Final Photomantages

These are two examples of my photomontages. We made these photomontages because we learned about David Hockney's wonderful art works. We had to take multiple pictures of a location in a couple perspectives and put them together to create "Joiners". My first one, on the left was one of our practice ones which was taken at my school of a trash can with an beautiful hall way with amazing trees in the background. The other photomontage that I made was of my brothers truck with the beautiful sky and his really cool stickers that he created and put on his truck. After taking the pictures I put my raw, unedited, photos in Adobe Camera Raw and edited them. Finally I put them together and organized them in a way that made sense in Photoshop.

Practice Profile Story

In my G.T. class we had to make a practice of our profile stories. We practiced with our teammates and chose one of us to interview of what they like to do. My partners and I, Sydney Nice and Wailana Makepa, chose to interview me dancing because of how much I really enjoy dancing.

The purpose of this practice profile story is to learn and get used to the way we have to do our official profile story which is the profile story about " Elder Words of Wisdom."

The video below shows my team's practice profile story. Please watch!

Profile Project Progress

For the Profile Project that we are doing in G.T. class we had to choose one of our older relatives out of all three of our partners family. My partners and I chose my grandfather, Papa Jim Drake, for our project. We chose him because one of my partners grandparents aren't on this island and my other partners grandparents were to busy and weren't able to get with us.

We interviewed him at his house and shot many B-Rolls of him and his family members. We also went to the beach to show how he spends his little time with his family members when they can. Our project is about how Papa Jim encourages his family and shows how much he loves his family. The hard part about this was the shots and how we had to get up close and then medium shots and then the wide.

During this project we had the hardest time trying to get with each other because we all had something to do after school. I think one thing that my partners and I could've done better was work as a better team by helping each other more than usual. Lately we just did our rough cut critique on our videos and these were our critique scores from our class for audio, visuals, story, and the quality of the video.

To improve the video we will be reshooting a lot of the B-Rolls, fix and re-due the voice-overs, and make the video make more sense by making everything in the right order and make everything together with the story. Hopefully everything will be awesome and interesting to the viewers, but I know in my head and soul that WE CAN DO IT!
