This week!

I was happy to learn how to finally use the cameras! I was hoping to start using them soon!

I was frustrated when the camera refused to focus on a leaf. It took my a little bit to figure it out, but I finally did after so note re-reading.

I'm looking forward to doing some combat fighting videos. :D That is going to be so exciting to me!

I learned this week, that team work and planning things out ahead of time is going to be a very important thing to get down to a tee.

I thought this was a very good video for anyone interested in doing a murder scene or anything along the lines of gore. It is a very good idea within itself. It's affordable and a great way to make this effect seem real in a way.

Ermmmm..... Derp.

Correction on the princesses name, Sofia...

Anyways, I didn't know that actors were a main important piece to making a good film, I knew they were important, but not like that. I also didn't know that Directors do so little but get so much fame because of it. I thought that they actually were a big part in everything.

I thought that this article was very informing on WHAT a director really is. I also liked how it said a little bit of explaining on how to talk to actors and the people the director is to be working with. That would be extremely helpful in the long run. Especially since it mentioned that expressing what you want the viewers to feel is the most important.

My only question would be, Why do directors get most of the fame when a film is made?

You learn something new everyday..

I never really noticed that Disney tried making diverse princesses. So that was very interesting to find out. I didn't know that there was an issue with a princess being Latina. What's the issue with that? As an added thing, I thought that Disney movies WERE based off of different places around the world, not just little bits and pieces.

I thought that this article was very informing on the situation with the new princess. I really had no clue that there was going to be a new one. Who is of mixed heritage nonetheless. I thought that it was very good in seeing that there was a new princess being introduced. I think Sophia will do a great job in showing the "melting pot" that is so desperately needed in the world.

My question is, Where there every be a Disney story about a girl in poverty?

It's that time again!

I was interested in the shows Ms. Licata had us watch on Friday. I was also happy with the fact that I manage to find a documentary topic that so many would be willing to help me with. I'm very content.

I was sad to find out that I ALMOST got a 100 on a project but just missed it. :(

I learned that there are some pretty cool things that can be done in Premier.

I want to learn how to use a green screen and stage fight. That would be so rad!

I got frustrated by my audio scavenger hunt thing. I was worried we weren't going to turn it in on time.

I liked how nicely she explains how to do the makeup. It's very informing. I also thought that this would be great as a little peek into makeup that can be done in videos.

They want what??

I had no clue that people were being expected to give up their networking information. I didn't know action was being taken to stop it. I also didn't know that it was a big issue.

I like knowing about this situation. I also like knowing that laws are being passed to protect people's privacy against these things.

Why did this even begin?

Why didn't he do this when I was bald????

I had no clue that there was such unique pictures like this! Nor did I know that pictures could be taken by a sound trigger. And I had no clue that that pictures could be taken within a millisecond.

I thought this was a very interesting post. I would really enjoy seeing this done with women.

Can he give me a water mohawk the next time I buzz my head???

Joss Whedon

Okay, so right off the bat I didn't know that he made two movies that I LOVE.  I didn't know that he directed the Avengers, and I didn't know that his tips would actually be very helpful in the way that they were.

I liked how the tips were helpful in the way that a person can improve. I thought the tip about the drought before the rain was very interesting. How he pretty much says, Be patient, and it will come.

My only question would be, "Which tip would you suggest a person to follow the most?"

I fangirl over Tim Burton

I never knew that Tim Burton had made Frankenweenie originally as a short film. I didn't know that he incorporated his own life into it. Nor did I know that people needed to make tiny clothes for his stop motion characters that would be easy to move in. I assumed that material would already be easy enough.

I thought that the article was very informing about the film and the story behind it. I also found it interesting as to how many aspects were needed to make a stop motion which they claim to be "simple".

My only question would be, Has Burton ever incorporated his own life into any of his other films?

What happened this week!

I learned this week that there are a lot of interesting things that can be done using JUST sound and audacity.

I hope to learn on how to use a green screen! I think that would be really awesome! :)

What I was frustrated with this week was the lack of certain sounds that one would think to be plentiful.

What made me happy this week? I turned in an assignment on time, BEFORE ALEX.

I thought that the style and the story were really cute and interesting. The style has a very unique twist t it that I think would be awesome for children.
