No Simone today (feel better!) Hanna finished the film to today by herself. She added the title, credits and music. The entire editing processes has been a combined effort that has not included either Katie or I, which is really impressive!

Well, today was our last workshop, and I have to say that Hanna and Simone have impressed me every single week. I missed Simone today but I can’t wait to see her next week for our class party! Hanna finished the film and did a brilliant job with the titles, end credits, and music. It was a privilege to work with you two girls this semester!
Lots of love,
Katie

Hi guys, I feel like such a veteran, but what keeps me coming back every year to this program is to be able to work with incredible people like Kelsey and Katie and to be able to learn editing skills, college life, and to be able to have really great discussions with people who have opinions about things I have an interest to discuss. These ladies helped Simone and I create our video, and encouraged our creativity, thank you guys so much!

Today Hanna and i began the editing process for our awesometastic video project! Hanna is skilled at final cut pro, and Katie and Kelsey helped us out by giving us a tutorial and by getting Baynard when we needed rotating help. Im super excited to get this project done, it’ll be fantasticals!

I was named after the lady from 90210.

Anyways, we worked very hard on this project and cant wait until this project is done! we hope you will enjoy  it!

I observed Hanna and Simone working and they work so well together! They may not have been confident working with final cut at first, but they explored and quickly picked up the basics and were able to get a lot of their film edited in only an hour. Yay!

I also observed Hanna and Simone today. They worked fabulously together! They compromised and problem solved without Katie and I having to help (they are super impressive.) Next week, we will finish up the video, hopefully!

Today was a prime example of a quote from 30 rock. “There is no such thing as a bad idea, only good ideas that go horribly, horribly wrong”. We had an idea, and it went wrong. So now our podcast is slightly more simplistic, but the script is still impeccable. ~SIMONE

 

Yes, I love your application of that quote, Simone! Yes, today we were able to get our script recorded. After attempting to read it through with two speakers alternating by the word, we ultimately settled on alternating paragraphs. Technically, the word-by-word alteration just didn’t work out–the sound was always off balance. However, we still managed to keep in one part where we speak together–stay tuned for next week, when we add effects and music and post our project!  ~KATIE

“Why I’m Skipping the Pep Rally” by Simone and Katie

This Friday, I’m asking my mom for a note excusing me from pep rally. Here’s why. Pep rallies are loud, obnoxious, and exclusionary. The whole thing centers around the football team, which isn’t even good, while our math team competes and does well, and I didn’t even know we had a math team until last year. The different clubs and activity groups enter through one door and circle around the gym. When they’re done and seated, the football team enters through another set of doors, because they’re that special. FAVORITISM! The kings have arrived, and the crowd goes wild.

The pep rally recognizes a lot of clubs, but they aren’t recognized equally, and that’s the problem. All other sports and clubs are considered second to the football team, a sign of the favoritism toward male sports. Even the performing band falls victim to the chaos, as they can’t be heard while the seniors and freshmen engage in a shouting match across the gym. Pep rallies makes me hate my peers instead of love my school.

Hi, I’m Katie and my favorite things to do are travel, put outfits together, and sleep. I’m a senior, and I’m studying to be a teacher. Last semester I interned at a school in Clifden, Ireland, and team taught a creative writing unit with my friend Katie. I was able to teach both middle and high school students there, and I have to say I can’t decide which age group I like better. I’d like to be an English teacher, although I also think working as a school librarian would also fulfill my goal of getting students excited about reading.
