PREZI


Prezi is a compeltely new tool for me and I really liked it. It doesn;t need to download a program (if you have a mac) and it automatically saves. Also you can just go to Prezi and enter your acount and present rather than ahving to open a program on your computer. Also you don;t have many compies with many anmes when you change something in a anew computer it's all saved online. .Prezi is really cool and has a lot of great effects and it's easier to add/ delete stuff.Prezi is a great tool when you don't have microsoft office, but there are many small things that aren;t better than a powerpoint One thing I didn't liek is that the whole background is always going to be the same color and you can't change it like a slide.
It was easy to understan eveyrthing and tocreat cool paths and add images. I didn;t find anything difficult about it probably at the begining It was hard to chnage colors and font. I guess it was jsut such a new concept that it was different from what I knew of ppt.

If I were given the option I would choose prezi although I liek toc hange colors of my slides. I really liekd prezi, it's faster, easier and it doens't occupy space in you hard drive. Also it;s really cool to jsut creat paths to the things I want to show and the order. The Power Points are complicated and there are tweo many transitions and you have to aplly each one and it's really stressing when you want something neat and fast. Also prezi is online and you don't need to wait to look for your old document and open it and all that when you want soemthing instantly. defenietly I would choose Prezi.Prexi doens;t need you to senfd yourself your presntation if you want tos ee it in another computer.Prezi allows you to work on your presentation and not worry about saving because it's automatically saved. Also prezi is more in

PSA

The last project was to do a PSA for grade 8 about drugs, sex, alcohol,internet saftey and eating dissorders.The video I did was about ALCHOL and how it affects you and others. My partner was Jade,and we worked very good together. Our first ideas were very different from the outcome. We couldn't finish our first idea because we had some complications, but we came up with another one that workerd quite well. The hardesrt part of the making of the video is finding a good idea and then being able to represent it. To make the video we first made a G DOC powerpoint so that we could follow up a guide while making hte video. Also this way we could ddivide the time and see which scenes needed to be longer or shorter.The planning is key to makinga good video because if you don;t plan anything then it's really hard for youa s a producer/director to do the scenes in order adn have everything you need.

If i could change my video probably I would make more scenes of how it affects you. Those are the last scenes but it's hard to show how it affects your brain, liver, heart and body. Also I would take the scenes with a better quality. Another thing i would change are the party scenes I would do it better and not so blurry although they helped with the theme( being drunk). The whole poribn of yhr video is top show how drinking may be fun but it can hurt your and others.The link to the video is here,(click ). There are many details I would change probably the text in the scenes should be stronger, as well as some of the scenes, this way the could have more impact on the audience. Maybe if I used someone else that people didn;t know they woudl take the video more seriously.

There are not so many good videos. The good ones are the ones who you can see that they planned them out and took their time. A great example is Raul and Mahonry. They had a great vieo of SAFE SEX. They had a great video with really good shots and really intresting ideas planted. I really liked the message at the end. The video has great quality. It's clear and there isn;t much talking which is boring sometimes. Also I liked Fernanda Corzo's they did a good video because their dialogues were clear and the acting was good. Althouigh Raul'
s is better they did a great job. Also I loved the music which really captueres your attention. Both of these videos are "stories" which is something that I find very intresting. Courtney's and Hope's was also very good the shots and their story was funny and creative. I liked the slide shot it really helps to relate the video with the title which was "MARIHUANA". Mostly these were the only ones I really liked beacuse they put effort into it.

PSA

PSA is an eduactional advertisment that advertises a public issue or how to solve it. PSA stands for PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCMENT, this organization only launches on air teachings taht are improtant to the society such as drunk driving, anorexia, obecity,drugs, safe sex, Influenza AH1N1 or any other subject. This type of advertisiment appeared in world war II. To aware people of what was going on in the wortld and how to protect yourself. Now days it;s very common to see PSA about being green. Disney channel does thata nd tehy teach kids how to save the planet by doing things at home. It's similar to a commercial because it is made for public and it sells soemthing(not a product but a lifestyle or an idea). Also they both ahve a story they have to be related to the main idea. The difference is that one sells a product and the other awares people.

I would like to work with Ximena. First of all because we are friends, neighboors and we have similar ideas. The other times I've worked with her there hadn't been any issues between us.
Also her being my newighbor(literally door and door) we can see each other evryday and it'll be eassdiert to organize and get everything done.
I also would like to work with Jade-oI've never had the chance to work with her but we get along pretty well and we understand eachother. We live close and we can meet very easily. Also she seems as a good person who'll be organizes and I think we won't have any problems in the way.
I would as well like to work with Courtney. We live reallyc lose and we get along . We understand each other also she is a girl with great ideas and I think her ideas and mine could come up with something really cool and meaningful. I've never worked with her and I think we 'll make a great team. Also we can meet easily because we live really close.

-OBECITY
-ANOREXIA
-SAFE SEX
-ABUSE OF ALCHOL

COMMERCIALS SUPERBOWL 2011

Commercials are the best way to make you enterprise or product be known by eveyone therefore the better your commercial is the more you'll sell. This superbowl was the perfect opportuinity for mnay new products as well as old to come out and show off the the world what they've got. I loved 2 commercials: Audi A8 "release the hounds, and Camaro Chevy"Miss Evelyn". All of this three had really creative ideas for a commercial.The Audi Is really funny and has some sort of subliminal message that luxury is some sort of prison we need to escape to get to a even more luxurious place or something more luxurious. This commercial is sort of a chase and it has really comic parts. This commercials is definetley well thought and not just some stupid idea videotaped(like most of Dorito's commercials. The second one of "Miss Evelyn" is very intresting to look at because it's the narration of two people who are thinking about doing a commercial of Camaro change from dessert, to city, to a chase in which the driver is a sexy red-haired teacher.This one really caches your attention because there is action in every shot. The story is different and the shots are very good quality. As well as the audi this one is interesting but this one has more shots of the actual product (the car) than of other things like the Audi does.For this commercials companies spend millions of dollars for 1:00 mn on tv. A person would think that if theya re spending so much money then they should make really good commercials although some companies show things that really don't make sense or are just disgusting things to watch. One of them would be the sony android. This video is repulsing because a robot gets human thumbds. The images of the video are terrible it's such a bad image of india or any other poor country. The shots make it look digusting to see and the worst of all, it;s for a phone with PSP. Seriously people?! That's just not right. I can;t even say how much I hate the add.If i were to re-do this add in aprticular. Probably it would be a new whole idea. NO ROBOTS WITH HUMAN THUMBS! First of all it'll be in a hospital not a weird place like int he original, there would be doctors and many people in the waiting room waiting with really anxious and desperate faces moving their thumbs like if they were playing PSP. Then the doctor would grabs some tools and do somtehing to the thing in the table but the audience can;t see it. Then the doctor will say "We did it"and nurses will applaud and then a nurse will go to waiting room and say WE DID IT! everyone will scream shout and cry ther will come out with he phone in his hands open it and show the controls on the PSP and then the narrator will say something like "NEW SONY NOKIA PSP, READY TO PLAY?". Yeah, it would have been a much better idea.
Aprt from this, in class we did commercials as well, the one I loved was Jorge's . It was hilarious and he actually did a pretty good job.
