What Did I Do??

-

 Welcome Back! Today I was super excited to attend class because I had just finished my website. The website took me a whole week to create so naturally I was super excited to show it off. I showed all my friends who sit around me at my table with the biggest smile on my face. I made some final touches like centering photos and swapping the background color. Now that my website looked absolutely perfect, it was ready to be launched. Once I clicked publish my world came crashing down. I had to pay 17 dollars a month to keep my website up and running. How could this have happened. Before using SquareSpace, I researched to make sure it was 100% free, how could I have been so naive. Before deleting all my work, I tried to find a solution. I could publish the website however it would be private and only people with the password could access it. I asked my teacher if this would be okay and she said no because it would be impossible to send the code over to Cambridge. I was so disappointed because not only did I waste my time, but now I'm putting my group mates behind as well. Thankfully they weren't too mad about it, we all kinda laughed it off. My teacher told me that Wix.com was totally free, so I went back to using Wix. For me personally I find Wix to be a super complicated site to use. I announced my confusion to my group and Sofia explained everything to me. Although this was a major set back, I realized it wasn't really going to take me that long to build the website. I already had all the information written out, so all I needed to do was copy and paste. I also had every photo saved to my library on my computer so I didn't need to search for photos. I began working on my new site in class and thanks to Sofia Wix was much more convienent and simple to use. Everything was already set up into sections, so I really just needed to fill in the blanks with my information. They had each template already displayed as well so I didn't need to search for templates like "meet the team." Since Wix is easy to use, FREE, and I already have my information, the recreation shouldn't take too long. Thanks for reading!

           Hey guys, welcome to my blog! I am excited to announce that my group is making a music video to "Rude" by MAGIC! This song falls under the pop genre, where music videos usually have exciting backgrounds and flashy outfits.  In pop music videos, women's costumes include elegant dresses, big earrings, streetwear, heels, and headbands. Music videos that show women wearing elegant dresses and heels include "Hot N Cold" by Katy Perry, "Love Story" by Taylor Swift, and "Dear Future Husband" by Meghan Trainor. Music videos that show women wearing streetwear, big earrings and headbands include "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift, "Shower" by Becky G, and "Want U Back" by Cher Lloyd.                                                    Men's costumes in pop music videos include suits and mainstream outfits such as shorts, hoodies, and neutral-colored T-shirts.

 Today is the day Alyssa and I face the challenge of editing our music video. Neither Alyssa and I are skilled in the world of editing, so this shall be a bumpy ride. I am allowed to move study halls, so I go to Alyssa's everyday. This gives is the perfect opportunity to start editing. Once we arrived I asked Alyssa to heart her favorite clips because she's very picky. Once she finished that I opened up iMovie. When I was ready, I opened up the storyboard blog and used that as a guideline to place the clips in the correct order. However when I did this I messed it up. Some clips were in the wrong spot, which made the music not flow with the clips. This was a quick fix, Alyssa helped rearrange them. I didn't want Cambridge to see the cuts in the video so I fixed that with the help of transitions. I believe I a wide range of different transitions that fix the scene it was going to flow into. I then shortened the clips to the exact moment we needed it at. Once this step was co

I 've been playing sports all my life, some would even say I'm very athletic. I play two sports in total, tennis and cross country. Let me tell you that these sports are not for the weak especially when its 95 degrees down here in South Florida. I've been playing tennis for about 11 years now. I even worked my way to playing number 1 on the FLHS tennis team. I play a decent amount of tournaments but I should play more because my UTR is quite low, but its also good for match play and experience. I don't think I'm going to go pro but I do hope to play at The University of Miami on their club team. Go Canes! I started cross country freshman year. I told myself this is just cross training for tennis, but no. I ended up being a pretty good runner. I made it to states freshman year which was kind of a shock to me. States was such a fun trip especially with the team. At states I created a personal record for my self in which I ran 3 miles in 24.04 minutes. I've been tr
