Collage

2011-09-14T12:12:00.000-07:00

One thing I like about my collage is how it is blended together! Plus the words on the pictures are cool! One thing I don't like is that the cut out of me in the middle of the picture.

SHARP fun day - FINAL

2011-05-12T08:36:00.000-07:00

This video was challenging because it was hard to find a video with the right sound and look. The imovie didn't go well for me because I couldn't work it very well. But other than that the project was semi easy and fun!

Curtis Hogan Searcy Scenario

2011-04-19T07:48:00.000-07:00

The hardest part of shooting was making everything flow together, like walking down the hallway. The easiest part was acting out the scenario and doing the story board. Another easy part was choose the shots and then how to act them all out.

Searcy and Hogan's Video Shots

2011-04-11T08:26:00.000-07:00

Shooting the video shots were easy and hard. The easy part was coming up with the best scenes to come up with. Another easy part was the editing in imovie. One hard part was the time management issue with filming all the shots in time. I enjoy filming with my partner it was fun.

Interviewing

2011-03-01T08:34:00.000-08:00

What I learned from interviewing is that it isn't that easy to come up with good questions to ask the interviewee. You need to know things about their life before you ask them questions. You also need to let them feel at ease and don't make them uncomfortable with your starting question, you need to leave the hard questions that they don't wanna answer till the last question(s). When you are interviewing a person you have to remember to ask open-ended questions. This is important because if you don't the interview won't go well and it will be a very short and not very interesting interview. They might even not want to be interviewed by you anymore if you are like that. So you have to remember open-ended questions and make them comfortable with you interviewing them.

Journalist Jobs

2011-02-24T08:06:00.000-08:00

There are a lot of journalism jobs out in the world but one of the jobs that I would consider having is being a Music Video Producer. The good thing about being a music video producer in my opinion is that you get to be in charge of a production team. I also would be able to create and see all the visual effects in the music video. But the down side is that I would have to make sure that I didn't go over the budget. I am good with my money so I don't think that would be a huge problem.
A journalism job that I wouldn't do is a 3D animator, I wouldn't do that job because you would have to be a good artist, which I am not. I also don't know if I could work with a computer that would do 3D stuff. I'm not very good at working with computers so I wouldn't be a very good 3D animator.

Court case: New Jersey vs. T.L.O.

2011-01-25T09:02:00.000-08:00

The court case I researched was New Jersey vs. T.L.O. The court case is about a freshman student, T.L.O. who was caught in the bathroom with another girl who was smoking marijuana. The girls were caught by the Vice Principle of the school, the other girl told the vice principle she was smoking but T.L.O. said that she wasn't smoking. The Vice Principle had reason to search T.L.O's purse and he found cigarettes in plain view, so that gave him more reason to search her purse throughly. He then found marijuana, rolling paper, a wade of $1 dollar bills, and a pipe. Then that lead to her confession, that she was selling marijuana to the students, but then T.L.O. sued the school because she believed that her Fourth Amendment was violated. The court said that the school had a reason to search her purse because she was selling marijuana to students.
This affected us because schools can now search your locker or bag for illegal drugs that can't be at the school. This wouldn't violate our Fourth Amendment if the school did this because they have a duty to get our school environment safe for us.

Qualified but not Absolute

2011-01-18T09:04:00.000-08:00

Our right that we have in the United States our not always absolute. What this means is that our freedom of that right but other laws interfere with it sometimes. So you are qualified for that right but you get in trouble because other laws interfere with that right. Like if you were picketing a office it started out in an orderly manner but then it gets out of hand and someone from the office got hurt from the picketing you would get in trouble. Your right was qualified but then you broke it when someone got hurt.

The Future of the News

2011-01-13T08:38:00.000-08:00

I think that in 10 or so years that there won't be anymore newspaper. All the newspapers will shut down and go bankrupt like some now. The papers will be online like they are now, because it's easier and faster to look up or update a post. The newspapers online will cost money but not as much as they do now, but I think people will pay that money. They would pay the money because it will be cheaper than getting a newspaper delivered to you. That's what I think the news will be like in the future.
