Verbal Landscapes

Nature gives everything color and beauty. It also gives us the resources to survive. Sometimes nature can cause disasters.But we help each other rise again with the help of nature. Natures a big part of our lives without it we can't survive,we can't find anywhere to live.Nature is sometimes can cause disasters, but in truth it helps us live our life everyday.

Time lapses are wide angled videos that are faster than its original form. Slow-mos are close up shot of a usually fast things slowed down.In our project we have to use environmental tripods (the ground). To film a 5-20 minutes video where we will speed up in final cut pro. And also to film a 1-10 seconds where we will slow down in final cut pro.

The hardest part was filming the slow-mos and filming the time lapse. You can't predict the weather, filming the dark night sky, trying not to include any people in the shot. The slow-mo's problems was right timing, getting camera straight. The very difficult part of filming was making sure the camera was stable. My favorite part was writing the poem and editing the video.

Most people gave my retime nature project a 2 which is good enough for me.  Some people gave me a 3 which I am happy about. However, I do agree with the people who gave my project a 2. When we watched my video, there was shaking and there was a part of my video where my camera fell. I should have watched my camera or maybe edited that out.  I think the reason why some people gave me a 3 is because my music fit well and so does my poem. I still think that I still deserve a 2 though.

POETIC PERSONAL STATEMENT

Hello everyone this is my first time having a blog.This is my first year in Gifted and Talented Media(GT).This is my first post of the year. Poetry is how people express their feelings or themselves in paper. A lot of people do this for fun, expressing themselves or for entertainment. Some poems are meaningful, some funny, some sad, and some for our entertainment. Every poem has a meaning and feeling to us and the one who wrote it. So here it is: My poetic personal statement.

Change is a part of life;

some peaceful some strife

Life is like a book

every new chapter after the other

We all have a great imagination;

good or bad there is a spark of creation

But no matter what bridge to turn and burn;

change is a big decision.

I used rhythm or rhyme to put a little bit more meaning to it. It makes what I'm saying about change much more clearer. It also makes it sound better. It also represents my opinion about change more understandable. It brings more feelings into it. It just makes more sense to add too. It also adds a story, a meaning behind it.
