Movie Poster Promo




The main characters that is in my poster is Courtney Evermore and Taylor Evermore. Taylor Evermore is Courtney Evermore's sister and the only one in the family who remembers her. She is an adopted child. Courtney Evermore is the main character in our movie trailer. She plays the roll of the girl who disappear.  They are in the woods and Taylor's back is on the tree and Courtney's back is facing the other side of the tree.

Our title is Gone and Forgotten and we got this tittle from the plot in our movie trailer. The plot in our movie trailer is Courtney Evermore disappear out of no where and nobody except some people remember her. Other text that is in my movie poster is the characters in our trailer and what they are playing in our movie trailer. I also have movie reviews, and the characters that is in the movie trailer. Kerning is spacing the letters so it can fit in one sentence. We use kerning so the sentence can fit in one line.

The overall impact that my effects did is that it made my text pop. The effects I use one my text are stroke, drop shadow and bevel and emboss. On my picture I put a filter on. The filter made my picture look really dark but it also make it look like its from the old movie. I think that the filter I use made my text pop out.

Proactive or Procrastination?


To be honest I am a procrastinator. I am a procrastinator because when we have a lot of homework I always do them at the last minute. When we have a project due in 2 weeks I always do them the week it is due. Usually when I have homework on a Friday I don't do them until Sunday.  When I decided to do my work I always end up on my phone or on my computer watching random videos. Sometimes I will be doing my work after school and 3 hours later I would probably end up watching a random cat video. Every time I want to do my work and try to focus my parents want me to help my brother with his homework or do something they want me to do.

I use a lot of my free time to do homework or projects because when I use my homework time to just sit in my couch and watch t.v. When I have free time I never really use it because I haft to do my chores or help my brother. Usually I have a little bit of free time after I finished doing my homework since it takes me forever to do. It takes me a long time to do my homework even if I have only a little bit. A lot of times when I have homework to do over the weekend I usually do them at like 8:00 on a Sunday night.

I am not only a procrastinator at home I am also a procrastinator at school. For example when my group was suppose to be working on our trailer plan I was taking pictures. Another example of me being a procrastinator in school is that when I was taking to my elbow partner about something in another class  I was suppose to be doing my class work that I didn't finish the other day. I think that I procrastinate at school more than at home. Even though I finish a lot of my homework at school I still procrastinate more at school than home because I rush doing my work.

Something I could change about my work habits is that I can move to a quiet place. Other things I can do is when I am doing my homework is that I can take a 5 minute break one in a while. I could also do my homework right after I come home. Something I can also do is to try be organized my work area. I could do other thing like working outside in my yard or in a peaceful place.

My Visual Poem



My visual poem is about friendship. It was also about how we spend time together and how our bond is strong. How we get along with each other and how we can act like our self with each other. I have a group of friends who are crazy, weird, loud, and who laughs a lot. I think the visuals make my poem alive. It shows what my poem is all about. Even though I couldn't get some clips that will match the words in my poem I still think that it turned out pretty good. The visuals made an impact to my poem because it showed what I was trying to say.

I think the special effects I added made my poem more friendly. I had a couple of transitions in the beginning and in the end. I added the ken burns affect to a lot of my photos and I think I made them look like it wasn't just a photo but more like a video without movements. The affects made the mood more friendly. I didn't add that much effects because I only started putting effects at last minute.

I am satisfied with my poem because I like the way it turned out. When I finished my poem and watched it, I was really happy with how it turned out. My poem turned out better than I thought it would. I could make my poem better by adding more B-roll and adding more transitions and effects. I could also say my poem again because there were some sounds in the background. I am really satisfied with how my poem turned out in the end.

Finished News Story


Our story was about health and obesity rate. It talked about why people should be more fit and about their healthy life. The people who contributed in this was Kyla BautistaDenae Sacramed, and our team leader Maddie Hoesel. The people we interview was Missy Hoesel, Maddie's mom, Josh Nations, and Heidi Tokuda.

The final turned out really good. I really like how it turned out. The final turned out better then I thought. I think that it was hard working on this project because it was a new to me. It was also hard working on this project because after Maddie left for vacation we had to figure out what we can do to make the video better without our team leader. But I believed that we did the best we could do.

T6: Health & Obesity Rate in Hawaii by Maddie, Kyla, Jhoanna, Denae

I agree with the results because I think there was still things we can improve in and things we can fix.

Real World Report


This article is about how they want baby George to have an ordinary life without people invading his privacy. The couple has raised concerns about the third in line to the British throne's privacy. It started when an incident happened in a park where Prince William was concerned that an individual was watching his sons everyday life daily routines. Kate and Prince William said that while the prince is young he should have an ordinary life. They have issued a strong warning to protect their one year old son after the concerns that he was being monitored. 

I think that they did that because they just want to protect their son just in case something might happen to him. I also think they have a right to tell the media that they would not want them invading their son's privacy. I think that every kid should have and ordinary life even if they are going to be the third in line to the British throne. Every one should have their own privacy and they should not be invaded. I belive that they were just trying to protect him. 

People should care about this because they are warning that they do not want their son's privacy invaded. They should also care about this because other people would not want their children's privacy invaded.

Lessons Learned

The most interesting part of my project is working with new people. It is interesting to me because I have never worked with a 7th grader before. Also something interesting about this project is going places and taking interviews about our project. I think it is interesting because you get to learn new stuff from what the interviewers are saying and at the same time you get spend some time with your friends after school, or sometimes in school.

Our biggest roadblock that my group handled is when we didn't have a mic for the interview we were doing. I think it is the biggest roadblock because we were interviewing a gym leader and the place we were interviewing that  person was at his gym. In the gym there was loud music so it was hard for us to find a good place to interview him. We handled it by taking a video of him on Maddie's phone. I also think that another roadblock is editing because only one of knew how to edit and that was Denae. Maddie our group leader has been teaching us how to edit so we know how to edit it by ourself.

The most valuable part of film making is the editing. I think it is true because it help us cut the things we don't need in the video. I also think it is the most valuable part of film making because it will help us make the video shorter.

Hiki No Behind The Scenes


 The project I am doing is health and obesity rate in Hawaii. I think that our project is going well because we have good interview and good b-roll. I think that we have good interview questions and the people we are interviewing are good for our project. I think we are making progress in our work.

 When the camera is not rolling we are are usually talking,watching the video we took or we are discussing what we are going to do next and making plans for our next interview. When the camera is not rolling we are also discussing some different questions we might ask the person. When its not rolling we might be setting up the camera or telling the person what kind of question we are going to ask them. We can also be talking about some other stuff, making jokes and laughing at them.

 One thing that I can do to help out my team is that I can help make more interview questions for an interview we are going to do or help set up the camera sometimes when the other people are setting up the mic and the tripod.

The experiment

The photoshop experiment is where we try and figure out what to do in photoshop. I think we did it so we know what is photoshop and how to use it. Something I did right is using my paintbrush tools to draw on my paper. Something I did wrong is trying to use some of the tools because I did not know how to use some of them. Also I had trouble figuring out how to get a sheet of paper for the first few minutes.   

Back to school

My favorite moment is when I got to see all my friends again. My biggest challenge was trying to find my classes on the first day of school, and meeting new people from different schools. Also working with new people is very challenging to me because I don't know them that much. I will try my best to do all my work and turn them in on time, and I will also take my last years teachers advice so I can be successful this year.
