For my Genius Hour project, I researched heart of cinematography. I chose cinematography because I really enjoy filmmaking. My research question for this genius hour project was how do you make a video/ the art of cinematography?

I learned various different things such as camera angles, shot types composition and camera transitions. I learned what use each type of shot or angle would do if I added them to the scene. For example, moment Jojo is crying because he can’t find his phone that would be a Close – up shot of Jojo’s face to capture his emotions. Also, shot composition is where your subject lies in the frame placement is very important if your subject is out of frame then you’ve just ruined an entire scene. The truth of the matter is if Jojo is not actually in the frame and that’s what your audience is supposed to be looking at then, your audience will be confused and you want to not understand the story they wouldn’t watch the movie at all. Each camera angle could be used to express something different about the scene which adds to the originality of the movie.

This overall project helps me grow as a film student because of it really enhanced my learning when I go into my future film classes. Without this project, I may have never been able to further my knowledge on this topic. If it was not for a grade I would not have done any sort of research but, when there is a grade I really had to dig deeper which really does benefit me.

What I learned helped my community at Isd because now whenever anyone takes a video they will remember the tips I gave in my presentation to them. My next genius hour project is going to build on this hopefully I will actually get to make meaningful videos that will educate the world about any other topic I’m interested in.

What do I want to be when I grow up this is a question I often find myself answering. Especially when it is my parents or teachers at school. To which I respond I don’t know. I have a passion for many things. Although my choices for sports are sort of limited things like Piloting, finances, and economics have always interested me.

Don’t get me wrong I know tons of different jobs I would like to do but, It all just depends on how far my academics will take me. I want to focus on living in the moment now so that I don’t miss out on any opportunities in the present day. At my age, I am being offered opportunities that some people only dream of like being apart of an IB league school.

Smart goals

I set a couple of goals for my self this year  Play all sports, join one afterschool activity and make the honor roll. Ninth grade is the beginning of my high school experience and I want to start it off with a bang. I guess what I’m trying to say is in my future anything is possible as long as I am happy doing it.

I wouldn’t call my love for food an addiction because I am not obese nor I am I fat. However, over my years spent on this earth, I have spent some time accumulating knowledge about the culinary arts. Now without further a due let’s begin a list of favorite foods.

1. Burgers: Now I’m not talking about any type of burger I’m talking about the mac and cheeseburger. I like it because it has three of my favorite things; bread, meat and mac, and cheese. I like my meat well done, my mac and cheese nice and soft. The burger will always be number one.
2. Any type of spaghetti: Preferably: gnocchi or ravioli with shrimp. I love pasta because I just enjoy cheese so much. There’s also something about the texture of pasta that is so great. However, never, ever have a taste of pasta dough it tastes disgusting. Plus your tummy won’t feel too good after.
3. Ceaser Salad: I like this salad for one reason I feel like a king eating.
