As I was making my Oregon video,
There were ups and downs. For starters when we got to Cabala’s we had a tour. After the tour Mr. Hughes said we had 20 minutes to browse. I asked, “Wait do I have only 20 minutes to film?”
He said, “Yes, so you better hurry.”
So, I rounded up Alec, Jess, and Neema and got to work.
We started with Brick ( aka Alec) walking through the front doors and him being amazed then got him to browse some multi tools, camo, some fishing rods, and the archery section. Then as he is browsing, he stumbles across an ATV we got him to look really happy and hop on. We filmed him imagining he is riding it having a good time. Then we filmed him looking at his watch and realizing it was time to go. To finish, we filmed him walking sombrely to the exit.
We finished in 17 minutes. After filming I thought to my self all the hard parts over but I was wrong.
When we returned from the trip we had the weekend to chill and recuperate. When we got to school I found out that the hard part was making the movie perfect (more or less). I put my footage into I movie. Just raw footage I had 4 minutes and 20 seconds and thought dang if it’s not five minutes I could loose marks. Then another thought accrued to me, if I make the movie spectacular I could make up for a short video. I went to Neema, my audio guy and asked him how do I use I movie.
He said,”Well you put film in and edit it.” I didn’t quiet get it, so he showed me how to use IMovie. We edited the movie a bit then Ms. Willems asked to see my draft. I showed it to her and she said it was the best so far but you can make it even better. After school I came home. I ran into trouble editing. So I asked my brother he helped me sort out how to split footage and work the sound and make my movie better with the knowledge he gave me.
I began working hard and long to make my video even better.
When I watched my work, some of the sounds glitched and I had to redo all the sound to make it good again. I worked and worked and I finally got it to sound perfect. I watched the video and smiled and thought it’s perfect. I came to school the next day ready to present I was told I wasn’t first and had to wait. The first person went up. Ms. Willems asked, “What was the hardest part in making your video and what was easy?”
They replied saying, “The hardest part was making it five minutes and I didn’t get it to five minutes, and to put the photos in.” At that moment I pondered the question, I didn’t know. Then the next person got up and said the same thing and played their video and I still did not know what was hard and what was easy. Down the line of presenters an idea came to me. Then the teacher called my name and she realized we were out of time. She gave our instructions for the weekend we were to post the video on you tube, put the link on are blog along with a 100-150 word paragraph about how it was easy and how it was hard.
As I was wrote about the making of my video, I remembered what was hard and what was easy. My closing lines reveal my ups and downs of my creation, now posted on my blog.

Easy: filming, putting all the footage in and arranging it in order.

Hard: to put in the sound and music was a pain, it glitched and then I had to fix it, it took long enough to get it right the first time, the second time was thankfully a bit faster.
