This is a chase scene we made in class this week. YouTube has not been working today so here is a link, click here to go to the video. We used the six shot system to chose the shots we took. We made a story board of the shots we wanted to take then ran around the school shooting scenes. My inspiration for this came from my friend in cross country who always stole my running gear. When it came together mine was a little long and had some of the same shots repeated. My class thought the ending was good and that there was no camera movement. The problem with camera movement it that there are only two of us in a group and we were both in the shots. I learned how to use the Final Cut Pro hardware and that you can work better in a group if you communicate everything. If  I got to do this project again I would make my shots shorter and make us run around less of the school. I would also try and make the acting less tacky. I would shoot the same story just make it more obvious wha...

This is a video staring my classmate Ava. She is demonstrating how to print from the school printers. We went to the schools library and filmed lots of different shots with the 6 shot system.  I used a program called Final Cut Pro to put the videos together and add music. We shot some of the parts twice or extra long. Later when I edited I took some of those parts out or made them shorter so that the video flowed together better. I learned how to use Final Cut Pro, how to add music, put videos together, and cut videos. I learned how you could edit a video for a long time to get it perfect but you have to edit it in a day or two so make the most of your time. I would shoot the scenes again so they go together better. I would use the same idea to shoot the video. I will I will draw for the experiance of the video flowing together to make the next one flow better. I think that for my fist porject this was pretty good but, I think that the next project will be better.

Today I took a personality test that showed me what animal I am, I got a beaver. This means that I am creative, like to solve problems, and take my time and do things correctly.This is true because I like to read and write and do all my assignments correctly no matter how long it takes. I have high standards and like order and respect. I also have unrealistic expectations of others and myself.  I do have unrealistic expectations of myself, I expect myself not to mess up and to do well on most things. I am also optimistic and flexible. This is true because I tend to look on the bright side of things and go with the flow. In my Brigs Meyers test I got slightly introversion and slightly prefer sensing. I also slightly prefer judging over perceiving. I moderately prefer thinking over feeling.
