Viruses

I know about the topic simply because computer viruses are a serious problem for the whole internet. Computer viruses, I know, are programs that take control of your computer and do things, many times against your will.
I wonder how computer viruses are made. I also wonder how some viruses can self replicate.

I was called out for the day

College Exploration on Naviance

Google Day #4

Today we tested the camera on Sebastian's phone simply to begin the recording process by testing out the camera and filming several clips to use in the final project. Of these clips, we have gained footage of the school campus, and of some short interviews. Next class we will have the majority of the video finished, after putting together the clips into a finished project after school.

Google Day #3

Goals
1. Enhance and develop our understanding of the video editing projects.
2. Think of ways to make an endproduct which will show our understanding of the subject matter
3. Our project will also include a segment on how to make the film high quality

This link was helpful because it told me how to make a high quality and professional video without a sizeable budget. Helps with goals one and three.

Although the past link was more general, and also more fitted to what we are planning to do, this link was a lot more specific about other qualifications of shooting a video, such as the screenplay. Helps with all goals.

This link is talking about the basics of video editing. It is really useful for our goal and very useful. Helps with all goals.

Today, I learned how to shoot a good movie, and how to edit it correctly and create a clean, professional film. I learned that a camera is essential to shooting a good video. I learned many video making tips, such as the importance of lighting, and the use of a separate microphone to ensure premium sound quality. The background is important too, since it needs to be undistracting yet pleasant to the eye and melded with what is in front of it. Multiple location shots add flashiness to the video, but used sparingly can also give off a sense of professionalism.

A new goal for next time is to begin the project! With all this new information that we have both separately gathered we can surely make a report of what we need to do. Also we need to get the supplies. If it is not possible, however, to begin the project next class, we will just keep researching.
