My name is Andrea Baez, I'm 15 years old, I am the oldest out of three siblings. I am from San Diego, California. I've lived in Clairemont my whole life. My favorite color is black. I enjoy swimming and hanging out with friends and family. To this class I'm going to give support, help others, work hard and collaborate with my peers. By the end of this semester I want to have stronger relationships with my classmates and to become a better writer.
Blasa Project Reflection
1. How did you feel on the first day of school compared to how you feel today? What things have contributed to any changes in the way you feel?
On the first day of school I was a bit nervous, but I started talking to some of my peers and now I feel way comfortable. I know more people than I did in the beginning of the school year.
2. If you could build a third Balsa rocket, what would you do differently and why? I would make the body of the rocket about 7 inches, wings curved that are evenly, a pointed top. Make sure the measurements are exact.
3. After watching some other students’ films, what themes or common traits have you noticed?
Mostly all of the films had background music which was entertaining to watch. Some films had like comedy in it.
4. Is there something you saw in someone else’s film, that you wish you would have done in yours? What was it?
I really liked how some people used humor in their video.
5. Do you see value in being able to create a film about your work? Why or why not?
Honesty I think it depends on the work you are doing, because for this project I think it was fine that we created a film about our work it shows the contribution you and your partner did and the process of the project. For me it was a little hard trying to use iMovie since it was my first time ever using it but now that I have experience I feel like I would do a better job with iMovie in the future
6. What are a few things you plan to do differently on your next film and why?
I would add more time-lapse videos, make the building a little shorter, add the most important parts, and add a bit of comedy. Make the video more fun to watch.
