Hey guy! Wow it's already second quarter and we all still have so much to do. We are in the middle of our second quarter and mid quarter reports are going out this week! Gosh with the report cards and fundraising that's a lot to do but we still have our projects. There is still so much to do in so little time but we are getting it all done.
Our projects are made of interviews, B-roll, and, audio. To put all those things together into a video under three minuets is a lot of work and it takes time and effort but if we follow the time and dead lines we should make it. This week we should be finishing up interviews and and starting to transcribe. Me and my partner have gotten all of our interviews done. We finished them in one day. It wasn't easy because we had to get all three interviews and shoot B-roll in one day because our project subject is so far away and we can't drive back if we don't have enough B-roll. We had some challenges while filming. It was very hot where we where so the camera started to overheat! So we had to do one of our interviews in the shade. The interview that we did in the shade took a littler longer to setup because we didn't want to have it to dark or have any shadows on his face. Good thing we where able to find a good place in the shade to film.

Me and Leanna have also started transcribing. I am transcribing for one of the interviews because that interview was eight minuets long so Leanna will transcribe for the other two. Leanna has finished transcribing one of the interviews and I have done about 2minuets and 30 seconds of the interview but ill be trying to stay after school to get it done. Transcribing is a long process that takes time and you have to be able to listen and memorize the things that the people are saying so that you can type it out.
Me and Leanna are working great together she is helping understand things better so that when its time to do our projects by ourselfs I will understand what to do. She has helped me a lots since we first started and I have learned a lot with her help an guides. She has had lots of patients while teaching me and making sure that I understand what she is teaching.
Second quarter has really creeped up on us we have so much to and so little time left w heave already finish our first radios and got a laptop, and we have all this fundraiseing to do. Well all this hard work will pay off.
Wish us all luck.
