My group, consisting of Matthew and Marco,and I struggled this week to decide on what kind of film we want to make. Our first idea was to make a music video but our idea was just not original enough. Therefore, we brainstormed other ideas and decided to go with a documentary. So far we have came up with questions and narrowed them down. We decided on one and then did test runs on the type of answers we would be getting. We also decide where we would be shooting. The audience there is expected to be varied so we would get different answers from every person. We do have a set filming date where we will get most of our shots and hopefully they will all be useful.

What Music Means to Me

Music gives me a feeling of relaxation. It is also stress relieving. When I listen to music I completley zone out and just think. There are however different types of music for every one of my moods. When I am happy I listen to music with rhythm more upbeat. When I am sad or I need to think about something I listen to slow more calm music. My favorite artist is Bruno Mars. He helps for all my moods because his music is varied. Listening to his music you  can go from sad to  happy . He has ballads, Reggae, and up beat modern day songs. A couple of my favorite songs by him are Just the way you are, Show me, Young girls, and his most recent hit Uptown Funk. Some of my preferred artist include Sam Smith, Taylor swift, Enrique Iglesias and Shakira. with their music they help me de-stress my self and feel happy about another day.

Problems and Sturggles

Students, including myself, go through many struggles. Not always is it something as bad as bullying or abuse, it can be worries as simple as how to keep your grades up or what to wear; things that everyone has gone through. There are many other simple problems, I am sure, that students go through daily and finding a solution to then can be difficult at times. Although I struggle alongside many other students for simple problems, there are others who suffer with more severe ones. For example, being bullied or judged or the feeling of being excluded. These problems, which start of as a joke to some people can end up with disastrous consequences if the victim is pushed to there limits. In todays society, teens, particularly in high school base who they are on what other people want to see and not who they truly are to avoid being ignored.

The Most Interesting Person

The most interesting person I know is my uncle. He is the most creative and funny person I know. Whenever we have family reunions he is always the one telling stories and he makes sure to keep us listening. His stories are always about different things , things we don't expect to hear about and when he's not telling stories he's telling jokes. Not only is he the most interesting because of what he tells us but his personality is very interesting too. He is very giving and he likes to help out anyone whoever he can. I enjoy spending time with him because I know it will be a blast.
