I am going to be focusing this course on creating content for my filmmaking instagram account Jamesvlogss. I have had this Instagram account since early 2018 and this course gives me an excellent opportunity to expand.

The collection of materials for this will not be hard. I have been recording video, taking pictures, and working with the whole adobe suit for about four years now. I have amassed a lot of original content and i’m always going out and collecting more.

For the logo project I will be designing a logo for JamesVlogss. I am very excited for this because I have wanted to do this for a long time but have never gotten around to it. I look forward to the challenge of creating a image that is visually appealing, while also conveying the necessary information about me.

For the video project I have a lot of Ideas. I base my instagram account around the creation of videos so I am looking forward to completing this project. I have a couple concepts floating around as to what I could do, but I think the one I like the most would be a “BTS” (Behind the scenes) of the making of a vlog.

As for the audio unit, I would tell the story of how I got into filmmaking and then how that blossomed into the creation of Jamesvlogss. I expect the audio unit will be one of the more entertaining ones because I am excited to talk about that story.

As you can see the thumbnails for my videos are very disorganized, so another goal for this semester would be to create more of a uniform look on my account. The top profile picture would be replaced with the logo I create, and I would post the video I make onto my Instagram account.

The Instagram account linked below is a big inspiration for me.

His name is Sam Kolder and he is a travel vlogger. I have made several videos that mimic his style (that I have yet to post) but ideally my Instagram feed would start to mirror his.

This is an example of a vlog on youtube

As you can see it is 24 minutes, the maximum time for a Instagram video is 1 minute. So I have the challenge of condensing and finding a way to tell a story in the short amount of time allotted. Although it is hard, I absolutely love doing and I look forward to expanding it more in the coming months.

Coming into this class I have a lot of experience with the Adobe Creative Suit, so my goals for the class are to expand what I know and work on creating content at an extremely high level of quality.
