Apple Description


      For some reason today in e-Com the teacher has decided to tell us to write about an apple, which picture is right now up on the board. It’s a red apple with yellow an the top, slightly streaking down from it. The apple has some shine going off of it and a stem poking out from the top. It’s very round, I’m not so sure where i’m going with this so to continue it looks delicious.

      This was to be a test to see whether we're more intuitive or sensing and I think I leaned more towards sensing with this quick project.

I'm a... Beaver?

      After a three-day weekend we're finally back in school and in e-Com once again. So far in the start of this week we have taken a quiz that shows to which animal we relate to the most. Apparently I got the animal of a beaver. Beavers, (or at least so the quiz says) are a organized type that think there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. They're creative and want to solve everything. So far I'm agreeing with everything that I'm reading about this but my only disagreement is the whole 'beavers take their time' which appears later in the paragraph. I'm always rushing about. But overall I think it was pretty accurate.

     When we were done with this test we then took another test which determined who we are with the following different types, Invert or Extrovert, Intuitive or Sensing, Thinking or Feeling, Judging or Perceiving. I got INTJ, which I think describes me fairly well. So far I'm liking the quizzes we're taking and how accurate they are.



      The INTJ personality is very interesting in my opinion, so I'm glad to have it. However I don't think I'm a very 'judging'  person. I'm not so sure yet what being judging is supposed to mean but I don't believe it suits me. 


       I think I'm more perceiving than judging since perceiving people are more adaptable to situation while judging aren't. I'd like to think I'm more perceiving than judging. Everything else gets me really well though, I'm definitely an introvert, intuitive and thinking. I can agree wth being a introvert since I'm not talker and not one to make friends easily. It's also nice to see celebrities who share this personality type as me.

From A to B

      Recently in e-Communication we were partnered up to make a video where we would be trying to get  from one place to another, in this project I took all the footage while my partner walked form the second floor of the school to our courtyard. We used the 6 shot system and attempted to ry to use he rule of thirds, though I don't think that went well. But overall the project was actually proved to be fun to do and in the end i actually liked how it turned out.
      
The Process
      Getting the camera and stand for it was easy, using it was harder. Unlike in the other video I took for the six shot system, in where we had normal stand the stand that we had in this project was slightly damaged making it harder to stand up correctly. 
      We started at my locker, which was conveniently on the second floor. Writing a quick scribbled note, my partner acted to be surprised then we began the process of walking down the halls and stairs all the way to the courtyard. Getting to the courtyard was harder than you might've imagined since the doors were at first locked, leaving me and my partner on a small journey to find a custodian.
      
What I Learned
      If anything I learned that when making a video like this, it's better to make 50% of it close-ups/extreme close-ups. This makes the video more interesting in a way. Besides that we still used Premiere and the same camera's as last time so I didn't actually learn much this time.

What Could Have Gone Better
      Some of the shots I actually didn't like at all. There's this one shot of going down the stairs, but the camera was angled wrong and it paned the shot. I didn't notice until editing the video, so I'm really annoyed at that shot. And in another shot you can see he camera stand in the background. Giving the chance to that again I would be more careful of the camera and what's in the shot.
