last blog.

filming a music video was easy. lyrics and song choice was difficult. filming the music video was just ike filming a regular video, but you had to put more dancing or singing in it. i enjoyed it all about the same. i never really looked or read the rubic :) sorry. the easiest part of filming is just filming it in general. the most diffucult part was trying to figure out movements for the parts of the song, and acting it out. brandon hattton was out group leader - he was a good leader, he made our group organized. i cant choose who was the best because everyone has the things that they are good at.

blog twelve.

not realllly, but i liked creative writing. i think the films helped more. i dont have any questions about the french and indian war. hm, genre of music is important ; but so is topic. but the music can help with the topic - so i reallly dont know :)

blog eleven.

i thought that when dinwiddie and the virginia legislature agreed that french rejection of british demas was a hostile act and that the french had to be drove out of there frontier forts. i would rather write a 2 page essay, but i would also do a blog. so i dont reallly know :) uhm, one part of my thanksgiving was we ate and they did that in the 1700's :D

blog ten.

i liked learning about the different colonies. and how they all had different parts. kelsey and her groups film was interesting. when the films talk about the people, i remember them better for the test. music videos, thats crazy :) but im excited it willl be interesting.

blog 9.

film making is easier because we all know what were doing and how to use the movie maker. some problems im still running into is staying focused and not wandering off from my group. i think videos help me understand better what the section is about. our leader was me & i didnt really do much leading ; but thats fine with me. i would like to see brandon as the leader because it seems like he knows what he's doing. i would like to try and do a spongebob theme, but i know that would take much longer than a week :)

blog 8 :)

wellll, i havent taken the test yett & ill do that tomorrow. i dont have my book, once agian :D
our topic is something about crops and cash crops and staple crops. i i got to choose it would

a early colony in new england is new york it was small, but had many opportunites for jobs & what not.

If you could give the power point then lecture a 1 - 10 rating 1 being the highest. What would you choose? and Why?

Was there anything in particular that you disliked or really liked about the lessons this week?
- i didnt like how the movie pocahontas was ruined for me, but ill get over itt. :D

If you could have been apart of any country's team of explorers (that we have discussed in Chapter 3) which would it have been and why?
- prob. spain, cause they seemed like they knew what they were doing & what they needed to do.

If your group had a change, what is your reaction to the group change?
- my group did have a change & im 'cited :) - justin & brandon are funnny :)
but im still the only girl. :(

If you were to give your film a rating from 1 out of 10 (10 being the best) what would it be?
- i would give our video a 6. because we could have done a little more and have been a little more creative.

Did the movies during the lecture enhance the lecture or distract you?
- i thought they helped. no, i wasnt distracted.

After watching the videos with class is there any subject you would have rather done if given the oppurtunity?
- nah, i liked ours.

Name one thing you remember from the lecture that made you want to look up more information while on the internet after you posted your blog? ;)

What was your role in the film and what is one thing you would have changed in the film if you had more time?

1. How is your video planning going in your group?-
Pretty good, it takes alot of time for us to think of an idea. We all usually have really great ideas. Just trying to pick a good one is whats hard.

2. Do you enjoy working with your group members?-
Yes, i do enjoy working with my group members. We get along really good, and Daniel & Dylan are funny. If i could change something it would be to have a girl in my group, because i dont like being the only girl with two other boys.

3. What is the meaning of your group name?-
Its a battle during the American Revolution & the British under Burgoyne.

4. Are you having difficulties using the equipment?-
No, its pretty simple using the camera. I have trouble using the Windows Movie Maker thing, but ill just have to get use to it.
