Final

Final Exam:
1.She wrote the same in different words to impact people in a special way.
2.This video made me feel sad because it shows how people done pay attention to people that need special care unless something is changed. People only care of the words the sign says instead of what the person is feeling inside.
3.You would show this video to us because you want us to open our eyes and see thing different and looking into things deeper.
4. I can change my words for my articles but them say the same things but change them in a way that attracts people i have to choose my words wisely.
5.The Guardian covered the story about 9 times in different ways.
6.The story is completely different from the story i remember as a child .
7.They interviewed an old lady in court and it sounded like the radio interview a guy .
8.They covered the wolfs murder by the three little pigs.
9.The only aspect they showed was how the little pig lived in the brick house.
10.The Guardian never offered their opinion of what was the truth of what happened.
11. Covering stories like that on campus would be hard we could only if we dug really deep and found something interesting to cover.
12.We can make this a reality by making the detail vivid and make people live the moment while reading the story.

Reflection.

  This semester in Newspaper i have learned so many things. The most important thing I have learned is how to manage my time and how to talk to people and actually have a conversation with them to dig deeper and get more information out of them. I have gotten closer to the staff and I'm more comfortable asking them for help or advise.
  What i can do next semester to help my scholastic journalism career is Work harder find people that are whiling to talk. Also go out o my way to find the information form outside people not just the people in school. What i suggest to help this class in more communication with the editors because things aren't said and then they don't get the story they want. I also think we should mail our paper out to let the families know whats going on, on campus and also they can be more involved with the school. I also would like more people to show up at saturday work day because people actually get more stuff done then what gets done during class its a great way to get to know everybody better.

Major Project Idea

The topic for my project is: academic shoot, birthday diner, and pictures of my baby cousins.
Nobody will be interviewed.
I will take photos of The composition rules.
I won't be researching any thing.

I will be making the videos.
I will be using Animoto to make these videos.

Animoto is the best service for my multimedia because I can show more photos.

I will capture and record this content at school, downtown, and at my aunts house.

I will download my pictures and anything i collected as son as possible.

My Best Portrait


Year in Review: 2013

 Best Photos:
I really like this picture and think it was one of the best pictures of 2013 because its unique and it shows a lot of meaning to it. This is a really good quality photo its clear and shows details. The photo doesn't have much to it but at the same time it does.

I really think this is another best photograph of 2013 because it shows a religion style and what they wear. Its a really clear picture and shows all things in details. It has simple colors and doesn't have much to show it just focuses on the main things they are trying to show.

I really like this picture and think its the best picture of 2013 because its a little girl is holding the flag during her fathers burial service. Its just an amazing picture it has so much emotion to it. This picture is also so professional because its so clear and focused.

Part 2:
Your Favorite:

The best song of 2013 in my opinion was demons by imagine dragon. I chose this as my main choice because had so much connection with this song. I got attracted to this song because of the beat and the lyrics. It was the best of 2013 because it was a big hit but i listened to it before it came on the radio.


The best movie of 2013 in my opinion was Safe Haven. I chose this as my main choice because I was such a loving movie and romantic but yet sad. I got attracted to this movie because of all the emotions and what the story behind it is. It was the best of 2013 because it was one of the movies that got a lot of high rates and a lot of people went to watch.

Cleveland's kidnapping  was the most important news story of 2013 in my opinion because missing girls were found and they saved their lives by coming out and before they died. I chose this as my choice because it was such powerful and popular story in the news. I got attracted to this story because these 3 girls were kidnapped for about 15 year and they went through so much. It was the best of 2013 cause he was put in jail and way from everybody so he wouldn't do anymore harm. But a couple of months later he committed suicide in jail by hanging him self



The best person of 2013 was Adam Levine in my opinion. I chose this as my main choice because he was a very successful man in the year of 2013. I was attracted to him because he's done a lot this year and has become very famous.


Part 3:

1. Something that i remember about my holidays is when my aunt from honduras and told u she was gonna live here in the united states.

2. My resolution for 2014 is to try my hardest in school and also workout at least twice a week, and also try and go to as many concerts as i can.

3. Im looking forward in moving houses and also for my sisters graduation and helping her move to Houston.
