Proactive or Procrastination?

I wanna be proactive but I've been procrastinating because I don't want to critique my Visual Poem because I don't really like it... As Im writing this our class is critiquing my video so I am trying to hide my face. WOO! The video finished but they are playing it again *hides face*. Ok now its done since that is over with Im gonna start being proactive. Being proactive can also make you happy and have no stress hanging over you. If you choose to be a procrastinator in life you'll get nothing done and you would just be dwelling on little things that probably don't really matter so my advice to those reading this is to be more proactive in life so you are living life to its fullest.

Well I spend about 7 hours in school every week day and after school from the time I get home to the time I go to bed 1-3 hours are spent on the internet watching Netflix.... yes I know what your thinking about, thats not so healthy for a 12 year old girl. It depends what day of the week it is, if its monday or friday I probably spend only 1 1/2 hours on the internet. Most of the things that I do on the internet is go on Instagram, Ask fm, Netflix, Vine and I text my friends. I realized this isn't the best thing to do for my age and I should spend more time doing my school work so I can get an A in every class.

Some things that I would change about my work habits is trying to use my time more wisely on my work. I say this because recently I just got a B in this class (GT) and its my first B that I got this year so Im not really happy about it and I just got a C in english Im not really sure why though and I still didn't show my parents my report card because I'm scared but at least its only mid quarter grades. I think the reason why Im not  doing as good as I did in quarter 1 is because currently I'm addicted to Netflix and watching the series Walking dead, American Horror Story, and The100. I think Ive been spending more time watching after school and doing my after school sports more than I have been doing my homework. Good thing Im done with the series of shows now I can and will concentrate on my work.

Finished News Story

A while ago our team Talia, Ashley, Meleana and I finished our profile story project on Mrs. Julia Sanderl.  We decided to do our project on Mrs. Sanderl because Talia and I really love her class because its really fun and interesting and Meleana and Ashley said that it also sounded fun to do. Some people that contributed to our story is Gabriela Bryan, Michael Amoyo and of course Mrs. Sanderl.

Our final project turned out really great! We got voted as the top three stories in our class and got submitted to Hiki No. Even though our story didn't go on air I really think we did pretty good there wasn't any big mistakes just a few minor ones. After I saw the story that my team and I created I was really impressed that 2 seventh graders and 2 sixth graders had created such an awesome video. I think that we did awesome because we all worked together and communicated very well. I am very happy with the finished cut.

I agree with the results my classmates put for the story my team and I made. The story wasn't perfect but it was pretty good. I think that the critiques were very helpful for our story. All of the critiques let the team know some improvements we could've made. This was a really fun experience to start off the year and to learn how to work as a team with some new people.

My Visual Poem

 Hi everyone! Recently our class just finished our Visual Poem project and the purpose of it was to write a poem about us that expresses us and then film and take pics if it. My poem is about music and my love for it. The visuals that I used for this is myself playing the piano and pictures of my sheet music that I use.  The visuals relate to what Im saying when I recite my poem because I talk about music and hands touching the keyboard and thats what you see.

I guess I like my project but I used my moms camera to film all the b-roll and there is no way to focus it so my b-roll is pretty blurry. Also I kinda rushed on this project so Im not that happy about it. Next time I'll check out one of Mr. Sanderls cameras so I have better quality imagery and be aware of how much time I have to finish this project. Overall I guess Im pretty satisfied waith the result of my project.

All though the b-roll wasn't that good I still tried to make it look interesting by putting lots of different and cool effects. I used the crop tool, Ken Burnz effect, transformation tool, text layovers, and color correct which helped with the problem a bit. The Ken Burnz effect made the pictures that I used in my project more interesting to look at because it would pan across the image and zoom in and out of it. The transformation and crop tool made the image either just show a certain part of it or transform it into a different way to look at that pic or video. The color correction made the imagery more eye popping.
