With the 13 days of school left, I hope to keep my grades in the A's and B's. If they aren't at least a B-, I need to work harder to raise them.

Storyboarding and Videotaping

1. Establishing shot-  In film, a camera shot that establishes a scene, often as a long shot. This is a common maneuver at the beginning of Hollywood films, especially if the setting plays a significant role.


2. Reverse shot- a shot that views the action from the opposite side of the previous shot, as during a conversation between two actors,giving the effect of looking from one actor to the other.


3. Extreme Close-Up- A picture taken at extremely close range; for example, an extreme close-up of a face might show only an eye. 


4. Over the Shoulder Shot- View of the primary subject with the back of another person's shoulder and head in the foreground. Often used in interview situations.


5. Action Shot- showing someone or something in motion.

If I were to create a music video, what song would I choose and why? What would some of the video shots be for the music video? The song I would choose would be R.E.M.'s - It's The End Of The World. Since I have a blog about Ipads, it would show the destruction of the world because Apple would finally allow Adobe Flash player on it's mobile products like the Ipad, Iphone, and the Ipod Touch. It's mainly because Steve Jobs would never allow Flash player on his products

 Some classes I don't like to answer because I feel like I would be made an example. Some classes, the teacher makes me feel like I am not very smart even though the class is an advanced class. I'm am rarely ever praised if ever. I really don't enjoy some assignments because they are time fillers or are way too easy.I prefer work on the computer or Ipad if I had one. 

The New Part of the iBooks App. You can now get a limited selection of Textbooks from Pearson, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and McGrawHill. Here is a link to the iBook page iBook Link. It would be useful if schools could get Ipads at a discounted rate when purchased in bulk by a school. I would like this so I wouldn't have to carry home my entire locker. Also the school wouldn't have to spend thousands of dollars on textbooks because the iBooks textbooks can be purchased in bulk at discounted rates for schools. Or you can get a book for $15 or so.

I am against S.O.P.A I really didn't care about the Wikipedia blackout because I have an Ipod Touch and I have the Wikipedia Mobile app. The blackout didn't affect the mobile much. It only had a little banner about S.O.P.A. Also on my PC, I would just hit the little X to stop the page from loading completely. I will now be getting off my S.O.P.A. box now.

Now I am back in school. this is week 2 of the third nine weeks. Here's what I hope to accomplish: Pass the 11th grade and get an Ipad 2.

Since I'm in high school, I have finals to take.I have finals in Art, English, Math, History, Graphic Imaging, Chemistry, and Spanish class. I have already completed my History and English finals. My Art and Spanish finals are almost done. I still have to take my Math, Chemistry, and Graphic Imaging finals. I have a formula sheet for Chemistry. It's a tad hard to study for Spanish and Math because of the wide variety of stuff we studied. In Graphic Imaging, we have a project to do in 1 period.

Ipad 3 Rumors

Just like everybody else, I'm waiting for the Ipad 3 to come out. It would be nice if these things would cost less than a mid range laptop. These things should cost at least the same amount of a net book. I hope they install some HD cameras, flash for the camera on the back of the Ipad, SIRI, and maybe a USB port. These would be some nice additions to the Ipad and put it farther ahead of the other numerous Android powered tablets.

The post below is a review about the Google Earth App for the Ipad. Enjoy!!!!!

Ipads with Siri. If it ever comes to the Ipad, it better come before the Ipad 3. It would most likely come in an update. If the Iphone 4s can have it, why can't either Ipad have it? They both share similar hardware and software. It would make logical sense to put it on the Ipad. 

What do you plan to do for someone special during the holiday season? I plan on, if it snows, snowplowing the entire block I live on with my gas-powered snow blower. there are some older people who live on my block who most likely can't or shouldn't be out shoveling snow. This helps them out. I have fun snow-blowing anyway! 

Facebook making phone, code-named 'Buffy'

I know this isn't related to Ipads, but there isn't really any news about the Ipad that isn't interesting besides rumors. Facebook is working with HTC to develop a phone that has a much deeper incorporation with the social network than any phone. Nicknamed "Buffy" after the vampire slayer of the same name, the phone will run a tailored version of Google's Android OS. With is nothing normal because HTC does this to many phones they produce. This phone is getting a few more tweaks than some of the other HT phones though.  We can now play Facebook apps via HTML5 support. This would permit users to play games like Farmville and Poker straight from the Facebook app. Now we don’t have to download a separate app for each game, that’s if there is one for it. With a name like Buffy, the Facebook phone's assignment is clear: slay all comers. Apple might have some competition now. That phone better be loaded to the gills with performance and a battery life to slay the iPhone 4s or 5.

 

Well, this is my first blog. I am going to do it on Ipads. The iPad 2 is the second and current generation of the iPad, a tablet computer designed, developed and marketed by Apple. It serves primarily as a platform for audio-visual media including books, periodicals, movies, music, games, presentations and web content, and is available in black or white.The first gen. Ipad is essentially the same except it doesn't have cameras, comes only in black, and is a bit thicker. The only thing they share in common that isn't Apple related, is the inability to use Adobe Flash Player.

That's all for now!
