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.
