kid in class
goes to the hall
his mom texts him in a car
they die
split screen shows that he graduates


jorge and bryan
they meet for pizza
they die in a car


randy, patrick, treydon
they drive and distract the driver
they die

All:
We filmed some scenes in the classroom with red and blue lights flashing over their faces as they talked about Texting and Driving Statistics. We imagined that would be at the end of the videos.

Maybe we mix all videos together and they all crash into each other at the end - one video instead of 3 separate ones. Might be better.

PSA Project

What was the process like creating your video?

First we formed teams to work on a video project. Mr. Streckfus announced that we were to make a video Public Service Announcement, or PSA about Safe Driving. On my team were Larry, Moe, and Curly Joe. We all researched and collected our facts and decided that our film would be about the dangers of texting and driving.

We discussed our story ideas based around a teen who crashes when they are texting while driving.

All three of us went home and wrote scripts. The next  day we all shared our script ideas and rewrote a bigger and better script.

The next step was to draw the story on paper so we can figure out  what scenes to film and what camera angles to use.

We made a list of props and filming began the next day or two.

Ms. Arcos gave us a video camera and a digital camera with video capabilities to use. We experimented in class with the cameras until we were comfortable using them and understood how to use them.

What was your role on the teams and how did you contribute to the project?
My role was camera man and I said action and cut and operated the camera.
My role was acting as the teenager.

What do you think you learned from this whole experience so far and how could it help you in the future?
I learned a lot about driving safety, and I think in the future maybe I'll make more videos.

Ebola: The most deadly virus

Ebola is a deadly virus caused by interacting with the blood or saliva, or other bodily fluids like sweat, tears, semen, urine, breast milk, and mucous, from an infected person or animal. When I say interact what I really mean is get those fluids somehow into the eyes, mouth or open wound.

The symptoms are fever, headaches, lots of pain, weakness, excessive pooping, vomiting, bleeding from eyes, nose, ears, and elsewhere.

The first patient was in 1976 from Republic of Congo. In 2014, and outbreak occurred in Guinea.

Right now, in Dallas, TX, there is a patient who has Ebola. They are quarantining him and others who have come into contact with him. This way, no one else will catch it, hopefully.

I found info on Ebola at this website.
