Nick Johnson Feature Story

Tyler McCoach takes the snap and pitches it to the running back, Weston Davis, as he finds a hole in the defense and sprints toward the end zone.  Davis trots into the end zone untouched for just another touchdown to add to his season total.  He turns around to celebrate with his best friend and teammate, Tyler McCoach.

The Olathe Northwest sophomore football team has been very successful this year and remained undefeated.  They are led by running back and kicker, Davis and quarter back, Tyler McCoach.  The team goes on to pursue an undefeated season and the leaders share their thoughts.

           

“All I hope to gain out of this season is having fun and sharing the moment with my teammates who deserve this,” Davis said.  “We have worked so hard to get to this point, we started working in the summer and we never gave up on each other or the coaches.”

Football has been a part of life for these players ever since they were little playing pee-wee football.  They still remember going to Olathe Northwest football games as little kids waiting for their turn to be out there playing.  They have put in the work and trusted the process and road that they have been on to get to this point. They are here and enjoying every single moment.

           

“Weston is an animal, he never quits and has great ball carrier vision and I think that’s what really allows him to excel on the field,” Tyler McCoach said.  “If I could compare him to someone else I would say he is a cross between Bo Jackson and Steven Gostkowski.”  It’s obvious that the team chemistry is extremely high between this duo.

The team has worked hard and has earned its award. An undefeated season.  Even though they might not have games scheduled for next season yet, the process starts all over in only a few weeks.

This is my e-comm feature story. I interviewed two players on the Olathe Northwest football team.  They talked about their season and goals for the season.  During this video I had to shoot it in the hallways and I had the football record board in the background.  If I could change anything with the way I shot the video then I would take myself out of the video and replace my questions with voiceovers.  Obviously I can't go back and do that now, so I did my best to make it most like a feature story and not an interview.

Adobe Premiere Organizing Clips

How to Organize Clips in Adobe Premiere

In adobe Premiere you are going to need organizational skills when you have a lot of footage.  There are different ways to organize footage and one of the ways is to use bins. Bins let you know where footage and you can distinguish the clips by topic or different characteristics. To set up a bin you must double click on a bin in the panel. To open it up press command and double click.  Bins help you distinguish footage. I hope this helped.  To import video into your bins you are going to press Command+I or Control=I.  Then just simply select the footage and start editing.

Within your bins you can organize the footage and know where each clip is.  In this case under bin "04 Cineform" there is a clip for just that bin.   Bins make it very easy to locate that you need when you need it. 

ONW 1 in 2000 Nick Johnson

This was my first interview feature video.  I interviewed 1 in 2000 students at ONW.  I interviewed sophomore, George smith.  He told me about hid exciting summer in Michigan.  Before this video I had to prepare questions to make sure the interview flowed.  I followed up on many questions with, "why" or "with who."  Once I was done filming I had to edit and make sure it all flowed well.  I tried to take out the background noise, but failed to.  

Personal Project

Olathe Northwest Procedure Video

For my first video this year I made a video to remind people to push in their chairs. The video was made using adobe premiere and I tried to incorporate the six shot system.  To begin the process of making the video I had to set up a storyboard.  The storyboard establishes the shots a I am going to take along with the audio I will have. In this video we were not allowed to use our voices a all, so we had to insert music.  After shooting the video we had to edit using Adobe Premiere.  This was different from Final Cut Pro, which I had been using before.  If I were to do anything different I would make the shot of the boy getting pulled back into 1 shot and not have to make a jump cut.  This jumpsuit does not look clean and I should have made it in one shot.

Adobe Premiere had a play bar in which we could edit and use the razor tool to make our shots tighter. 

I had to import the videos using an SD card into the video stage area on Adobe Premiere










Once I was done editing I had to report this video as an mp.4  I had to go to File>Export>Media>mp.4.  After I did that I was able to upload it to Youtube then embed it to this blog post.

Photoshop

These are my photoshop projects.  In this project to the left I had to use clone stamp tool to crop out the trees and cars.  I then added the raven and all the pictures.  I added a new mask layer to mask them in.








In the butterfly picture I changed the colors of all symmetrical sides

On this project I had to add a gradient layer to the picture with Northwest over it.

On this last project I added the compass with the ONW in the background.

Invasive Species Website

My Website

I made a website in Dreamweaver with the help of Mr. Olson's videos.  My website was about invasive species in Kansas.

 In my website, which you can see to the left, you can see the design with the green color contrasted with the shade of sky blue.

I also embedded videos from youtube about each invasive species

Logo

I made my personal blog in Illustrator.  I used blue and red because the colors contrast each other.  I used a circle because it shows well roundness.  I wrote my name in cursive because it makes it look fancy. The keys represent keys to success.  We The Best is DJ Khaled's Major key alert.
