Music Video Finale


Price Tag Artist- Jessie J


The lyrics of my teams song relates to us because life isn't all about money. Our song name is Price Tag and it talks about how life isn't about money and being happy is more better. The music video is giving a very important lesson to everyone. I think that if you only care about money in your life and getting everything you want you wont be that happy. Being happy and loving your life is more important then getting what you want. People all around the world are suffering from a lot of disasters including little kids, elders and adults. instead of you buying everything you see you can use your money wisely and donate some money to people and organizations who really need it. I think this song is very important to everyone, if you listen really closely you will get the message. You can get the message and know what they are talking about and do nothing about money or you can try help the world. Remember life isn't all about money it's more about everyone feeling loved and knowing that they are safe and happy all the time!! ACTIONS speak louder then WORDS!!
My favorite fast edit montage sequence was in the middle of the music video. It was of all of my team mates doing a scene in the bathroom and we were all dancing and singing. All of the sudden a boy comes out of the restroom and was video taping us for the whole time. We got the whole thing on video. It was really funny. Another sequence was we were all throwing money everywhere and we see this guy at the tip of our eye dancing and signing and saying to us you guys are rich. It was really funny he was going crazy everywhere dancing and singing. He went in the bathroom started to dance, he went in the stores and did the same thing. He was really funny.

It shows my best piece of work by... looking at the quality of my video. When you look at our video and watch the whole thing it shows all the hard work we put in it and making sure everything was our best and close to perfect. Because nothing can be perfect. It also shows all the time we put in this music video. We had 2 weeks to do this and we got it in on time. It was very hard to figure out when to film we all had to do something everyday so we planned to do it Monday after school in town. We wanted to get all the filming done in that one day so we wouldn't have to go back to town so we stayed late and got all the filming done.  We really tried hard to finish this with our best quality and we DID IT!

Animated Life Lessons



My teammates personal traits are very different from mine and the people I'm used to hanging out with. Jaesha's personal traits are drama queen, misunderstanding and doesn't really listen in this story. Akasha's personal traits are, she always thinks about other people and is very humble. I am a very different person I am very energetic, I love meeting new people and I always try to make new friends. Our story brings out all of the good things about them. If we didn't have them in our story it wouldn't make any sense. The people in the story mostly make up the whole thing and without my teammates our story wouldn't be a story. I am so glad on who my team is whiteout them I would never meet new people and have different experiences with people out of my box. I am so glad about who my team is we work perfectly together and this is our first time working together.


The humor in our story is when I accidentally hit Jaesha in the face with the soccer ball. I wasn't that good and soccer and I was trying to make a goal when Jaesha was the goalie and I kicked the ball..... I accidentally kick her in the face. After she was crying and I go over there and I ask her if she is ok, she gets up and says I'm fine and walks away. The message of the story relates to everyone because sometimes you try something new and you mess up a lot and someone gets hurt you figure out the situation.  You also should always forgive the person and keep on trying no matter what. Just because you aren't good at something doesn't mean you stop. When you start off you are not prefect at it you have to keep trying. You always have to work your way to being really good. You can never be perfect you can always learn something new and do better. So remember to always try and never give up you don't start off good you have to work your way there.

My team went really good except for sometimes we had some struggles with the whole puppet warp and making the scenes. We worked really good we all tried our best and worked as a team. We put all of our effort in making this movie it took a lot of time doing this and we still could have made it better. But we really tried and we all learned a lot of new things in this project. Our biggest challenge was taking all the scenes and putting them on the IMovie and making all the scenes equal up to the voices. That took the most time out of everything we had to edit it all and cut a lot of things off and make brand new scenes just to make it look good and make sense. The best moment out of this whole production was video taping our voices we had a lot of fun doing that we laughed a lot and didn't think about all the stress.

Character Development

How do I define myself? I am a Blossom Lava-Lei Novoa I absolutely love cooking and thinking outside of the box. I am also very adventurous and very creative. I don't like doing things people have already done I want to be different. Everything about me sounds good but sometimes and can freak out over things and get a little to crazy. Everything about me is pretty much crazy when I want to do something I go ahead and do it without thinking. I only think about things if I will get in trouble or I will seriously hurt myself but I try not to think about everything bad that will happen. I try to think about everything good and not looking back at what I could have done.

When I interact with someone new that I don't know I try to make them feel welcomed and make them feel like they belong here. When I went to a new school I was very grateful to have people I know there and be able to talk with them. If I didn't have anyone to be next to and hang out with them I would have been very lonely and I would feel like I don't belong there and know one wanted me there. So if there is a new kid at your school remember  to talk to them and try to make friends with them so they feel welcomed and make them want to stay at our school and have a good couple of years. When you do these things it helps the person figure out the school and it makes you feel a lot better knowing that you did something good.

When I made my GIF character we had to do these steps: have our picture of our self and then cut it out so there is no background behind you. Then you change the image size and have the picture move from the bottom of the frame to the front and center of the image with a lot of frames. Then you make another folder to put the image that you are gonna put the puppet warp on. After you do that you make yourself move so you look realistic and not fake, using the puppet warp. Then you, have to save everything yo make sure you don't loose it. When you finish that you put everything together you watch it and fix the little changes then, you save it. The process making the GIF was ok it really struggling me and figuring out what to ask for help was really hard. I think if I had to choose between this or something else I would probably choose something else. I don't really like doing this it doesn't really interest me I would rather do something else.

.MOV Film Festival




Our keywords connect with our audience by having the words relate to the audience and having them really relate to people. If your scripts didn't really have any connection with the audience they won't have any emotion in the movie and really connect with them. If you dont have the audience connecting with the movie they won't be that interested in that movie they might want to go see a different movie. Wouldn't you want people to love your movie and want to see it over and over again thats why you should have your keywords connect with the audience. It's really important to make sure that your movie relates to other people and have a lot of emotion in it so everyone gets drawn into the movie and feels like there in the movie.




The message my movie is giving everyone is that bullying can really HURT someone and that hurting someone is not that nice. If you ever get bullied TELL someone and they will help you and help the person who is bullying you. We wanted to bring AWARENESS to everyone (parents, teachers,kids, principles, ect..) this has been happening a lot and not a lot of people know that there KIDS might be getting bullied or there BEST FRIEND might be getting bullied and if you have someone helping you get through this it will help you a lot. Our movie will HELP kids a lot with bullies and show you the easy way to get out of bullies without hurting yourself and other kids!Bullying happens all around the WORLD and some end up dying so if you are getting bullied its really important to tell someone it will help you and the other person a lot! So beware if any kids are getting BULLIED or if you are getting BULLIED tell someone and ask for HELP!!

My biggest challenge I faced in making the movie is getting everything filmed on time. When we got our camera it was on 2 bars and Mr.Sanderl didn't give us a battery so we had to film in a rush. We tried to do everything but we just couldn't our camera died so we just worked on our plan and memorized our scripts. Since we couldn't film everything we had to do it another day so that meant we were a day behind. It was really hard to get everyone to film another day because everyone was busy and other things came up. So we had people shoot only there scenes one day and other people shoot there scenes another day so we would get all the shots done. Even though it was a bit of a STRUGGLE we got all of the shots done and we were only one day behind but we got caught up by staying in during recess and working on it.

Tiny Spherical Worlds

Why composite images is more then 1 photo is if you take 1 photo the computer cant blend all the photos together to make 1 big panorama. Imagine you getting a puzzle but you only have 1 piece that is what its like in composite photos. You cant only have 1 photo to make the photo bigger, you need more photos to overlap and make 1 big one. Composite images is very important if you want to make a panorama because, you need a lot of photos to make a panorama so it will turn out correct. Taking more then 1 photo helps you a lot so you know that you are doing what you are supposed to be doing and not following the directions and having your composite images all be off and not going through because you didn't take more then 1 photo you took a couple so you can make a panorama or something different.




The difference between a polar and a spherical pano is the polar pano is a sphere image that has you in the photo and it looks like you are standing on the earth. In the polar pano it looms like you are bigger then the
world. You are the star attraction in the photo and the world is behind you. The spherical pano is an image that is from the ground and you are the star attraction from the ground. You are right in the center in the spherical pano and the world is curling all around you in a big ball. Both panos are a lot alike but the format is a lot different. One pano is from the ground and the other in from a very high point and it looks like you are bigger then the earth.

My finished tiny worlds are convincing because the worlds look like there all one not bunch of different pictures. Also before we made them a world there was a big line in between the world and i smeared everything to make it look all together and not a bunch of little pictures. My tiny worlds are all blended together really good and they don't look like there a bunch of different pictures. They look like there is only one big picture and not a bunch of different pictures that are combined horribly. The tiny worlds look like the real world and not a fake unrealistic world that looks nothing like a world. I could do somethings to make my worlds better but overall I think I did well overall we had a really tight time limit and I'm new at all of this (I don't really know everything I'm doing but Im learning).

Hockney Style Joiners

David Hockney's photomontage is different from mine is his photomontage sends different messages then mine. I think he put more time into his photos then mine. Also we all have different ideas and thoughts about how we want our photomontage to look. If we all thought the same way  nothing would look different and everything would be the same. The difference between my photomontage and David Hockney's is mine has a different story then all of his photomontage. When you look at our photomontage each one tells a different story and looks different. They all don't look the same.

If you show a discouraging image it might discourage people and send a negative message. You don't want to send a lot of discouraging images because not  a lot of people will want to look at your photos anymore. I think everyone doesn't want to be discouraged they would rather be encouraged. If you show a very happy and positive photo most likely people would rather want to look at that image then discouraging images. Sending a positive image makes people feel a lot better the image could make everyone fell good about themselves and not hating stuff about themselves. Sending positive or negative images is very easy to do sometimes you don't even know that you have sent a negative message in an image.

I intend my audience to read this photomontage as the tree sprouting and growing taller and seeing that as me I will be growing taller and sprouting and being myself. This photomontage is relating to me and everyone else because everyone changes and goes there own way. We are all changing in our own ways and trying to figure out who we are and this photo it is relating to us with the tree its showing as the tree grows we will grow to. Sometimes trees bend and go other directions and that is what we will do but no matter what we can go strait again and we can go back to the correct path.

2016 Aspirations

I have a lot of goals for 2016, but I have 5 main ones. The first goal is to pick up at least 5 pieces of trash whenever I go to the beach or the park. Also I will eat less sugary and unhealthy foods this year and I will try to eat more healthy and be a little bit more fit. Another goal for me is to try to go outside a lot more instead of being on my phone, like after school riding my bike around and adventuring a little or doing something active outside. I would also like to read more books this year last year I didn't read that much and it didn't help me at school so this year I will try harder! My last goal is to try to be positive all the time and not get upset or annoyed easily.

I think my most important goal is trying to be positive all the time and not getting annoyed or upset easily. Why I think that is my most important goal is if you are alway mad your life will change you won't try your hardest at everything and you will be depressed. But if your are positive and you try to stay happy and calm all day your life will feel brighter and happier and a lot more easier. I think being positive is very important in your life. If you get easily annoyed or upset all the time, you change, and when you talk to your parents or they try to talk to you your conversations it will change in a bad way and not in a good way. Being happy and positive all the will change your life in a very good way.

To make sure this goal happens its gonna take a lot of effort. I will try to be nicer to my siblings and fight less with them by, not getting really mad and saying something rood back if they make me mad or annoyed. I will also stay calm when I talk to my parents instead of yelling at them if I'm mad. I will take 5 deep breaths and talk calmly and try to calm down and not yell at them. I will do everything my parents tell me to do and try my hardest if I don't want to do it instead if getting mad at my parents and walking away. To be positive all the time its gonna take a lot of effort and time.
