Q2 media Fluency Wendy
What I did about my slide, is that I wrote a few
words about me in my favorite color and also that describes me, I also put a
picture of me, to show how I do. I put a Mexican flag on my slide because
people think I am Asian but i am not.I put red hair dyed because
I love dyeing my hair when I am bored and one of my favorite colors is red. I
also put a dog on my slide because I love dogs and every kind of animal and I
also have two dogs. I put a piercing on my slide because I have my lip pierced
and I think its pretty cool. One of my favorite stores is Hot Topic they have awesome
stuff and sometimes have what I like; jeans, shirts (with cool writing on them)
, another favorite of mine is Hollister I love that store even if they have
high prices but there clothes are nice. I have Hello Kitty because she is
awesome and so cute, and I just love it !
Lobbying Blog Post #3
I need to have some people in higher power because the mayor and the governor are all for the curfew. So either I get people who are higher then them or a lot of people who can try and persuade them. I think I have the support of parents. The mayor and governor have the most power in this situation and I'm not totally sure how to stop them, or make my point known for that matter. I think I need to move every decision maker because if I'm not mistaken the most of the voters that voted on this bill were pro instead of con.
I'm not sure who all is working on it but I do know that there are a lot of concerns. I know a couple of my classmates are doing the same topic but I'm not sure who they are. I don't see anymore dates for meetings about it or anything. From the looks of things it seems as though they don't want or care about the publics opinion anymore.

Music Melodies Compose My Thoughts
The picture of me is very simple and I have a very intricate swirl of thoughts representing music. I speak music to represent I represent it. Note that the word are Qis not very important, so it is relatively smaller.
From http://zachholman.com/posts/slide-design-for-developers/, I learned that a slide should not cram info. From http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2008/08/learning-from-the-design-around-you-ikea.html I learned that there are certain colors that contrast , so I have a black background. From, http://www.apple.com/iwork/tutorials/#pages-hero I learned how to use Keynote’s Alpha.
http://buzzmarketing.com/2010/11/26/advertising-techniques/ taught me to use the word “you” or “your” far more than “I” “me” or “we.” And to make things pop out.
I bled my picture out the side and made the headphones pop
out against the black. My thoughts of music spiral from my head into ooblivion.
There is a minimum of words on my slide. They are absolutely relavant. And they
are tilted slightly

I learned that having a bold color stand out would make your slide look better. And having a item replacing a letter makes it look nice and would catch you eye.
Here is another Slide Design that I though was good aswel.
It help me out because having a million words on word slide which makes the reader go crazy. So put your words in simpler form.
When I read then Zen link I learned that the picture can bleed of the page. And also I learned that the slide should have a cycle so the eyes of the reader will go around and around and around.
I chose the theme of before and after. The reason for this is because as i grew I released what life really was and that you cant depend of everyone and you have to do things by yourself but you still need help. Just like a flower, it grows on its own but it still needs water and sunlight to grow beautiful and strong.

I used this because it gave me a idea how to express myself and how to support my words.

-to be treated badly by bosses

-we are allowing people to pay the workers so little
-we are ignoring the rights of other human beings.

Centelleo centelleo pequena estrella
Trabajo de Trader Joe's es muy dificil,
Ellos no tienen remuneracion adecuada,
y recoger tomates durante todo el día
Espero que las cosas cambien muy pronto
Porque me encanta Trader Joe's!
El trabajo en Trader Joe no es justo.
Deben hacer más que ellos.
Me encanta la comida Trader Joe's.
En realidad es demasiado barato
Recogiendo tomates durante todo el día
Es muy caliente cuando lo hacen
Pero a pesar de que no es justo
Alguien tiene que hacerlo!
Era una broma,
Yo no soy esa media,
Pero esperemos que Trader Joe's fija su problema pronto,
Porque yo tengo hambre de unos tomates...
- What it's like to work as a tomato picker in Florida?
Es muy dificil porque es trabajo mucho. Hace mucho calor y no es que mucho dinero. (The people are forced to work in the heat to lift very heavy barrels of tomatoes for very low prices. This is a very bad problem that can hopefully be solved).
- The problem with buying tomatoes from Trader Joe's?
Si ousted compra los tomates, que apoyan de trabajo. Pero es difícil a evitar. (If you buy tomatoes from Trader Joe's, then you support the work that the people are doing in Florida. Or it simply shows your ignorance towards where the tomatoes are actually coming from).
- What we can do about it?
Podemos hablar con los gentes, y mostrarles el problema. (A lot of people aren't aware of the problem happening in Florida, so maybe if they knew, then they could help change things with us and spread the word).
Trader Joe's Project
- what it's like to work as a tomato picker in Florida
The work is really hard and painful. They usually work in horrible conditions and for little pay. - the problem with buying tomatoes from Trader Joe's
Trader Joe's has refused to boycott companies that make it possible for these conditions to continue. The workers would like one cent more per bucket of tomatoes. - what we can do about it
We can boycott Trader Joe's and write letter to the CEO. It's not fair for working people to earn less than minimum wage.

Q2-Stop Motions
With my first two stop motions I focused on the things that we do with our hands. The first things that came to mind was food and water. Therefore, I took one picture at the beginning and moved my hand 2 centimeters closer to the Reese's™ cup like I was trying to eat and took a picture. I keep doing this every two centimeters until I took a bite of the Reese's™ cup. Another part of this stop motion was my friend drinking a bottle of water. The same concept of taking the pictures that was applied to me biting the Reese's™ cup was applied to her reaching for her water bottle and drink it. After taking all those picture i uploaded all of them from my camera to iMovie. I Then, make each picture fit the screen and take up only .2 seconds of the video. This was able to make it so that it would look as if it was a video playing. Sadly this video cannot be uploaded. However, I uploded the video to my blogger account. Here is the post.
With my third stop motion I took the project a step further by making everyone who agreed to help do a dance. The dance I chose for them to learn was the robot. It was simple and I knew the perfect song that I would play in the background of the video. The same concept used to make the last stop motions was applied to this one. The only thing different was that I edited the video to make it seem like it was more of a music video or a trailer for a song. The song playing in the background is "D.A.N.C.E." by Justice. The video is shown beneath this post.
The things that i learned from doing this project are that it is important to keep the same frame or dimensions of the picture to make it seem like the video has more of a flow. I problem that I had while making this project is that you have to take many pictures for the video to be long. Within the second video, I took 140 pictures at it is less than a minute long. Overall, I had a good time doing this project.
