Videography

I thought it looked cool in the beginning when they were showing their feet walking. Also it was cool how you could hear them working on cars in the background while the interview was going on. It was kind of funny how they were all doing pilates at an auto shop, especially since they are all guys.

Videographer Demo Reel

A young guy is on the road and boating a lot because he wants to be a pro bass fisher. He has fished his entire life and thats all he wants to do. Also there is a "dare" to ride your bike for 5 days from one location to the next. There are surprisingly many younger kids, and there is no competition, its more like training. Another thing was that a family's house was torn down because of a tornado and they were very upset because the house ment everything to them. Someone offered to build them a new house, but they are still really sad that the house has to be torn down. One more thing is that people are camping out by a spartan statue. Its a tradition of the school to do this and kind of protect spartan.

Man an a Goose Form Unlikely Friendship

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/02/28/eveningnews/main20037484.shtml?tag=cbsnewsLeadStoriesAreaMain

An old retired man and a goose are friends. They walk around the park together, and the goose waits for him everyday. People say they walk around together like they are in love. The park is having a clean uo by the pond and the goose will be relocated, they don't know where yet but the old man hopes he can still see her.
This is probably the weirdest story I have ever heard. I didn't think a goose could get so attached to a person. It's also kind of cute in a way.

Topic: High School Teens Not Getting Enough Sleep

Angle: Students Not Sleeping Enough

B-ROLL [STUDENTS WORKING ON HOMEWORK, GOING ON FACEBOOK, TALKING ON PHONE] [STUDENTS] [CAMERA ON NEWS REPORTER]  [STUDENTS ASLEEP IN CLASS, NOT ABLE TO PAY ATTENTION] [STUDENT]

A-ROLL High schoolers are constantly staying up late. When they aren't doing school work they are often socializing into late night hours. "I HAVE 3-5 HOURS OF HOMEWORK A NIGHT. I HAVE SO MUCH HOMEWORK I BARELY HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE UNTIL SUMMER COMES AROUND." Around 2/3 of the students at Eastview alone are not getting enough sleep. So there is one big question, are teachers pushing the student too far? "I THINK THE BIG PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WORK TIME IN CLASS. IF WE HAD A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WORK IN CLASS, IT WOULD CUT THE TIME I WORK AT HOME IN HALF." "I GET HOMEWORK FOR EVERY CLASS ALMOST EVERY NIGHT. IT'S VERY STRESSFUL ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE TO BALANCE IT WITH 2 SPORTS AND A JOB EVERYDAY." It is said that on average a teenagers in high school should be getting around 9 hours of sleep. Also most teenagers say they can't physically fall asleep until around 10 or 11. Because school starts at 7:30, going to bed at those times makes getting enough sleep impossible. "I USUALLY CAN'T FALL ASLEEP RIGHT AWAY, EVEN IF HOMEWORK ISN'T KEEPING ME UP. WHEN I HAVE A LOT OF HOMEWORK I USUALLY ONLY GET ABOUT 5 HOURS OF SLEEP, BUT EVEN WITHOUT IT I ONLY GET ABOUT 7." There have been talks around the country about later start times at high schools. It has been said that it could make a huge difference on how students perform in school. "IF SCHOOL STARTED JUST AN HOUR LATER, I FEEL LIKE I WOULD BE A LOT MORE ENERGIZED AND READY TO GO TO SCHOOL. AS OF RIGHT NOW, I RARELY GET ENOUGH SLEEP AND I WONDER EVERY TIME I WAKE UP IF I'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY." Reporting for the flash, this is Maddie.

Interviews

Alexis Hamacher
-Why do you think students form cliques?
Because they all get along well with a certain group of friends.
-Do you think there good and bad cliques?
Yes, the good cliques don't exclude anyone and they are nice, the bad cliques only allow certain people to hang out in that group and they just make fun of people who aren't like them.
-Why do you think certain students get excluded from cliques?
Because they arent like the people in the clique and the people in a clique might have a problem with the person who wants to be part of their clique.
-Do you think that there is a leader of a clique?
Sometimes, in a bad clique I think that the "leader" tries to control how everyone acts and who they can be friends with but in a good clique I think that the leader would be the one who makes everyone feel good and gets along with everyone.
-Do you think that cliques are a good or bad thing?
I think they can be good if everyone that wants to be included is included

My Neighbor ( who is a teacher)
-Do you notice cliques at your school?
Yes, mostly with the girls. There are some very nice cliques and some that aren't so nice. I always see 2 cliques getting in fights with eachother.
-Do you think that there is a leader of a clique?
Yes, I have noticed that all the cliques have a leader. Some of the students that are in a clique are actually very nice girls, but the leader of her group as her controlled.
-Do you think that cliques are good or bad?
I personally think that all students should just get along, I know that isn't very realistic, but if everyone respected eachother I don't think we would have a problem with cliques

Girl Student
-Do you think its hard to get into a clique?
Yeah, if the leader doesnt think your cool then you don't get in. People change all the time and if you don't fit in with them anymore you have to find a new group of friends.
-Why do you think students form cliques?
I think that students for cliques because they want somewhere to belong with people they can get really close to and trust.
-Have you ever felt like you have been excluded from a group or clique?
Yes, its not always easy to get along with everyone and you have to be friends with the right people to be in a popular clique. I think there is a lot of pressure to be cool in highschool.
-Why do you think students get excluded from cliques?
I think they get excluded because they don't get along with everyone in the group. If one person doesnt like them, then usually everyone doesn't and that makes it hard to get included in a clique.
-Do you think cliques are good or bad?
I personally think they aren't good, you can have a group of friends but that doesnt give you a reason to put everyone down. If everyone was nice to eachother we wouldn't have any problems.

Active Voices Quiz

I did pretty good on the quiz and I learned that a passive voice uses words like by and the. An active voice shows what is happening. It removes word like by an the to make it an active voice.
