Hey guys it is December of 2019! It is crazy because the time has passed so quickly yet it felt like an eternity. A fair amount has happened as I have finished another video and this time I was partnered with Ashleigh. I honestly put in a good deal of effort in making a video on teacher salary and our school raising their starting pay along with staff raises. Not only that but I have started helping with our school's broadcast team know as BBN Network. Granted I am only an extra help, but I have had fun with the people on the team and it makes our school basketball games a bonanza! I cannot leave out another cool detail that recently has happened. You may not know this but I have recently purchased a vehicle. If you are a motor head then allow me to boast. It is a 2009 BMW 328i in the "Mediterranean Metallic Blue" with a normal inline V6 engine. I never liked to speed on the highway, but I do it all the time in this beauty. In addition, if you are wondering what has happened to all my previous videos, they have been deleted off YouTube due to some new guidelines they have made and I will be trying my best to recover them!

Hey, people it has been a while since I have last blogged, but all I have to say it has been fun! :) I have finished my project about our town not having a soccer program and I have to say I am glad on how it turned out too! It took me excessively long to finish it, but I had many bumps in the road like technical failure, corrupted files, lost files, corrupted sound, and the whole 9 yards! It is finished now, but I will edit it later when I get time and make a few changes to the B-roll I have and backgrounds for my interviews! Now with that out of my way, I have been partnered with the wonder Ashleigh and we are now doing a project about teacher salaries. A huge issue has been ongoing for several years and even decades. So far we have secured some interviews and sound bytes, but there is still some sauce missing in the pot :0. The months have been passing and I have had time to realize that even the essence of time is quick! It has been four school years of me taking this class and even then, I've grown exponentially from my freshman year. I've learned to appreciate the quality of sound design, camera work, positioning, etc. My birthday was two days ago, as of writing this blog, and I am now 18 years old. Wow, I am old.
It's been a long time since I've been here guys! I'm also glad I'm back. You might be asking why I've been gone for so long, hopefully you are :), life happened guys. For my Junior year of High School, I did not have this class in my schedule until the last semester ,but with the work of the majestic divine Mrs. Price, I managed to get squeeze this class in again. Wrestling season was also coming towards an end but still interfered with my schedule of making videos. I started on a project trailer for a video that will come out next year, a parody of the Blair Witch Project. This will be a fun one to start next year as I really hope to out due any other project with this one. Another idea that I want to continue is creating a skit show that can run around weekly. If you want some reference to what I'm thinking of making go on youtube and search up "loiter squad". The biggest project that I've been doing is a soccer news story. It covers why our school doesn't have a soccer team. See you guys next year!
So far so good because I finished my project. One thing that really slowed me down was that I focused lots of time trying to create the soundtrack for my video. At first, it was great because I used FL Studio but I couldn't use it because to save anything, you must have a paid version of it. The program was really cool...and expensive. Then, I used Acid Music Studio, but I didn't like it as it was kind of restricting because I could only use sounds and loops within the program and not create my own. I finished my project and I'm happy with it.
We have been given ultimate freedom on our last project. This will be our final project and I plan to do mine on benefits of physical activity. I will also try a new thing out and that is making music for my video. I will use FL Studio and Acid Music Studio to make a song. Hopefully it all goes well.
We have finished our last projects and now we begin on another short project. We will make videos called, "Did You Know." and those will be broadcasted on our local TV channel. We make this informational videos for the people that watch and our main audience are the people at the retirement home. I happened to do mine on the cleanliness of your dog's mouth. You can go check my video on the videos tab.
So far so good... I think? This month has been great, except for the homework! I've spent half of the month fixing two projects to submit for state. Hopefully the judges like them and if they don't, at least they grade them and leave notes for you as why you got the score you got. This will help continue making my videos better. Another good thing in this month that happened is the end of wrestling season! The project that I've been working on this month is a psa about child abduction, if you're curious, check it out in the video section! To me it doesn't look the best, but other people like it and I'm happy with that.
It's a new year and a fresh start for 2018! The years are going by quick but the hours are here to stay. This month was alright as Christian and I made a project together about role models and how they effect us. I did the audio for it and Christian was the man who edited the video. It turned about a bit short but nonetheless, it's fine. Now heading into February with time to think of a new project. Maybe a skit, a psa, who knows since there are no restrictions and I surely will have fun with whatever I think of!
These two months have been horrible and pleasant for many reasons. First off, my birthday was in November and now I am officially 16! It's good and bad because I'm older and that's also the reason it's a good thing... I also became really sick during November and it was a mess. I was sick for a whole week of school! I missed so much and was so behind and I needed to catch up. Then my car was wrecked into the month before and they fixed it now. but it too a few weeks before they can do anything and so I had no car for like two weeks. I also had to come with an idea and that took a while, but when I did I came up with a good idea for the video.
Moving to December, I started working on my video and it took a while to finish it because I was gone for a day because I sprained my foot and then It took a while to find some B-roll. When I got everything, it took a while for it to click because I had troubles with the interviews. I couldn't find or know how to use them as sound bytes. Wrestling also took time from this project. A good thing about this project was I worked hard on it and it might not be amazing, just know I worked hard on it because I was behind on it. This month was certainly weird than any others. It was hot and cold, even snow! We had to come up with an idea on a news story to do. I partnered with Christian and we did them on high school sports injuries. I was sick for four days and we fell a bit behind because of that. I came back and we did finish with just enough time. I really appreciate Christian for working hard while I was gone and I give him all the credit for it.
