My thinking process

For the go world video I thought of things I could do. I first thought of doing a video about me  moving here to Texas and talking about how I felt , but then I thought it would just be easier for me to do something that occurred recently so that I would have more of a connection. I wanted my story to have more of a punch and more emotion so that the observers could feel something when watching my video. Thinking about how I wanted to write it was difficult because I knew what I wanted to say, I just didn't know how I was going to set it up. At first I was going to start from the very beginning from when I first got my guinea pig but I didn't want my story to be too long so I just wrote mine in a that was then and this is now way. In a cause and effect way. I wrote a total of five drafts.

I changed a few words around to make it sound better. I asked a couple of people to read mine and the feedback I got mostly was that I needed to improve my vocabulary. I needed to have more words that would create an emotional punch. Creating my video I went to Animoto and got pictures off of my iPad after I linked my phone's pictures to it. Then I put my pictures in order of how I wanted them to show up in the video and then I choose the type of music I wanted. Putting the words on there was kind of a challenge because they all wouldn't fit on the slide. Because of that I had to chop it up a bit. Doing this project made me a little sad, talking about my guinea pig because I had her for a long time. Since I was in the sixth grade. She meant a lot to me and I got a little tearing and almost didn't do the project on it but I thought what else could I create a video about. When my video was revealed I was alittle sad. Memories came to me as I watched slide after slide of my guinea pig. It made me realize that she lived a good life. It made me sad but at the same time happy because I thought back to the little things she would do like when I would hold her in my lap she would move around to get comfortable and that lit a small candle inside me.
