The Big Day

1st:
So what i observed from watching it for the first time, was kinda confusing so there was a woman who seemed to be getting ready for her wedding.Then there was a man in a car, and he seemed really determined to go somewhere. There were so many times when something was stopping him from going to where he was needed. Which was on his wedding day, he needed to get to the wedding on time and was driving really fast. So when he made it to the church he ran in thinking that the bride was waiting fro him, but turned out she was marring another man?

Who: Rachel & Ross

What: Trying to stop the wedding from happening

When: October 16th, 2010

Where: California

Why: Wedding day

How: The other guy in the car is trying to prevent the wedding from happening


2nd:
So what I observed the second time was that there was a woman with a happy face on, and was having her dress on her just getting ready. And then there is this other guy who is in a hurry trying to go somewhere. There are so many obstacles preventing him from join somewhere and when he finally makes it to the church he sees a woman getting married to some man.

Story:

On the day of October 16th, 2010, it was a gloomy rainy day. The wedding day of Rachel Green and Ross Giller. Rachel was getting all dressed up and with a happy face as the veil was being put on her head. But Ross was running a little late.

"I was over at my buddies, and overslept.I hopped in my car and I was driving as fast as I could."
Ross said

Ross was getting anxiety hoping to make it on time.

"Aww man, I need to hurry, no, no, no no!" (train passes in front of car)

Ross started to scream and shout with anger upon his face. He wished he went the other way he usually goes when driving with Rachel.

" I finally made it and pulled up to the church, jumped out of my car and ran up the stairs."

He ran as fast as he could and opened the doors with relief.

"I'm here! I'm here!, I--I,"

Ross' face dropped with sadness, it seems that it wasn't his wedding day. But it was Rachel and Chandlers Wedding. Chandler winked at Ross. 

"I got this one" Chandler said

Final Exam Preview Assignment

1. I read about all the skills I would most likely need in order to complete a movie. And it showed with pictures step by step how to do it. Which was very helpful, in order for me to succeed in this project.

2. I already knew that you could trim out specific things that you don't want, when making your "movie". Just to select the clip you want to trim, and to hold with the left click. After the yellow boarder is around the part you don't want anymore you let go of the left click, and then its gone.

3. There is something called an Event Library, and Project Timeline. And they may look the same but they do different things, and just that you cannot edit in the Event Library workspace.

4. That all my pictures are good enough to go through my slideshow. And just to make sure I do not mess up with iMovie, by being careful with what I choose to do so the final product will be good.

5. Some of my pictures, being ready to edit them good.

6. I would already know what I would do. I would do the whole day of me getting ready for the day of my Quincenera, and me at the party. What I did, and how everything looked on that day.

Portfolio analysis - how judges pick winning portfolios and sports photos

Part 1:

1. Photographer : Melissa Golden

General focus: Living life as an old person

Problems :
- most important part is out of focus
- too much going on
- Same type just different angles


Judges liked:
- everything needed to know in the picture was there (old man w/ cannula)
- some had amused them

I didn't really like her style of photography, it was pretty plain nothing that really got my attention. Or that made me want to see more of her work.


2. Photographer:Josh Birnbaum

General focus: Not just one focus, mostly about the people in the wheel chairs

Problems:
- needed a better angle
- had a dead look to it, boring all secondary pictures. Their was no emotion, that drew them in
- could have cropped it better

Judges liked:
- some gave a little laugh
- different faces in it

I thought their were a couple of pictures that were really good,  but then some just were no point in even taking a picture because it had no point. It seemed like he just needed a photo and took that. I didn't really like it that much.


3. Photographer: Alyssa Schukar

General focus: Eating disorder

Problems:
- not feeling the love or the pain the person is going through
- each picture almost the similar lens, feel, scene setters
- not enough strong singles

Judges liked:
- beautiful background, and the blue pastels
- seeing the girl with just her, and being able to see her legs (she's the main focus)

I thought the pictures were okay, but there were definitely at least two that i thought were really good, but it seemed like the photographer tried to capture feeling in the beginning but it just didn't work out like they hoped. It was okay I wasn't the biggest fan.

4. Winning Portfolio: Dustin Snipes

Judges thought were strengths:
- capturing good focus on the main subject
- capturing whats important, no side trash
- they thought the subjects were interesting

I thought were strengths: 
- Capturing moments really well
-getting those good angles that let you see it at a better view

Part 2: 

I agree w/ judges and describe:

Part 5: RUGBYTECH, i loved the way it looks in black and white, and the details from the dirt, and the hair coming out of his helmet. I like the way, its kinda rustic looking. The judges didn't say  much bout this picture but they just said is "God I love that picture" and I would agree with them on that.

Student of the Month Final

Who - Strader
What - Answers from Student of the Month
Where - James Bowie Highschool
When - March
Why - Student of the Month Interview
How - What they said in order to achieve this accomplishment

Strader Jackson, Bowie high school’s March Student of the Month gave us answers to why he received this month’s award. An award like this, isn’t so hard for a freshman like him. He doesn’t need to work so hard to get where he is now.

Not that surprising, coming from Student of the Month receiver,

“ I take all AP classes, ” Strader said.

We asked what does it take in order to receive an award like this “ Time, energy, and swag ” Strader said.

I asked freshman, Strader was it a challenge for him to become Student of the Month? And he said “Not really, because I’m better than everyone”

Now I had to ask, just to help out any kids interested in wanting to be student of the Month. Do you have any tips or tricks for getting good grades? “ Cheating, its easy to do ”

So Strader never really had a problem with school, or not many struggles overcoming anything to receive this award, by cheating and “ Having my parents taze me” really influences Strader to study hard and get good grades. He received $20,000 from his parents for receiving this title and award. But one of the worst things is “ Getting caught cheating.” Strader said.

For this student of the Month, his career goal is to become a “ movie star because I like to act ” but needing to keep those grades up so this athlete can continue to play basketball.

In conclusion, if you don’t get caught cheating, feel highly confident in your self, and believe in yourself, you can win the award of Student of the Month easily.
