MY BLOG SECTION WILL CONTAIN REFLECTIONS ABOUT DIFFERENT UNITS WE DID IN CLASS.
Dang! This was a very a very stressful 2 weeks since the march 10th deadline. There was spring break, but after that I got right back into it. I started off by helping out with Amanda's movie for a few days, but I probably should have been working on my project. I had 2 interviews scheduled with MCBC members both to be a week before the deadline. One canceled, and one had family issues and said they would come next week. Sure enough, they couldn't make it. A couple days before that I was on my phone and class and told him I was waiting for my interviewee to email me back. My teacher replied with, "never wait, it is a very bad strategy." Sure enough he was right and after the interviewee canceled, I was left with 3.5 days to make a project. I had to spend 1 whole seminar period, 1 lunch, and 1 S.S. period (s/o to Dr. Lyons) to work on the new project. But I met the deadline, and I think I made a darn good video. (Especially considering the circumstances.) Next month i know that the class is making a Ladue View which im extremely exited for, especially because I signed up for the class solely because I saw them making one last year (8th grade) and it looked awesome! My video this month is on a school parking lot, but don't let it fool you, because it is very interesting!

For my halfway point project in March, I did a short, informational piece on a Biology project that my grade recently completed. At first, I wanted to create a short video on just dangerous diseases in our community. However, with the information that my teacher (Mr. Goble) gave us, I realized that i needed to make something that related more to my audience. I quickly though that I could tie my original idea to in school projects so my video appeals to more people. What I learned during this project was 2 things. The first, is that everything that you do in this business is about content. The more you have, the more opportunities you have to better yourself and your projects. Second, is organization. Many of the pictures in the video was from my project that I did in science class. However, even when i knew I was doing a video on it, I often left the binder/babybook in my sister's car or at my house. If I had it to film earlier, then I would have finished the whole project earlier. Had that happened, I could have started on something else to create more CONTENT.
