Script Reading

I think Loghan has a lot of talent when it comes to scripting.
 The story line was intense, but it did sound like a lot of movies that are already out there.

I would like to see him using his creativity to add something that makes this movie

UNIQUE, which I firmly believe he can do. 

The part that we read did not have much dialogue, however his character developement was pretty impressive for the lack of verbal interactions.

 I am excited to see how he revises and improves upon this script, and I think he has a very good story line to run with.

Now run like the wind, Loghan!

Update

So, life...life is in a slump right now.

I say "um" too much, because I am never sure of anything these days, and "um" fills in when I have something I want to say but can't find the right words because my brain is focussed elsewhere.  

On the plus side,

I am getting really excited about the future, especially now that I have decided on a major!

Are you ready for this?

 Major in Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations.

phew.

I can't wait to get started on college.

As far as media goes, in the future, I feel like most of my focus will be put into my personal blog.

I am going to work and my first purchase will be a good camera, because I find that taking pictures relaxes me and helps me appreciate everything that surrounds me.

It also makes my blog posts more interesting.  

2 days, to days

I have learned the past few days that it doesn't matter what anyone else does,  those things shouldn't affect me. 

I need to remember this as I go into sterling scholar interviews on Wednesday. 

I can't determine who my competition is and how well they do in their interviews, the only thing that should matter is that I do my best and present what I have with confidence. 

Nonetheless, my stomach is in a constant state of knot-iness 

(not naughtiness, although the huge bowl of ice cream I just ate begs to differ.)

and I find myself having personal interviews inside my mind.

Psh, I guess that is what watching a whole bunch of news will do to a person. 

There still haven't been any tears, and I think with some rigorous training through practice questions I will feel prepared enough by Wednesday...

eek...

That is in 2 days. 

The Vow (not the chick flick version)

I usually blame this winter stupor on the snow, but seeing as how there is no snow I feel like it stems from something else. I am not depressed, that does not do this feeling justice. I am just...through.

Here we go, I am about to abandon everything that has been holding me back.

I don't care if I look like a jerk, I refuse to do anyone else's work.

The funny thing is, that doesn't even make me look like a jerk, it only makes me feel like one.

I am getting rid of that perception.

 Time to focus on ME, on doing the things that I want to do.

I am going to stop being afraid to show my inner thoughts and desires.

No more cookie-cutter work.

 I need to use the things that drive my emotions and incorporate them into my work.

 I need to tell myself that it is okay if the project doesn't turn out how I expected it, because that is just something to learn from.

I need to find a niche and focus on that until I produce a product that I am completely happy with, that I am wanting to share.

I am sick of being pushed around by myself.

From here on out, I am going to put my whole soul into creating things that honestly show

who

I am.

Dance Video

Today I planned my dance company video, well actually I just worked with experimental lighting.The shadow on the floor made my legs look short and distracted my eye from the dancer.  I did like the sun behind so that part of the dancer is silhouetted, and I also liked the shadow on the wall.

 Here is what I want to accomplish with this video:

I want the mood to be edgy and pull people through, grasping their attention until the last second.
I want to use the seniors on dance company.
I want to have music that is not mainstream, but that people can still relate to (something edgy and...hmmm....sexy? for lack of a more appropriate word).
I want people to finish watching and have a desire to come to the concert.

Plan:

Tonight I will find a song and plan how the people will transition through it.
I will talk to the dancers on Thursday, and learn how to use the camera.
Filming will take place Wednesday and Friday of next week.

I also got the basketball program that has my pictures that I took (using the rebel...) in it. I will add that to my portfolio for sterling scholar to bring in and show the judges during my interview.

White AND Colored, because I am not racist.

This past week I have been working on my Sterling Scholar portfolio, which has not only been a gigantic pain, but also an eye opening experience. I didn't realize that I had so many leadership and service experiences going for me. I am glad I went through and marked out all of the times I have helped/led people, because now it will be easier to write essays for other scholarships.

Now you may ask, "How does multimedia relate to your portfolio?"

Let me tell you.

Firstly, I had to format and type up all of my pages for the portfolio. I used photo shop to create the headers and Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9 to format my pictures, words, and text all together. I was frustrated wishing that I had better quality programs to work with, but I learned that even with crappy programs I can produce good quality work depending on how much effort I put into it.

I spent time collecting photographs, typing up my answers to the questions, crying over loss of food and sleep, and compiling it all together!

Today I worked on a collage of pictures, just for fun. It took me about fifteen minutes. I really like colors against the white background.

Rainbow Child

One Man Band

Asians, raising the bar...always.

Human Color Pallette

(Side note: Anna is my best friend. and we are moving out together and going to UVU in the fall. Can't wait. We are currently working on getting a goldfish and a cactus for our basement apartment.)

Happy Friday!
