Mockumentary Post

My team members were Red, Yanet, Tyvery, and Makayla. Our mockumentary was about animal planet and how they observe animals in their natural habitats. But instead of observing animals, we observed humans, ratchets to be exact. My part in this production was recording the video. The easiest part was recording the video and creating ideas to portray the ratchetness. The most difficult part of the video was creating the idea and figuring out how to add music while I was editing it. Something we could have done different was use a better quality camera. Overall, I honestly enjoyed creating this video and editing it.

How To Video

My team members were Red, Yanet, Makayla, and Tyvery. Our how to video was about braiding. My job was to help write the script for Red. Something I would've done differently is write a more detailed script. The easiest part of the video was recording it. The most difficult part was editing it because I had never used this software before. But afterwhile, it became easier for me. It was interesting to see how people actually edit videos and what software they use to different things.

Making A Website

     At first the concept of making a website was very difficult for me. When we were making the practice website, it was hard for me to follow. But as we started going along, it wasn't as difficult for me. The most difficult part about making the website was the SpryAssets portion. I didn't understand how to link the pages but the more I did it, the easier it became. Because we made a practice website, creating the career website wasn't too difficult. It actually was pretty simple. Overall, while we were developing our practice site I did not really enjoy it but after we finished made our career site, it wasn't such a burden to me.

Website Reflection

I think my website is turning out well. Creating certain things is somewhat difficult, but it's interesting to finally figure out how people make these websites.

Video Commentary

I think eventually we'll reach this point in technology but I don't think it's safe. Something like this could control every human mind.

Theme & Goal of Website

Theme of Website: Nursing

Goal of Website: To inform others about the nursing field and how to become one.

3 Good Websites; 1 Bad Website

https://www.google.com/

-Brings results up very quick and easy to use

https://www.youtube.com/

-easy to find videos, search tool is on the home page; convenient

http://www.pandora.com/

-simple layout, easy to find different stations, has almost every music genre

-I hate everything about this website. Search results aren't usually accurate, hard to find what you're looking for, and brings up results that have nothing to do with what you searched for.
