight and move in a 360 degree circle taking vertical shots with all pictures overlapped. After that we uploaded, edited, and organized photos in Adobe Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw. Then we started resizing and rotating the photos in a perfect square. After that, we flipped the photos upside down by going up to the menu options, image> image rotation> rotate 180 degree. Then the last step was to go up to the option menu and go filter> distort> Polar Coordinates & Edit! My little world looks so cool!

Practice Story Reflection

In G.T. class we had to make a interview story for our next project. We just did a practice interview story for us to get to know how to interview people. Our new project is to interview someone of our elder relatives that has an interesting life for an story for the Hiki No. The project is called " Elder Words of Wisdom "

During our practice story, my team, Sydney Nice, Wailana Makepa, and I did a wonderful time working as a team. With teamwork we were able to reach the goal and finish on time. We all had our own jobs to work on. One of us was the editor, one was working on the transcription template, and the other one was also working on the transcript. We all helped each other when one needed help.

On The last day to work on it we all worked together and had all of our ideas put together. We all had positive ideas on our partners idea which made us work together as a team. We had all of us with headphones, listening to the video and all gave our ideas to each other and made the video great. All of the ideas worked well together.

We also recorded the narraters voice for the voiceovers and put the B-Roll into the video. Everything worked really well together. The B-Roll looked awesome, the way Sydney and Wailana were filming me dance and how their ideas for my dancing worked with my interview. After putting the B-Roll, the narrater's voice, and everything to make it awesome, we went through it over and over and over and over again making little touches to it. After that process we turned it in just on time. We watched it with the class and everyone thought it was really cool. We did great!
