Elevator Pitch
Hi, my name is Macy McKee. I am very interested in working with your company and being able to contribute to it would be an amazing opportunity. I have completed a semester of e9 and have gained skills within video, animation and web design. I created many animations such as making an object on the computer move in a way that looks real. Also, developing videos that keeps people watching and creating my own web page. My passion is in animation because I love making things on the screen come to life. I believe I can contribute to different jobs because my strong points are working with others, showing leadership, staying organized and on task. My email is mckeemacy@gmail.com I hope to hear from you! Thanks for your time.

Chase Scene
During this project I have learned many new things about video. For a chase scene there should be 6 quick shots for each scene not exceeding about 2 seconds. I also learned that the camera should be completely still while shooting each scene because you don't want the picture to be moving too much during the video. I hope we can do another chase scene so I can improve all the corrections I was given. My corrections were to use the same music throughout the video & to make more scenes, which I believe would be an easy fix. Over all this was a great experience that I hope to do again one day soon!

Survey
After taking the two surveys both of my results indicated that I was a very outgoing and social person. For the animal survey I was an otter which is a very social animal that loves people. After taking the personality survey I was an EFSJ(extraverted, feeling, sensing, judging.)
EFSJ's are helpers that are sensitive to the needs of others. They are also very outgoing and love to be the center of attention. An EFSJ is also are also eager to provide for those around them. I like to help others out which is why I think an EFSJ and an otter fits me perfect.
However, I believe if we took more surveys my results might change because I don't care that much about being the center of attention. I like everyone to be equal and not one person higher than another.
In my opinion I am not as out going as these survey's say, I am rather shy sometimes. I am not very good at meeting new people, but once I get used to them I am extremely outgoing and try to make everyone smile. I also don't get effected by my emotions very easily and I got a high percentage on feelings and sensing's which I was surprised by!
You should go and take the survey tests too. So that you can find out what's your personality is and what animal you're most like!

6 Shots System
![]() |
1. Extreme Close Up
In an extreme close up shot you want to get the head only and make sure the camera is focused on the face. You will need to cut off part of the chin and forehead so that the main part of the picture is the face. You also want to use the rule of thirds and make sure the face is not on center and slightly towards the corners. 
2. Close Up Of Hands
In this shot you want the hands to fill the screen and be on focus. Which I didn't get a very good shot in this picture. There should be a little bit of the background behind the hands of what the person is doing. You should also use the rule of thirds when taking this shot.
3. Over The Shoulder

4. Medium
In this shot the subject should be seen from
waist to forehead. This will give us a view on
who the subject it. The focus point should be
focused on the subject and the rule of thirds
should be
5. Wide
In a wide shot the subject should be seen from head to toe
and the focus point should be on the subject. You should be able to see a little bit of what the subject is doing and the rule of thirds should be used on this shot.
In an extreme wide shot the subject and the setting should be seen. So that the person looking at the photo can see where the subject is and what the subject is doing.

Social Media
10/13/15
Always be ware of what your putting on social media because you never now who sees it.
According to the article, "Certain high school seniors work meticulously this month to finish their early applications to colleges,some may not realize that comments they casual make online could negatively affect their prospects."
Some students applying for colleges have amazing applications and good grades, however what they put on every day social media can make colleges second think accepting these students.
I was surprised that schools such as Brown don't look at all their applicants social media before accepting them, because there is to many candidates and not enough time.
It was also surprising that there was an increase for 5% of schools to start checking applicants social media! If that percent grows every year there will be a significant amount of schools keeping track of their students.
I was questioning why false and misleading content is taken as a fact. I believe colleges should determine if the content was true before punishing this student by not accepting them.
I did not know that colleges were allowed to go through student's social media without the students permission. I believe it's the students personal privacy, but it can be used to help ditermine if a
student with a 4.0 gpa is really who they seem to be.
Always stay safe and make sure your social media is not filled with bad content!

During this animation I learned that the ball stretches on the way up and the on way down. The face goes from happy when its in the air and squished when it hits the ground. As the ball bounces down the page it gets lower every time until it finally comes to a stop and rolls off. In photoshop I learned how to create text, draw, and make backgrounds. I hope to do more animations through out the year and learn many new things.

In e9 we have learned how to use squash stretch animation. Are assignment was to animate the motion of a ball bouncing on the ground. We used photo shop on our computers to complete this task.
I learned that when the ball falls further down it stretches to show the ball speeding up. Once it hits the ground the ball squishes to show the ammount of force hitting the ground. Which is how the squash stretch animation works.
I hope to go further into this topic this topic and complete animations. It was a fun learning experience and I can't wait to do it again sometime!
