Verbal Landscapes

Different ways nature impacts my life is by surfing. If nature didn't exist then I wouldn't be surfing. Because nature does exist I can surf and have fun doing it. Another way I Interact with nature is by taking photos, I think the best photos have nature in it. So if I'm taking a photo with my friend in it then I would have my friend Interacting with nature.

Time lapses and slow-Mo's can be created in 2 different ways. The first way to take time lapses and slow-Mo's is by doing it in the I phone. There are 2 settings in camera called time laps and slow-mo. when you choose time laps it takes the video until you stop it and then the I Phone speeds it up for you. The other setting In the camera app is slow-mo. When you finish taking the video it slows it down for you too. The second way to do it is by uploading the video to your editor for example Final Cut Pro and doing it yourself. In Final Cut Pro they have a re-time editor that you can use and then either click speed up of slow down. Then from there you can choose 50% slower or 100% faster.

The hardest part about this project is probably getting the film because during my time lapses I had to make sure that it was straight and that the footage wasn't shaking. This was hard because we also had to use environmental tripods. This way I could only use nature to get straight film. The easiest part of this project would probably be the editing. I think it is the easiest part because I've worked with Final Cut Pro already so I knew what I was doing.

I agree with my results with my video because I did good things but I also messed up on a few things. I think that the visuals were pretty goo and that I was able to capture a good sunset. But my audio wasn't very clear and that I messed up on a few words.The critique had 4 different votes on every ones video. 1 for beginning, 2 for developing, 3 for accomplished, and 4 for exemplary. Then at the end we voted for which video you thought was the best.

Poetic Personal Statement

I think that Poetry Is a form of literature that explains some one's feelings. I think this because most poems have a lot of emotion that they explain. In poetry for example If someone Is feeling sad then their poems would be about why their sad and what It feels like. I also think It means what people did in the past or what people plan to do In the future. I think this because poetry explains adventures people go on and the lessons they learn Into a story, also what they want to do In the future or what they imagine being somewhere like mount Everest or being in space.

The court Is where I play my favorite sport. Through sweat and struggle I think to myself, get that ball even If you have to fall. I dive for the ball as If Its game point  And Ill spike the ball until my hand Is red. Ill play until I get to the top, Its my goal, and Its my future. Ill try my best to get the ball Ill give 200% and I wont stop till I win. Its natural when I throw It In the air and prepare to spike It. Its a routine In my head bump, set, spike, It repeats, bump, set, spike.

I used rhyming because I think that when poems rhyme It feels more clever and put together.  I also used rhyming because I want to Incorporate both poem usage and rhyming In my poem to make It slightly more complex. I was able to use rhyming by searching up Rhymezone. Rhymezone helps you get words that rhyme with the word you typed In the bar.  I also found right places to put rhymes, usually I start a word around the beginning of the line and end the rhyme on the last word.
