I've written a few screenplays but that's really all the work I've done all summer. I did watch a ton of movies. I'm excited to see what this year has in store. I'm determined to make it an awesome year.

5/20/2021 0 Comments May 20, 2021So I forgot about my blogs! This year was underwhelming for me. I had so many expectations for my projects and they didn't turn out how I wanted. But hey, you gotta start somewhere! Today is the last day of the school year and in just a couple of hours, I'm going to be a senior. It's time to start thinking about my future. I've decided that for college, I'm going to major in film and minor in journalism. I'm so excited for next year. To finish out the year, Brynna and I did a senior recap rapid fire style project. I'm posting it on my youtube now! See you next year!
8/31/2020 0 Comments August 31, 2020Hey! I haven't posted a blog since last December. School got cancelled back in March. On my quarantine break, I watched a lot of movies. My favorites were Get Out, Into the Spider-verse, and Booksmart. The band project I was working on ended up getting third in the KAB documentary contest. I'm pretty proud. This year I really want to work on artsy short films. The cinematography has to be excellent. I figured out that I really want to work in film. Screenplay writing is what I find most interesting. I've also found that I'm really interested in the horror genre. I think Hereditary is a MASTERPIECE!! I'm really excited to see what I can do. Right now, I'm working on a podcast with Brynna. It's called "We're Shy." I'm excited to see how it turns out. I think it's gonna be really good.
12/17/2019 0 Comments December 17, 2019Hi! I'm just stopping by for a quick update. I'm still working on the band project. I kind of had to put it away to work on a group project. This group project stressed me out! I agreed to work on it because I was missing my B-Roll for m\the band project. When I finally got it, I started working on that again. About a week and a half before the group projects were due, Mr. Holt told me that I was still on the group project. I freaked out! The group project was a profile story on Mrs. Price, our counselor. So with a week and a half to go, I quickly got back into working on the project. It was hard because only one person could edit at a time. So while one person was editing, the other two were just sitting there. I wanted to do something! We eventually got it done and it turned out pretty good. I don’t have a set deadline for me band project but since there’s only a few days until winter break, I’m just going to take a break. I just have to import a few things so I think I should be able to finish the first week back.
11/20/2019 0 Comments Sophomore year!I'm back! I haven't written anything since last May! That's crazy. This summer was pretty boring if I'm being honest. I just worked. I think in one of my earlier blogs, I talked about going to Summit in Florida. Well my cheer team went and for a first year team, we did pretty good! We were 14th out of 150 teams. I think that's really it for interesting summer things. School started back in September and the only thing that's really changed is that I'm a sophomore now. I keep forgetting that I'm not a freshman. Anyways in Digital Media, the only project I've been working on is a profile story\documentary type video on my friends band. this project has been fairly easy. The hardest part is getting other people to cooperate with me. The lead singer of the band took FOREVER to get a practice together. I needed my B roll! Another struggle was getting my friends to be quiet for the interviews. I love them to death, but getting them to be quiet was so hard. I think in all of the interviews, you can hear one friend talking or laughing! It's okay though, my editing skills have gotten pretty good, so I don't think you even notice it now! My favorite thing about the project though, is getting to spend time with my friends. Last year. I kind of alienated myself from them. This project has allowed me to grow closer with them again (and even make some new friends!) Okay, I think that's about all I have to say. I'll try to update as often as possible :)
4/23/2019 0 Comments Update.we haven't worked on any projects lately but we've started learning how to use the tricaster. At first I struggled. I'm getting the hang of it now. Some good news: I only have this week and next week of school and then I'm done!! I'm so excited. It's been a very long year.
4/1/2019 0 Comments ASMR videoOur ASMR was so much fun to make. We wanted to do something different. ASMR is really popular on social media. Rhiley and I shot four different videos because I couldn't stop laughing. We ended up using the second video, even though I was looking at Rhiley the WHOLE time!! Editing this was so much fun. We were looking through the effects and trying to make our video different. I was trying out a distortion effect and when I saw it, I burst out laughing. It was so funny! I put that effect over some of the clips. I'm really happy with how this project turned out. (I'll remember to look at the camera next time!)
3/8/2019 0 Comments Parallel EditThis one one of our first projects. Then, it was hard to match the shots and get the order right. Now that I think about it, it wasn't that hard. I've definitely come a long ways since then!!
3/8/2019 0 Comments Chase SceneThis was so much fun to shoot. I've found that I'm pretty good at writing scripts. I'm super proud of how it turned out. (I felt so professional!!) Getting the shots was a lot of fun. The scenes where Rhiley had to carry me on her shoulder were hard to shoot. Originally, there was a stunt but after we saw the space we had, we had to take it out. My favorite part is definitely the western music. I want all my projects to have a little bit of humor, so the western music was kind of the finishing touch.
3/8/2019 0 Comments Dog Abuse PSAThis PSA was one of the easier projects. Rhiley was my partner and we already had plenty of shots of our dogs. So we just had to put them together. We wanted to make it really dramatic so we added sad music and tried to make the audio dramatic. I really enjoyed this project.
