Hmmm.

My Interactive Journalism teacher asked us to give ourselves a grade we think we deserve for the Autobiography project. I would give myself an A-. Some of the reasons are:

- I worked really hard on it. I never used Final Cut, and I'm not very good with computers, so my project came out really good for a first timer.

- I used a lot of pictures and videos. I also used different kinds of transitions throughout the project.

- I stuttered a lot. So in my point of view, that kept me from getting a better grade.

- I gave details about my life and the pictures went along with my narration.

Nathan Wilson-Braun's Autobiography

Nathan's Autobiography was very short and to the point. He didn't narrate it. He just showed pictures and put very brief descriptions of them. The music was very different.

Dina Tlisova's Autobiography

Dina's Autobiography was really personal. She went deep in her life. She had a lot of  pictures, which is really good. Even though she used a lot of the same music as I did in my project, I forgive her and giver her two thumbs up.

Anthony Smart's Autobiography

Anthony's autobiography seemed to move too fast. He skipped around a lot. There wasn't any pictures of his childhood. But I do like the pictures he took.

Keith Singh's Autobiography

Keith's Autobiography was really good. He seemed to know what he was doing. I like how he showed us video clips of his everyday life in school.

Dan Sher's Autobiogaphy

Dan's project was very unique. He had a very funky type of music style. The interview him was pretty funny because the camera person kept zooming in and out.

Nicole Panza's Autobiography

Nicole's autobiography was very well put. She had a lot of pictures that corresponded to her childhood and recent years. The only problem that I saw was that the ending came too fast. But other than that she did a good job!

The Other Harrison Ford's Autobiography

Harrison's autobiography was very well put. I like how he had videos of his everyday life. He used very "classy" types of music. All he needed to do to make the project even better, was to slow down his narration. But other than that, GOOD JOB HARRISON!

My Autobiography

Well my Interactive Journalism class just go done watching my autobiography. It was a lot of hard work for me to make it. I didn't know anything about Final Cut, but now I know how to use it. One thing I would have done differently is re-record my narration because I stuttered a lot.

Anthony Alberico's Project

Anthony's project was very well put. He had a lot of video of him when he was younger, which is good. One thing I would change about his video is his voice because it's too deep and it makes the voice sound fake.

New Year, New Life

So today is my first day back to school from the winter break. I didn't do much. For Christmas I went to my uncle's house in Worcester. In the middle of the break, I went to my other uncle's house in New Hampshire. I had track practice, too. My New Year's was nothing special. I went to bed at 10 on NYE. But I did catch up on a lot of sleep. Now I'm back in school. I'm pissed off that today is Day 5, because I have a study 5th period and I was going to take that time to do all my homework/essays that I was supposed to do over break. But now I can't. 

Butttttttttt,

I did come up with a new motto for my life. "New Year, New Life" That means that everything bad that happened in 2008 I'm going to forget about it and leave it in the past. I'm going to start things with a fresh start. No more of the dwelling in the past. I'm going to focus on the present. Not even the future because, I should take it one day at a time. It's time for some changes. Good changes.
