My project consists of Keegan, Mikela, Ana, and I, and our project is on GMO and pesticide use on Kauai specifically. So far we're doing okay, several bumps along the way but we're managing fairly well.
When the camera isn't rolling, you lose everything you thought you had, and you have to restart whatever you were doing, which is very bad.
To help my team, I can try harder and attempt to get more and better B-Roll.

Lessons Learned
The most interesting part of the project in my opinion is just how big it is. GMOs and pesticides aren't just something being introduced in Kauai, but being debated all over the world.
I would say our biggest roadblock was probably not having enough interviews, but we handled that well.
Finally, I would say the most valuable part of the filmmaking process is obtaining interviews with good information, audio, lighting, composition, and positioning.

The Experiment
On this assignment we were supposed to make something using Photoshop. The reason we did this assignment was to allow us students an OPPURTERNERTER to use Photoshop and experiment.
I thought the assignment was pretty great because we didn't have to be micromanaged because it was a plan with our own devising, but I thought it was reallyupsetting because I have no experience with Photoshop and I didn't really do anything because I spent my time trying to figure out what button does what, and (yes) fooling around a little (at least I'm honest, right?).

Back To School
What's up Blogger, I'm back in school (UNGHHHHHH), and I've had stuff (quite a bit of it) going on with me lately, but for now we'll stick to school (UNGH again). My best moment so far was probably the interviewing moment in Mr. Sanderl's class. I was applying for the Director position in Morning Club with Keegan as my competition. I wasn't entirely confident I would get the job (Keegan is a pretty great person and she's nice, and she has experience, whereas...I...don't, and am not), but I did my best during the interview. It was rather interesting, my palms were sweaty (knees weak arms were heavy), and every question was kinda nerveracking, but I'm probably exaggerating. It seemed to me as if he (Mr. Sanderl) would pick Keegan, but after the interview he said we would both be directors, and balance out each others issues for perfection in our roles, she's the Yin to my Yang I guess.
My biggest challenge lately was probably holding my tongue when people in school say stupid things to me, because most of the time the comments are insults easily picked apart, but there is quite an abundance of hatred toward me. I think if I want to be successful this year, I'm going to have to continue holding my tongue and ignoring insults, other than that I'm pretty much perfect (ONLY A LITTLE BIT OF NARCISSISM *sarcasm*).
