Hey guys, as you may know today is the last week of blogs for me.  This is because the end of my school year has arrived.  After all my work, I can finally see the end.  I even was able to finish my 4th quarter project, that we started in quarter 3.  But even though its going to be summer break soon, I still want to improve on things that I learned during my stay here in this media class.  Here are the things I want to improve.

          The first thing I want to improve  is my social skills.  This is because  you can never not have enough social skills, these skills can help you work together with other people wether it is big or small groups.  These skills can help you lead a team, and make your group successful.  This is why improving my social skills is the first thing I want to do this summer.

          The second thing I want to improve is my editing skills.  This is because if I have good editing skills, I can use this in the future to make videos for my future school projects,  or business.  This gives me an advantage over everyone else, and will help me succeed in life, when needed.  This is why improving my editing skills is me second goal for my summer break.

        My last and final thing I want to improve  is my ability to learn.  This is because when I was trying to learn all these new techniques, I had a difficult time learning.  So now that I know my weakness, I want to fortify this because learning is essential to life, and in order to succeed you need the ability to learn new things fast.  This is why improving my ability to learn is the last thing I want to improve on.  

      In conclusion, these are the things I want to improve on,  but these are all thing that hopefully will make me more successful.  Also these abilities will hopefully let me thrive so, these are why I choose these things to improve on, in my summer break.  

         Hey guys, have you ever heard of an advice column named Dear Abby?  It used to be really popular a long time ago, and is still running today, although the original person who created it passed away already.  Well theres some new student coming into the Media Class, and I will tell you the top three advices I would give them.

        For my first advice I am going to say that it's best if you follow the recommended due dates, to help pace your self.  But I feel it would be even better, if you could to turn it in before the due date.  This is because you can make corrections to your video before you have to turn it in, and it can mean the difference of advancing up a letter grade.  So this is my first recommended advice to the newbies that are coming in.

       My second advice for you newbies is that you listen to you instructors.  This is because they will be your main guide in helping you succeed in this class, even if they may seem unreasonable at some points, it should be because they are trying to help you grow and learn.  This is my second top recommendation to the newbies that are coming in.

       My last of my top three advices that I wanted to give you is that, you should try to enjoy the class, but also try not to be too relaxed in the class.  This will help you stay calm even during the most stressful of times, it will clear you mind and help you work, and allow you to work faster.  So in a sense it improves how much you are capable of doing, in how much time, and under how much or what type of pressure.  

      In conclusion you should try to rely on others to help you learn, and you should try to work above and beyond in the assignments you are assigned, but also try not to be to stressed or too relaxed, as too much of either can affect how much work your able to do.  These are my top three advices for the newbies that are coming into the class.

      Hey guys, so I saw this video, and this made me really excited.  They are gonna release a second video on Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles. So I looked at the movie trailer and it caught my attention right away, and they included funny parts to lighten up the video.  So I was amazed that they were able to make me captivated from the beginning, with probably one of their most interesting scenes.  So if I ever need to make a movie trailer, or want someone to watch my video, I will try and make the beginning super interesting, like the beginning of a book.  Well anyway that'selow. why I liked this video, and if your interested, you can watch this trailer b

        Hey guys so as you my know, school for me is about to end in a couple weeks, but theres still lots I have to do.  But heres the one project that I would think is the biggest of my school year, it's my 4th quarter project, and we have a limited time, so I will tell you how things are going.

       Starting off, I would say things are going pretty good.  I may be pressed for time, but I believe I can finish on time.  But why do I believe I can finish on time?  This is because we have everything planned out, to the point where it's just like following directions, so I can finish on time, or even before the due date.  So because I planned this out I believe I can finish on time, with what time I have remaining.

      Another reason why I believe things are going pretty good is because we have gathered up all of our actors.  A lot of the time, it's hard to find actors, so people fall behind schedule.  But we have gather our actors, and we now that they are free, and are able to help us, by acting and being in our film.  This is the second reason why I believe that things are going pretty well.

      The last and final reason why I believe things are going pretty well, is that I have a trust worth partner, and good friends, who are going to be in the film.  Why is having a trust worth partner, and good friends my last reason? This is because I can trust them to the point, where I know they will come if I ask, and support my partner's and my choices.  This is the last and final reason why I believe my 4th quarter project , currently is going pretty good.

     In conclusion, I have lots of reasons why I believe my 4th quarter project is going well, even though they range from my own planning to pure trust in one another.  This is why I believe my 4th quarter project is going pretty well.

         Hi guys, as you may know, a lot of people eventually turn to music to either change their mood, may it making them feel better or even helping them concentrate.  Also a lot of people may favor a specific group or bang for their music.  Like prince, but unfortunately he died.  He was a famous musician, who wrote his own songs, and also wrote songs for other people.

         Although for me it's different.  I don't favor a specific artist or group.  But when I do go to music for inspiration, most times I go to songs, that is warm and easy on me, and also lets me think, but I also want a song that has a meaning that is easy to understand.  Most groups don't consistently do this, so it's hard for me to find these type of songs, because it's spread out through out the music world, and only pops up here and there.  This is why I don't favor one artist or group.

        Most times though, when I turn to music, is when I'm really in the dumps, or I need help thinking.   Why do I turn to music during these times?  This is because when I listen to the music I like, it helps to calm me down, and keep me from stressing.  But it also help to cheer me up, and it makes me want to look ahead in life, instead of all the bad things that could be happening right now.   This id why I turn to music during these times.

        Currently right now though, because I need the words being sang to have a meaning, I don't look for singers, I look for music it's self. Sounds, so right now I'm listening to a producer, called no copy right sounds.  This producer, can make these sounds, have a meaning instead of just being random songs.  So currently, these sounds are what  I like.  This is the current music I'm listening to.

       To sum this up, I am a picky person when it comes to music, because I choose music that can personally affect my emotions, to either make me work harder, or bring up my spirits.  This is the kind of music I like to listen to ever once in a while in order to help me accomplish my current goals.

      So I found this movie trailer called The Lego Batman Movie, I believe that this is supposed to be a comedy movie, it kinda feels like they just wanted to kinda show you how the characters were going to act.  Well I think this is a good movie trailer, that uses imagination, and unexpected things that is funny.  That is not all, they also use good use of close ups, and medium shots to show emotion and action. Also they are using these certain shots to what I believe, is actually makes you realize the setting and whats going on.  So thats why I like this movie trailer, and if your interested, you can watch it below.   

​        Everyone makes mistakes may it be when your young middle age, or even a senior.  Everyone makes mistakes, and I am going to tell you some of my mistakes and what  I have learned from them.  I've made mistakes from not listening to forgetting to do something, you name it I probably made some kind of mistake that is normal in a everyday life.

         The first ever mistake I can remember was the STOVE.  Back then I wasn't really to bright so I would make the same mistakes over and over again.  So back to the stove.   My first ever mistake was when mom told me not to touch the stove, because it was hot.  But I didn't know what hot was! So behind her back I touched the stove.  At first I didn't feel anything, but suddenly I yelled ouch, and jerked my hand away.  After that I  learned what the word hot was.  I learned to be cautious around things that were said to be hot, or had the word hot.  A few years later I forgot what a burn felt like, and made the mistake with an iron.  I touched it, and again I repeated what happened.  That was the first mistake I could remember that I did.

         Another time when I made a mistake was a few month's after the burn, when it came in a different form.  This was when I made the mistake of leaving my toys on the ground.  This mistake was a direct cause of what I did in the past.  So of course, toys on the ground spell trouble.  I ended up stepping on one of my toys, and cutting my toe.  Back then I couldn't handle pain to well, so I started crying and stuff, then treated it, and after a few weeks it was healed.  So what I learned was not to leave things on the ground that can possibly hurt yourself.

       Finally, one of the biggest mistakes I've made was probably letting my self get lazy.  Laziness, is something I am still learning I think.  It is putting me through a lot, and a lot of times, it ends up stabbing me in the back.  So I have gotten scolding, and punishments, because I was lazy.  This is one thing I would not like to come across in my future.  This will do a lot to even the best of people.  This is my biggest mistake, and one everyone can learn from.

     In conclusion,  mistakes happen to everyone, may it be that your young or old.  It does not matter, and you can learn through your mistakes, and it can make you a better person.  So learn from mistakes, no matter how long it takes.  These are some of my biggest mistakes, that I have learned from , and what I am trying to learn.

         Hey guys, so I was looking and looking for the next star wars movie trailer, so I know when the movie is coming out.  But honestly, this movie trailer wasn't as captivating as the others.  I think it was the music, that made it not as entertaining.  Well anyway here were somethings I did like, there was a good usage of wide shots, showing a location setting or theme, also there was a good usage of mediums, to show action, and some emotion.  Then there was the close-up of the enemy's who could use light saber. But anyway it wasn't the best movie trailer, but it was good.  Well anyway, if you are interested  you can watch it below.

          Hey guys today the topic is when I last went out of my comfort zone, and what were those experiences like.  Well to tell you the truth, I am almost never in my comfort zone, and I almost always feel stressed, even in the easiest of times.  But there were times when I broke the second wall from my comfort zone, and I will tell you what those were like.

          The first time I ever took a step pass that second wall in my comfort zone, was when I was in fourth grade.  I'm kinda shy in front of large numbers of people, but when I wrote about what I appreciated I was elected to read this in front of the whole entire school.  I was shocked because I didn't think this would happen, but it did!  So I sucked up my guts, and went up on the stage, and started talking.  When I was talking it felt like a whole wave of pressure from everyone's eyes, and it was pretty nerve recking.  But I finished my speech went down, and did what I thought I wouldn't be able to do.  That was the first time I took a step out of my comfort zone.

         The second time I took a step out of my comfort zone, was when I went zip-lining, with the boy scout troop I was in.  It was incredibly scary, because it was like you were jumping off a 15 foot high wall, to your death in a valley.  This totally freaked me out, and I had to push my self every time to jump off.  I don't think I will ever learn to be able to jump to your own possible death, even if you know you are secure and safe, with what you are wearing.

​        The third time I broke my second wall from my comfort zone my seem silly, but this time it was when I got my boaters license, is when I broke my second wall to my comfort zone.  This to you may confuse you, but I was told by my dad, that I am the captain for today.  So this made me start to feel the pressure, because a captain has to find and catch the fish, and you have to also keep the boat floating, not sinking.

    In conclusion, I haven't broke my second wall to my comfort zone much times, but these three times I have earned something from them.   I learned that if you don't leave your comfort zone, you cant experience new things, and you can't learn new things, unless you try and leave your comfort zone.

         Hey guys, it's hard to believe it has been two weeks, since we came back from our STN trip in Atlanta, and also went to New York, I will be discussing my top 3 memorial moments.  This is my opinion, and its going to be hard to choose, because I had lots of memorial moments.

         For my first memorial moment, it would have to be in Atlanta, when my team won first place in the PSA category.  I can't tell you how happy I was, because this was my first and last year, so I had mixed emotions when we won.  Though this made one of my top 3 memorial moments because this was one of my most exciting days of my life.

       My second most memorial moment, was when we went to Six Flags.  This is one moment I will not forget.  This is because we got to go on roller coaster, my most favorite thing.  There was one roller coaster though, the I enjoyed the most, and I still get dreams from it.  It was called the goliath.  This was a really fun roller coaster,  it was over before I could even enjoy it.  Although when I looked at the images of our faces, I looked like I was having the most fun.

       My final most memorial moment is when we went to New York! Why a city and not a moment you ask? Well let me tell you! This is because the whole entire time we were in New York, it was a new experience.  We even got to go ice scatting.  But turns out I was kinda bad at it, and fell lots of times.  Theres more though, there was the Empire State Building, it was so tall, it really let me enjoy a view, I've never truly seen before.  Then theres snow.  It was a miracle, to us, because we never ever seen snow before, so when we went to New York this is what we were hopping for.  This moment was probably the best!  This is why New York is on my favorite moments, instead of just one plain old moment.

        In conclusion,  I had so much fun on this trip, and honestly the top 3 memorial moments?  Theres no way at least for my that 3 top memorial moments would be enough to explain, what I enjoyed.  Well anyway, these are my top 3 memorial moments, even though there were more!
