Homework Chase Scene



I used Final Cut Pro to make this video. I also used the six-shot system and left space.



The video is about a girl, myself, finishing her homework. However, this other girl, Sarah, takes my homework. We chase around the school and Sarah goes up to the teacher, Emily, to find out we didn't turn it in on time anyways.



I really enjoyed making this video andI hope to make more in the future!

How to Print a Paper

I used an iPad and used the six-shot system to create this video on how to print a paper. I used a variety of shots and the 180 degree rule. This is my first time using the video software and I think I did pretty well for my first time using these new skills.

Myers' Briggs Test

I am the Otter.

In the Myers' Briggs test it says I have the Otters personality. They are very social creatures and love people, just like me. I am the same as the Otter because I can be hurt if someone doesn't like me and I have lots of friends, but no deep relationships. Ive never had a deep relationship with someone. We like to hurry up and finish the job, and we don't always finish the job well. I am Fun-Loving and a bit of a rebel. The second animal I got was the Lion, We enjoy challenges and difficult assignments. I am more like the Otter though.

My Personality: ESFJ

I took the personality test today and it says I am an a ESFJ, which I agree with. I am an ESFJ, a people person, a provider. I love people and I am interested in other peoples feelings. I take some responsibilities very seriously and I am very dependable on. I am warm and energetic who likes to be in control, a leader. I work hard and expect the same from others. I know the world is a dangerous place and I sense when dangers around. I am down to earth and cooperative, if you say "Hi!" to me, I'll say "Hello!" back. As a caregiver I will protect people around me and stand up for what is right.

This shot shows characters/subjects and setting. It is the establishing shot.

Review of "They loved your GPA, then they saw your Tweets" By Natasha Singer

Colleges have now been looking at students social media posts, before they go to there school. Students social media and digital footprints can sometimes alter there admission process.

What surprised me is that 30 percent of the admissions officers said they had discovered information online that had negatively affected the applicants prospects, out of the 381 college admissions officers they asked.

Its been an increase of 5 percent of admissions officers that looked at there social media profiles since last year.

In the article I questioned "Whats the least worst thing that could change your process for going into a college?" I also didn't know some of the words in the article like credentials and scrutiny.

The article impacted my own view of social media by looking at my friends social media profiles and wondering "With the stuff there saying, will the admission officers really see this and will it change the rest of there lives?"

I feel like all the kids my age need to review there social media posts before its too late and can change there future for the worst.

My house animation made from Goggle SketchUp in 3D.

A photoshop video timeline animation describing who I am in ten words.

I learned how to use video timeline instead of a frame animation and how to transition the words in different ways. I had a struggle trying to find the background photo so I just decided in the white/pinkish flower.

I learned new skills in this project. I learned how to use the paint tool and how to draw on different layers. I also learned that I needed to use more layers to make it look cleaner/smoother. I'm proud of this animation.  (: 

My First Animation!

My first ever animation, a forever bouncing ball. I messed up on the first stretch so it looks like it just floats in the air for a second. However, I like the squash I did on the ball and I tried to make it look more realistic when it overlapped the ground. I found out how to make the bounce realistic by using squash and stretch. I stretched the ball by making the ball skinnier and longer. I squashed the ball by making the width wider when it touches the ground and made the height shorter.
