Journalism! class our deadline is march 21,2008

and i know some of you gave up already, you think we wont be able to finish it ,that its impossible by it not you guys.we can finish this project.

Here is some tips on i movie

• Rather than spend a lot of time pondering the order of clips you’ll drag to the time-line, drag them all in and rearrange them in there. You can easily rearrange clips by simply dragging a clip up from the time-line and dropping it into another location—you can even rearrange multiple clips simultaneously. You can also move clips back into the clip pane from the time-line.
• iMovie allows you to edit video to your heart’s content without permanently altering the files. This is known as non-destructive editing. Here are four ways to edit clips without destroying your files. (If you ever forget which clips you’ve trimmed, remember that untrimmed clips have rounded corners at both ends, while a trimmed clip displays a straight edge on any side that was altered.
• Need to shorten a clip? Just select one, position the pointer at either end, and drag toward its center. Dragging from the left side trims the beginning of the clip; dragging from the right side trims the end of the clip. The farther you drag, the more you trim. For precision editing, watch the preview window as you drag to see your exact edit point.
• to extract the audio witch you would do for b role ,you would need to go to (advance)extract audio.Then move to the time-line and you’ll see a purple line of audio under the clip u extracted it from(the purple audio thing is in the picture i put above were i am talking about dragging clips)
• You can have audio clips (dialog or music) display as audio waveforms in the time-line (from the View menu, choose Show Audio Waveforms) to help you visually see the audio as you edit it. However, you can also listen to the audio clip while you’re trimming it by “scrubbing” the audio (manually playing sound by moving the play-head across a clip). Just select an audio clip, hold down the Option key, and drag the beginning or ending of the clip toward the center to trim the clip�the play-head will follow your movements. You’ll hear the clip being played (though somewhat oddly) as you move your mouse
• for transitions with make your video way better so you wont have any jump cuts go to edit then click on transitions and you can preview all of them before you add them on to your clips and there is other options like for you can add titles, effects ,audio for your soundtrack and etc.
• oh and always save your project,when ever you finish something that seemed hard or big because i had very bad experience with that(once when i was doing a battle of the bands documentary i was working from 3pm-7:30pm i did a lot!!!!! it looked awesome, then something happen to the computer and all of it was erased because i didn’t save it. I wish they would have told me sooner ) yeah! so save it every 5 min even to be on the safe side.

well there was some tip i hope it helps you guys and if not just ask me

-good luck you guys!!

ugh the phone sucks so bad. man, it’s not even funny. my phone is once again messed up! its a kyocera. i bought it for $170 and it has broken 2 times since i got this company, which was 3 months ago. God, this is so annoying! the screen is messed up. i can’t see who is calling me. i can’t text!!! worst of all, i guess i can’t complain. my bill is still cheap – 50 bucks for unlimited Internet, calling and texting!!!!!

i went to the iron maiden concert on Feb.19,2008 That was officially the best day of my live so far!!!!!!!!

i was awsome i got there at 6:00pm and was in line till 8:00 .ugh these guys next to me were smoking cig after cig after cig im serious they’re gonna die of lung cancer and they were only 15-17 of age and i dont even think there was a min. were they stopped to breath fresh air, only to light another one. god i started getting headache (god i hate cigarettes).

when i got in i felt so far away from the stage i got sad and my friend nicky and my boyfriend julian got front row privileges because nicky is in the iron maiden fan club and won it. he was only able to take one person and he took my boyfriend.

the opening up band was steve harris’s daughter Lauren Harris’ band (she was pretty and i respect her cuz shes steves daughter but she in my opinion sucks bad vocals ) at that point i began to realize this is not a dream. i really am here. I’m really gonna see iron maiden!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had to get to the front, so i made it my goal. there were over 100-200 people in front of me. i mean, sure i was gonna feel it in the morning but who cares? it’s maiden! so i did it! i was right in the front row for iron maiden. i saw them up close they were like 2 ft away from me! it was amazing!!!!! they played an awesome playlist all their old stuff:

• aces high
• 2 min to midnight
• revelations
• trooper
• fear of the dark
• The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
• the number of the beast
• can i play with madness
• wasted years
• moonchild
• heaven can wait
• the clairvoyant
• powerslave
• and of course hollow be thy name

Every little girl dreams of rainbows, butterfly,ponies,etc.

ive been seen alot of rainbows lately with the rain.They reminded me of when i was a little girl and how i got so excited when i saw a rainbow i thought it was amazing!!i remember always asking my dad what made a rainbow??? he always told me “rainbows come out when grandma is happy,”he always told me that the rainbows come out cause of me,that she watching me from heaven and i made her smile.And yes i believed it ,well come on i was little and my grandma love me very much.(i love u grandma!)

on sunday i saw 3 rainbows,thats when i started thinking what makes a rainbow??

Sunlight is made up of the whole range of colors that the eye can detect. The range of sunlight colors, when combined, looks white to the eye. when the sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. They take the form of a multicolored arcs, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch. More rarely, a secondary rainbow is seen, which is a second, fainter arc, outside the primary arc, with colours in the opposite order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on the inside. the sequence of colors is quantized The most commonly cited and remembered sequence, in English, is newtons sevenfold red, orange,yellow,green ,blue, indigo and violet.

wow thats so cool!!

so i was watching the discovery channel at 12:30 in the morning. It was about giant squids.what i thought was so interesting was how the squid eat,they grab there food with there two tentacles. They just wait around hovering in the water till it prey comes and and it grabs it really fast. These cephalopods prey on soft bodied animals like fish and other giant squid. Their long, slender bodies are well adapted for darting after other rapid animals. They have a strong, calcified beak buried in the centre of all those gangle arms (tentacles) that can break and pull at flesh. Inside, they have a snail like radula (or tongue) that rasps away at soft tissue from prey.

the biggest squid they got pictures of on their second try was a squid that was 200kg and nearly 3m long in total. That’s pretty big for a squid!

AND SQUIDS HAVE THE BIGGEST EYES OF ALL ANIMALS!!

“somewhereback in time tour”. omg Im going to see Iron Maiden feb. 19,2008. It took me so long to get my tickets i was outside of some place the day they went out on sale from seven in the morning i waited 4 hours alone and in the freezing cold when they finally opened the store i ran in soo happy and said”you guys have a ticket master right????” the lady said no! i got sooo mad! i called my mom and started yelling i wanted to cry. She was the person who told me they had a ticket master there. My mom had picked me up and took me to a ticket master in commerce and my heart was beating so fast i felt my pulse in my head. I was as red as a tomato, “welcome to ticketmaster how can i help u ?” i asked the man for one iron maiden ticket, general admission at the forum. Thats when it happened, i got numb, wanted to throw up. i felt light headed i even drop alot of things from the shelf. i had broke down in tears, the man had told me “im sorry but they’re all sold out since 10 o’clock this morning.” that whole week sucked. My dad called me and i told him what happened. my dad said, “dont worry u’ll get them, ill ask my friend.” 2 weeks went by still no call. then on november 24.2007 my phone rang. it was my dad. he told me to go to his house to pick up the ticket. I was speechless .i went as soon as i could. When i had the ticket i danced and i pranced cry with joy. i cant believe im going. Its gonna be my first time seeing them, im sooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!.Ive been to alot of concerts: sodom, blind guardian, dragonforce, edguy, epica, destruction, amon amarth, children of bodom, hirax, stratovarious and more. they were all awesome! but none of them are going to top Iron maiden the best band ever! I been dying to see them since the 7th grade. my dad and uncle went to all of them they are so lucky!.The tour im going to is the”somewhere back in time tour” they’re bringing back the powerslave tour. said steve harris, “l always loved the Powerslave show which I think was arguably our most spectacular ever, so taking it out again is really going to be a lot of fun”.
