Extra Blog: January

For this extra blog I am going to be speaking of different ways that lighting affects a scene.(:

Emotionally Neutral Lighting

• This type of lighting is commonly seen used within news broadcast or game shows. This lighting tends to cast very few shadows and makes the whole scene seem bright and happy at the same time. 

Dramatic/Serious Lighting 

• This type of lighting is used when trying to achieve/ highlight an important scene. Is is commonly seen withing really important scenes. This usually implies that the actors are speaking of something very important. 

High Intensity Lighting

• This introduces a style of lighting called cameo. This creates a feeling of high drama as well as intensity of mood. This can also imply deep love or deep terror within a scene. Without having the reference points of the walls your audience has the capability of being drawn closer to the talent which creates a bond.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

• I am most proud of the fact that I had pretty good content within my PowerPoint and was able to explain it all.

2. a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
      AE       P          AP       CR       NC

    b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

• I gave myself this grade because all though my presentation was good my activity didn't come out the way I would have liked it to.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

• I was able to meet time. I added many slides to my PowerPoint due to the fact that I speak quickly which helped.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

• I would go back and really think my activity through. It made sense in my head but I just didn't know how to execute it correctly.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

• My answer to will most likely have something to do with either sound or lighting.

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 hours check

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

• I am doing my mentorship at Guadalupe Radio/TV.

2.   Who is your contact?

• My contact is Edgar Avendano. 

3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?

• I have done a total of 25 hours as of now.

4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.

• A lot of my hours have came from doing events which is when we tend to get really busy because we are broadcasting live. When we are not doing events I help out at the station and help them with whatever is needed while they film a TV show.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

Yes it is important to consistently work on my senior project no matter the circumstances. Over break we primarily spent the time getting things ready for Christmas.   

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

• The most important thing that I learned was that you are not always working just to help yourself but to help others as well. I learned this because since I mentor at a catholic radio/TV station there were plenty of people donating different things like food and clothing so that we can take them to Mexico for the people in need. 

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would talk to one of the guys that works at the station because he also works on different projects outside of work.
