In my last blog I talked about how a group of guys and I were going to make a group project over animal abuse. We made the video and we had to make many corrections on it. We had to find many different pictures of dogs that were abused and hurt. Some of the pictures that we used showed some of the dogs that were hurt severely and left in the cold. We had some of the people in the community that knew quite a bit on animal abuse talk about it. We had to come up with good questions and ask the people the questions. One of the people that we interviewed was a cop, Jason Wolfe, he talked about what he has seen throughout the years he has lived. He has not saw too much animal abuse, which is a good thing. In our community, we have a person that rescues boxers. Michelle Nix, and her husband has done so many things to help the breed of dog. Their family has rescued many boxers and saved their lives. Another person that we interviewed was an animal rescue member, Robin Buehler. She has done a lot to help dogs and other animals. We interviewed a couple other members of our community but we could not use all the interviews we got. In total we interviewed 5 people but only used 3 of those 5 interviews. We all contributed to make the video and I think it turned out pretty good. None of us knew too much about what to do to make the video so as we were doing the interviews and making the video we were learning many different and new things.

Isidro, Josh J, Josh B, Eric and I are all working on a group project. Our project is going to be about animals abuse. As of right now we have three interviews and we have a couple more on Thursday. We have interviewed a couple people that work at a vet clinic and someone who rescues dogs. The people we have interviewed have all said that they don't like people abusing animals and they think that if someone abuses animals no matter what kind of animal the person should be punished and go to jail or something like that. The interview on Thursday is going to be with some cops. One of the cops has a police dog and the other cop was/is the dog catcher. We are going to see what their opinions are on animal abuse and see what they think should happen to the people that abuse the animals. We may not use all of the interviews but I am not completely sure yet. All of us will be editing and we all had a job to do during this video. I had to set up all the interviews and I was the boss, Josh J has to interview the people, Josh B is the camera man and edits the video, Eric gets b-roll, Isidro is a camera man and he edits the video too.
YouTube made a new policy and because of this policy I lost my account that has all of the past videos that I have made. The videos in the past that I have created were some of my best videos that I have made. I will attempt to make a new YouTube account. I will put the new videos that I make and I may put my old videos on my new account. For the beginning of this year I have made one video so far but I am working on another video as of right now. The first video that I have made is a PSA (public service announcement) about the cell phone use in schools. My PSA went good and in my opinion is one of the best PSA’s I have made so far. That also includes all of the PSA’s I have made in the past years. But for my next video I’m thinking of doing another PSA. For this upcoming PSA video I was thinking about doing it over bullying or child abuse. I’m leaning more towards a child abuse PSA because children are being abused every day for no reason whatsoever and I think other people need to be aware of what’s going on. In my opinion I think that the parents that are abusing their children need to go to jail and stay away from children. Just because the children’s parents had a rough life and think that their children need to have the same life as them doesn’t mean they can abuse their children.
I am working on a softball promo video. I started working on my video last week and I've been working on it. I got some shots at practice and some other shots at a game. I think I'm going to put the shots I got of practice first then put the shots of the game next. I made sure to get all the girls that are playing softball in my video. I also had Lyndi Rumford get some shots of us girls at practice because I had to practice of course. Lyndi was injured and she didn't have anything to do so I just asked her if she could record some shots for me. The camera I used was my phone camera. I had to use my phone camera because I didn't want to break one of Mr. Holt's cameras. Mr. Holt gave me some ideas of what kind of shots to get and so I listened to him and got some of those shots that he said to get. I think my video is going to be pretty good once I am done with it. Also when I'm done with my video I will be posting it on here under Video.
I made a promotion video about band. I was working on the video for a couple days and it was going good. When I was almost done with my video it got deleted from my computer and I was not very happy. Mr. Holt tried to find it on my computer but he couldn't find it either. After we both looked for it Mr. Holt just decided to give me an A on it. He saw me working on it and knew I almost had it done so he just decided to give me a good grade on it. The band promo video I was working on was going to be a good video and I was really hoping to get it done and get started on my next project.
We did a project where we had to change the genre of a movie to the opposite of what it originally was. I did mine on the movie Marrowbone. It was originally a horror movie then I changed it to a happy movie. I think it turned out pretty good. It took about a week to do this project but we had fun doing it. I had to find the right kind of music and get the right clips out of the movie to make it a happy movie.
This week we did a six word story. We had to have six different shots and one word for each shot. They had to be 3-5 seconds long each and they couldn't be less than 3 seconds or more than 5 seconds. The whole video had to be 18-30 seconds long. My friends Stormy, Morgan, and Rosa helped me with my video. Stormy was the mean person that knocked Rosa's books out of her hand. Morgan was the nice person that helped Rosa pick the books up. Then Stormy didn't want to be in the video anymore so she wasn't in it. For the rest of the video Morgan and Rosa were the only two people in the video.
Our teacher Mr. Holt had us do another project called "stop motion". We had to watch videos on YouTube about stop motion. I watched many cool and different videos. There are a lot of people that are good at stop motion. You just have to have time if you are going to do stop motion. It took us about 2 weeks to get our stop motion videos done. My stop motion video was a sticky note stop motion. I made emojis, a face, and I said something with the sticky notes. This project was fun.
We did a couple new projects. One of the projects we did was on Premiere Pro. We had to do a "Did you know" video. We had to find an article about something that would be interesting and I did mine about animals. Mine was about how your pets help you stress less. I found some pictures of dogs, cats, birds, and a couple other different kinds of pets. My video is on YouTube if you want to watch it.
We just finished a partner project and my partner was Abbie LeBeau. We did our project with our dogs in it. Our dogs were playing with each other and they ran across the street to my cousins and only one of them made it and the other one got ran over. My dog Rollo and Abbie's dog Bailey were the two dogs that were in our video. We had a lot of fun making the video. Neither of our dogs would listen to us and they kept running away from us but we finally got them to listen to us by getting treats. A good thing probably would've been that my two cousins cooperated and they did really good.
