In Mr. Harwood's class we had to creat a commerical or public service annoncement. I decided to create a commerical for my new shoes, Nike Air Max. I produced this video at home in Lancaster, SC.
In class we had the opportunity to make a video asking people how they felt about halloween candy corn Because I was absent that day, I decided to ask my teammates and coaches some questions. This video included clips of my teammates and coaches here at South Carolina State.
For this class project, we learned how to create different effects using only light. This first picture uses flat frontal lighting. This type of lighting only uses a main light and it is located near the camera at eye level.

The purpose of three-point lighting is to position three lights to use for visual media. When using three-point lighting, it is important to eliminate the shading and shadows that are produced by direct lighting.
This first image shows the overall setup of three-point lighting. When doing three-point lighting you must have a key light, a fill light, and a backlight. Below I will describe each light and its purpose.
This image is a close-up of my classmate with no lights. I think this image is important so we can see the differences that the key light, fill light, and backlights make.
In this image, the key light is the only light used. The key light is the dominant light source and it can be compared to the sun because it provides the distinctive highlights in the scene.
Next, we used the key light and the fill light. The fill light is known as the secondary light source. It creates depth and dimension in the subject's face. The fill light produces illumination about half as intense as the key light.
This last image is the setup with all the lights and the subject sitting in the right place. Overall in Mr. Harwood class at SCSU, I learned that three-point lighting is very effective when trying to create good visual media.
My classmates and I did a reflector disc field exercise. We learned many things like how to set up the scene in order to use the reflector disc and how to catch the sun to have the most effective lighting. The main purpose of a reflector disc is to bounce the light from the sun onto the reporter's face when there is not good lighting around. We did this field exercise outside of Turner Hall at South Carolina State University.
This first image is a picture of the reporter before the reflector disc is used. In this image, we can see how there are bright spots and sun rays going through his face.
Next, we see the setup from the person holding the reflector disc's point of view. At the top of the image you can see the sun and then the person is set up to catch the sun and then bounce it on the reporter's face.
My next picture shows the setup from the cameraman's point of view. We can clearly see the sun being reflected onto the reporter's face. It is very important to get the right angle in order to get the right lighting for the segment. This is my wide shot from behind the camera so you can see the entire setup.
The purpose of this image is to show the entire setup from the reporter's point of view. It is important to see this point of view so we can understand the position of the camera and the reflector disc.
This is a closeup of the reflector disc doing its thing. This image is important because we can how the sun is bounced off the reflector towards the bottom of the disc.

Overall, from this field exercise, I learned how to properly use a reflector disc. We understand how to find the right angle to bounce the sun onto the reporter's face.
During class time, we interview students at the pit. I asked them who would they like to see for SCSU's homecoming. There were many different answers but one common person was requested for homecoming. I learned how to position the camera for the best possible angle. I also learned how to adjust the lighting and white balance while being outside. Here is my take on "Person on the Street".
Creating an Action sequence is pretty simple but it allows us to demonstrate basic principles of videography and editing. I created my video with Faith, it shows her sequence from leaving class to getting into her car. We shot this video in Turner Hall at South Carolina State University Here on Taylor Talks I will be showing you guys my take on an action sequence. I learned more effective ways to cut and edit my videos to have a smooth video.
Hey guys! We took a class trip to Black Water Axes and Ale to interview Avery Daniels. Avery Daniels works here in the library at South Carolina State University. He got into Axe throwing after the passing of his father.
On this trip, we learned how to set the cameras and lighting up outside of the classroom. This was very helpful because our normal broadcasting classes focus
on settings around campus.
This is the final edited video of "Me in 30 Seconds"! Here at SCSU in Mr. Harwood's class, I learned how to set up the camera, adjust the lighting, and do white balance. We also found out how valuable it is to give your classmates direction when they are on camera.
Here is an unedited video of Me in 30 seconds. My classmates and I got the opportunity to film each other's videos and learn new things about each other. We decided to film in the hallway because it provided more light.
Aaliyah and I created a PSA for the All-Star bowling alley. The bowling alley is in the process of being redone. Ellen Zisholtz is in charge...
