My Personality Type

My Personality Type:

My personality type is ENTP which I got as a result of taking the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Test. This sequence of letters shows that I'm flexible with new problems and tasks that I'm given, resourceful and able to create new solutions, smart in terms of reading other people, and bored easily by things repetitive or that stay the same. I quickly react to problems and I'm quick in turning from one interest to another, so I'm constantly experiencing new ideas and interests. 

Famous People With The Same Personality Type:

Many people in the past have had the same personality type as I currently do, and some of those include Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Niccolo Machiavelli. All of these people experienced the same sort of thoughts or behavioral patterns as I have. But, a few people who are considered evil have also had the same personality type. For example Mao Zedong, or the Dictator of Communist China also has the same type of personality type as I do.

My Personality Animal: 

After I took the Lion/Otter/Golden Retriever/Beaver Test I added up all my points and came to the conclusion that  fall into the "Beaver" category. The beavers are very organized and quick thinkers, and they value creativity and respect. But their weakness is pressure by others and trying too hard to be perfect. This category suits me quite well because I believe it aligns with my strengths as well as my interests. 

My Thoughts On My Personality Type:

I Believe this personality type does actually represent me very well, and it has helped me realize some of my own thoughts and behavior as well. For example, I believe that I do overthink things and that I tend to stick to a certain type of group of friends. This personality type shows that I have the capabilities to lead a team or stay on task and follow the lead of others, and I have learned that it's good to be prepared and that I can be rather flexible and resourceful if I need to be.

About This Project:

Recently we have been working on a project that attempts to make moving from one place to another more entertaining. We used different techniques such as adding obstacles and different angles to make the movement more enjoyable to watch. We used Ipads and tripods to record the scenes, and Adobe Premiere Pro to put them all together into a sequence of events. This project took roughly 1 week to fully complete both recording and editing.

 How We Completed This Project:

We completed this project by separating different tasks and taking each task a step at a time. We first began by splitting up the work between 4 different people, since we worked in small groups on this project. After we determined the director, main actor, side actors, and cameraman, we began story boarding to put together a simple story taking place in the school where a student had to travel from one point to another. We came up with many ideas but we decided on this one revolving around hot pockets because it seemed the most unique of the ones we came up with. Then, we spent the next two days filming various scenes, trying to keep many of the constants the same. Once we were finished with the filming we hopped on the computers and began editing using Adobe Premiere Pro. We added quick cuts, zooms, and other various effects that we needed. The music we used in our film is a few songs we picked from a long list of royalty free songs. After the video was completely edited we exported it and uploaded it to our youtube channels to be viewed.

New Ideas and Possible Changes:

During the making of this film, I learned many new techniques to spice up movement to make it less dull and boring. Obstacles are a must in films to add anticipation and action, and I have learned that now. If I were to do this whole project over again I would film a few scenes different, and have less clips but have them be longer rather than having a lot of short clips so they could all fit together more smoothly.

Printing a Document Video

Project Concept:

Recently we have started a project where we demonstrate the process of printing a document at Olathe Northwest, adding comedic affect to show the confusion some highschoolers might have when first attempting to print a document. The project was completed using Ipads on tripods, and the video editing application known as Adobe Premiere Pro. The project was split into 3 parts, the planning/storyboarding, shooting, and editing. Overall this project took roughly 2 weeks.

Process Behind The Project:

When we first began this project, we brainstormed potential locations and stories with a partner. Once we set the storyboards and scouted an area suitable to film, we grabbed our equipment such as the tripod and Ipad. My partner and I decided to shoot the scenes in the library, which took several takes with us maneuvering the tripod into other locations. One of the major points of this project was to use each of the 6 basic shots and the rule of thirds to draw in the viewer. In all the shots we took I was the actor playing the part of the confused student whereas my partner filmed the scenes. Many parts were trimmed to keep the story short and simple. Background music was added to fit the theme of the story and audio from the video itself was cut to make the video even more simple.

Confusion and Correction:

There are many things that I believe could be changed and made better throughout our video. This was the first time my partner and I used the tripod, leaving us confused on how to properly center the Ipad and keep the shot balanced. If I were to do this project again I would redo the beginning scene since it was wobbly and unbalanced. Also I would trim a few other clips such as the scenes where I move the mouse across the screen. Overall the project was relatively simple, with many of the tasks not requiring much work. Also, I have had experience with filming and video editors before so the project was easily manageable.
