Project 3 - Horror Film
Movie Trailer - Horror Film
I don't have a title yet but this is the story line.
A guy (Ryan) get's a call from his buddy (John) and tell him to meet up with him at a buddies house to hang out at.
Ryan gets in his car and heads over to the house.
He knocks on the door while calling his friend John to tell him that he has arrived.
The door opens and he gets pulled in by his shirt.
Next thing you know, he wakes up in a basement and is looking around where he is at.
Then, he looks on his shirt and hands and see's that there is blood all over him.
He then see's a knife a few feet from him and is freaking out wondering what the hell is going on. He is scared and frightened.
He then crawls out of a back room and next thing you know, he hears footsteps coming down the stairs.
He quickly grabs the knife and hides into a room with a door shut.
The person who was walking down the stairs opens up the door.
That is when, when the door opens, Ryan is going to open up his eyes from a dream where he was sleeping and then realizes that it all was a dream.
But, once he wakes up, he is either going to look down at his shirt and there will be blood on it. OR the ending is going to be that he gets up and steps on his shirt that was blood on it.

Project 1 - PSA Anti-Bullying
Artist Statement:
Be strong. Be happy. Be Confident. Most of all, be yourself!
Maybe that is hard to do, maybe everyone wants to be themselves but something is standing in the way. Whatever it may be, that one thing that is standing in the way, must step aside and let you through in order to gain control, right?
I have seen people being bullied way to many times in my life. I, for one, have been in some challenging situations where a bully has taken over my thoughts. I decided one day that I wasn't going to let that happen anymore. Today, I see this happening more throughout the world with the use of technology. I want to make a statement that bullying can be very severe to an individual which can cause a person mentally to be unstable. Bullying can cause grievous death, so why become one!?

Research - Basketball Recruiting (Last Post for Project 2)
When looking for information about recruiting when a player is in high school, I went to Google and researched for basketball information. I clicked on a website and found some interesting information that is true since I also have been a high school athlete and believe in this information for a basketball player. They list a few rules that athletes need to follow so that they can be recruited to go onto and play college ball.
Rule 1: Develop a skill that a coach actually can use.
Rule 2: Be good enough to be a starter on your high school team.
Rule 3: Find an AAU team in your area that fits you.
Rule 4: Don't hire Recruiting Consultants that claim will get you a scholarship, do it yourself.
Rule 5: Develop your marketing strategy, be prepared and start early.
Rule 6: Have trust in your high school and AAU coaches to help you with your recruiting.
Rule 7: Attend the right camps and showcase.'
Rule 8: You are always being evaluated make sure you are always ON.
Rule 9: You have to take care of your academics.
Rule 10: Find a good balance of playing and skill development during the off-season.
Rule 11: Keep your family in check.
Spiece Fieldhouse - Fort Wayne, IN
This is one of the biggest showcase basketball tournaments in the U.S.

Project 2 - Scene Script
Scene 1:
I am going to have one of the players on the basketball team in the locker room talking into the camera about what it takes to come to IUSB and play basketball here, while be a student. It is tough to do which is the reason why I want to give the recruits a short video to look at to see what it takes. I'm going to do this differently though, instead of having one person throughout the whole video be my actor, I am going to do different people for each segments. So, once this scene is about to end, I'm going to have the player say something along these lines, "And now you will see one of the workouts we do everyday in our basketball program."
The segments are: Ball Handling, Morning Workouts, Shooting, Study Tables, and Open Gyms.
Scene 2:
When it cuts to this scene, it is going to be on the gym floor and I will slowly move the camera from the persons feet to their face while slowly zooming out. Then, I'll have the player say his name and what class he is in. I'll have him start doing a ball handling workout and then every now and then, I'll have him say something into the camera of how it's very important to dedicate yourself if you want to be successful on the court. Once this scene is done, I am going to have the player say something along these lines, "Now, let's go up in the weight room and see what kind of dedication it takes to have s physically and mentally strong body."
Scene 3:
When it cuts to this scene, I am going to have a player, Austin Fox, about to do his morning workout at 6 a.m. while the majority of students at IUSB are probably sleeping in a few more hours. He will say something like, "My name is Austin Fox and it's 6 a.m. here at IUSB, well, let's go see how much hard work you will go through." Then, I'll video tape his workout while every now and then he will say something into the camera of anything he wants to say to the people who are going to be watching this video. At the end of this scene, I'll have him transfer it over to a shooting workout which will be done by a different teammate.
Scene 4:

The Office - Research
The Office:
I started to look up clips and research on how The Office became so successful with how they shoot their scenes. I found out that they use a single-camera setup on their shoots which saves them a bunch of time as they have said.
Single-Camera Setup:
Project 2 - Critique
After watching the video and having a critique in class about it, I've decided to re-shoot the basketball scenes and also most of the other scenes. The reason is because I got some feedback from classmates on how to improve the video.
One, I am going to have the actor be more interactive with the camera so that the person watching it feels more as if he is talking directly to him instead of just showing him working out and not saying anything. I barely watching The Office which is something I am going to do on Netflix to figure out ways I can include the actors voice while working out and doing other things.
Also, one major thing I need to fix in my video is the quality of the video. It is shot in HD but when I transfer it over to the computer it transfers over into the lowest quality. So I asked Lucas if he can help me out and he agreed to so that is going to make my video stronger instead of low resolution.
Re-shooting video this weekend (March 8th - 10th).

Recruit Me - Project 2 - Rough Draft
Artist Statement:
What do you want to do when you graduate from high school? Many people want to go to college and earn a degree. But not everyone is alike. Not everyone has the same goal as each other. What if you played a sport in high school and want to continue playing in college while being a student? Now that right there is a reason how everyone is not alike.
My piece “Recruit Me” is a video clip about dedication. I chose to do this piece because I was a high school student-athlete back in the day and my dream was to play college basketball. Going to school and playing sports in high school was a fairly easy thing to do. But, when you get to college, everything changes. The reason why I wanted to do this video is because people don’t understand how much dedication of your time that it takes for being a student-athlete at the college level. I chose to record my brother, who also is a student athlete who knows what it takes in order to be successful at this level.
I chose the title “Recruit Me” because on Indiana University South Bend’s athletic website, www.iusbtitans.com there is a form/questionnaire to high school students and transfer students to fill out if they would like to attend IUSB. One reason that people will fill this form out is because of this reason: “According to the National Federation of High School Athletics, there are more than 15.2 million high school athletes. There are only 2,200 colleges with athletic programs.” My point is, most college coaches cannot go out and watch that 15.2 million high school athletes.
This video will appear once someone clicks on the “Recruit Me” button on the website and it will show how much dedication of time a student-athlete at the college level will give in order to make it at this level.
All the filming is done with, all that needs to be done is the video editing. At the end, it will be about 6-7 minutes long.
