Students Studying

Having a picture of the students in their everyday life studying is probably important to add in my promo video. This picture has the student together and the feeling you get when seeing this is very proactive and friendly. I need to remember these kind of things when I take my photos around Carroll Community. I want to show how friendly and nice the students are here and how you can really excel in your studies being at a community college.

Computer Image

This image has good lighting and I like how it shows other student on the computer. I think with my pictures I may blur out pieces of it and focus solely on one thing and draw the camera into it and zoom out focusing on another piece. This picture helps me see how I should take the photo when I go out and shoot some of around the school.

College Photo of Happy Students

In my college Promo Video I want to capture the life of the students here at Carroll Community. I want people to know that the students here can still have fun just like how this picture is. It shows all the students participating happily with their fellow college students and I feel that this picture alone gives you a feeling that people enjoy the college they are intending. I need to make sure I capture that same feeling int he images I use for my promo video.

Temple University Promo Video

The person who made this promotional video did an awesome job with using effects to make it look like images were being projected onto the college building and students were looking up to it. It gave you a feeling that the college was really powerful and would help you get where you want to go. I think it does a good job keeping the viewer interested in what the school has to offer.

Gatorade Inside Edge

This video is just like I want to do for my college promotional video. I want to zoom into an object and end up somewhere else when zooming out of it. I love how this commercial is done. It is so clean and I love how it all tied together in the end. It helps me think of how I can tie in my piece together to make it flow smoothly with the rest of the images I use. I want to keep my audience captivated to what is going to come next just like this commercial did!

Earth-Zoom out

This video is really cool because it constantly zooms out of planet earth. I am thinking of doing a video zooming into a piece and zooming out with the piece in a different place. and I came across this video and even though it isn't what I am doing it is still really cool to watch how massive the universe is and I like how it zoomed out so smoothly. That is something That I will have to do with my video.

Stop Motion Water

This Stop motion video is so clean! I love how he blurs out the background at the beginning and focuses on the water dripping out of the faucet. You can tell he put a lot of hard work and patience into this. It is so cool to see other people's stop motion videos, because it is cool to see how clean they do it and how clean yours is supposed to look as well. I love how he used clay as water in this whole peice. It was very creative. I liked it a lot.

Bad College Promo Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXe0RGeQz3E
This College Promo Video is not the best in my opinion. the school itself looks so dark and dingy. The text used on the clips takes you eye away from the image which is really important. The text should of been shorter and more to the point. The places filmed didn't really do the school justice and the people didn't seem to happy about the school. The font is also not the best and they should have focused a little more on the typography of this peice. I think a lot more work could've been done on this video to make it look more appealing.

Stop Motion-Pes

This guy is awesome at stop motion! I have seen a few of his videos and he really takes it to the extreme. He must have a lot of patience for this kind of stuff and his work is awesome! He is really creative and thinks of really neat things to make the videos much more interesting. His technique is on a far more advanced level than many people have, but he is fun to look at and inspiring. He makes others want to do awesome stop motion videos as well!

South Devon College Promo Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vKjRmlSJ_o

In this video, It really focuses on the Student life. It shows a person who has never attended this college the amount of fun these students can have. The images in this video range from school activities, outside activities to the different studies a person can accomplish. I like how this video is made up because to me it targets a new student, whether it may be a high school student or a transfer student. The students displayed in the video also look really fun and friendly which is also a huge part of entering a new college. Everyone wants to be able to make new friends. They show different parts of the library and gym, and they are all ideas I can use in my own promotional video.
