THE DEADLINES...DUN...DUN..DUN....

12/13/2013

0 Comments

 
The deadlines are getting closer...the stress is getting stronger; bigger. The sweat dripping from my face, leaving a puddle of worry. Wow, that  sounded like the first sentences of a prologue or something. Well anyways, for this week's required blog post, I will be writing a project update on my 2nd quarter project. In this blog I will be telling you first, about me and my partner's 2nd quarter project, then how it is going so far.


Well to start this blog off, It would be a good idea to tell you what my project is about. My partner Lilly and I are doing our 2nd quarter project on Styrofoam containers, take out containers, you know that kind of things. So there are 2 organizations, "Zero Waste" and "Kauai Surfrider Foundation" which first teamed up in 2009 to remove the use of plastic bags in shopping markets and stores and replace them with paper bags and/or reusable bags. These 2 foundations are teaming up again, but this time, for the removal of Styrofoam containers in restaurants and replacing them with biodegradable and compostable alternatives.


We have gotten 3 interviews, of Pat Gegen, Allison Fraley, and Gordon LaBedz and transcribed them both, a while back. I thought Allison's interview came out really nice, however Gordon's and Pat's I thought we could improve on. There was a shadow on Pat's face and the background of Gordon's were in focus.   We got our scripts revised and got it approved from Mr.Matsunaga.


Right now we are working on editing. Because Lilly did the Voice Overs last quarter, It was my turn to do it this quarter. So today, I recorded the voice overs. I admit, I don't really speak clear and I don't really sound enthusiastic, so Lilly gave me some helpful tips. I'm not sure how well I did, but I hope I sounded okay, as VO are pretty important, and a big part in the grading rubric. One thing we really need more is B-roll. At the moment we don't really have much good b-roll so I would like to get more of that, so I took a camera and a tripod home and I hope I can get some decent shots over the weekend.


Overall, with our projects due on Tuesday, and our radios due on the same week, it's a stressful time. But, it's possible, and I believe with hard effort, and good teamwork, we can turn this in on time, and do a good, maybe even a great job. Goodbye to   you all.......

CKTV Breakfast

So as you all know, on Sunday it was our big CKTV Breakfast, and also our very own classmate's birthday! So happy belated birthday to him! Well anyways,  back to our Breakfast. It was pretty fun! The CKTV breakfast consists of Games, Raffle Tickets, lucky door prizes, live entertainment, bingo, and of course, Breakfast! This was my first year working the breakfast, obviously, but I've been to the breakfast last year and it was delicious and fun. I had to wake up at 4 in the morning, and believe me, I am not a morning person. We got to eat breakfast, containing of eggs, sausage, ham, rice, fruits (watermelon & orange); miso soup and some drinks. Anyways....I was working Games with Kelli, Nicole, Kaden, and Kai. We directed people to the entrance, said hello, thanked them for coming, and wished them a wonderful breakfast...oh and did I mention we were also working games? I was working bean bag toss tic-tac-toe; where you toss a bean bag standing from a certain distance and you try to get 3 in a row, either diagonally, vertically, or 3 in a row slanted. At the end of the breakfast, we helped clean up and then we got to play in the library while the parents drew the tickets from the $2 raffle tickets. I must say, there was some pretty good prizes! Some prizes are: Go Pro Hero 3+, TV, a Coffee Maker, iRobot, gift certificates and many more! We played a couple of games of Hide-and-Go-Seek, freeze tag, and Hide-and-go-Seek-Freeze-tag. Well anyways, that was our CKTV breakfast fundraiser! I hope we raised a lot, or enough money for our tre

It's Christmas Time!

12/7/2013

It's that time of the year again! It's December and the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer, which means more time for Christmas Movies! Hot Cocoa, tiny marshmallows, and a big bowl of popcorn, getting into the holiday spirit. Christmas trees, Lights, parades, Presents under the tree are all about Christmas! My favorite Christmas movie would be "The Santa Clause".  Another one of my favorite Christmas movies is "Home Alone 2: Christmas" where Kevin gets lost in New York.

The Santa Clause is one of my favorite Christmas movie because it's just a fun, 
movie that gets you into the holiday spirit!! It's also a kind of movie for the 
whole family, it's not to childish or kiddish. The Santa Clause is a movie about just a normal, ordinary man, who becomes the one and only Santa Clause, by involuntarily killing Santa Clause from falling off of Scott Calvin's roof. The Body then disappears and a card is found inside Santa's clothing; which states that if something should happen to Santa, whoever finds the clothes must put them on and get inside his sleigh. Scott's son, Charlie convinces his father to do so, so he does and Scott doesn't know it yet, but he just became Santa! He begins to gain weight and to grow a beard, and every time he attempts to shave it, it just grows back again!


Home Alone 2 is one of my favorite Christmas movie because it's funny and 
clever!! When I was younger, I could watch Home Alone all day long. The Plot of the Home Alone Movies is that "Kevin" and his family is once again separated, but this time; instead of going with the McCallister's family to Miami, Kevin ends up in New York, with his Dad's Bag containing Peter's (dad) wallet that consists of a large amount of money . One of my favorite parts of Home Alone is when Kevin's older brother, Buzz, embarrasses Kevin in the School Christmas Pagent, during his solo and things go terribly wrong; total madness. All of the students fall, and the decorations fall on the piano player. Kevin get's very angry and resentful, and doesn't want to go to Flordia. The McCallister family overslept, and were going to miss there flight. Kevin gets lost and follows a man with a case, that looks identical to Kevin's Dad, from the back. As Kevin once again gets seperated between his family over miles and miles, he does not realise they are on different planes, going to different locations, until later. As Kevin lands in New York, he scores a room at this hotel using his Dad's credit card. But, Kevin has gotten in trouble with two bandits, Marv and Harry. And that's where the adventure begins; with traps and clever set-ups, danger fills the air.



My last favorite Christmas movie I will talk about is "The Polar Express". Polar Express is a old movie, but it is one of my favorite because it just gets me into the Holiday Spirit and fun for the whole family. On Christmas Eve, a boy starts to doubt Santa Claus. A conductor invites him to come on board the Polar Express, and that it will lead to the North Pole. With some hesitation at first, he gets on, and joins other children. And at the end, his belief in Santa is restored and the children gets presents.



Well that's about it! My favorite Holiday movies are, "The Santa Clause", "Home Alone 2: Christmas Edition/ Lost in New York", and "The Polar Express". They are all just a fun, hilarious, family movies. What are your holiday movies that you recommend? (Because I don't watch that much movies....mostly only television shows). Have a nice day, Byee Everyone!

We Are All So Secretive...

12/6/2013

The holidays are here! The smell of Christmas trees, colorful bright lights, and wreaths on doors; blow-up Santa's and Elves are all about my favorite holiday......That's right! Christmas! So as you all know, everyone in the Media Class will be participating in Secret Santa! So for all those people that don't know who Santa is, he is a person who lives in the North Pole and eats your cookies and drinks all your milk.....oh and did I mention he also brings gifts/presents to all the good boys and girls in the world; which are made by his Elves! He has 2 lists, and he checks them twice, ones a naughty and ones a nice. These two lists contains all the naughty children and all the nice ones. If you are a good child, then you will be given presents on Christmas. However, If you are a bad child through out the year, you will receive coal. So what Secret Santa is, is that we all act as someone else's Santa, and we get them a gift within $5 and $10. I'm  Secret Santa for [insert random name here]. I still don't know what to get him/her, but I have some ideas in mind. Have you gotten your person's gift yet? If you haven't, Good Luck, and Happy Holidays! Be a good person and Keep updated for my next "Christmas-y" Blog about my favorite Holiday Movies! Goodbye!! :)
