10/22/2018 0 Comments Six-Word Story Research BlogErnest Hemingway wrote a famous six-word story that reads, "For sale: baby shoes never worn." Although there seems to be a sad story behind this, Hemingway simply wrote this as a bet with fellow authors for $10. Hemingway seems to have been inspired by several similar stories that came out in newspapers earlier. In addition to researching Hemingway, I also looked at six-word stories by other authors. A few that I like are, "'You think too much,' I pondered," and "A house filled with joyful noise." I learned that even though six-word stories are short, they tell a story equally powerful to others.

During this unit in broadcast technology, we learned how to shoot video using a camera and edit clips using Final Cut Pro X. While video taping, we learned how to put the camera together using the camera, battery, SD card, tripod, and a tripod plate. We also learned how to zoom in or out, adjust the brightness, and how to white balance, which is adjusting the color balance on the camera so that all the colors show up accurately. In addition, we also learned certain rules about video taping that make the video better. For example, we learned about the Rule of Thirds. In this rule, if the field of view is broken up into nine boxes, the main focus of the video should be at one of the intersection lines. We also learned about the three basic shots when filming: wide, medium, and tight. The subject and a lot of the surrounding area are present in the wide shot. In the medium shot, the main focus is still in the shot, but it is less of the surrounding area. In the tight shot, only the main focus is present, and sometimes, it is even more focused. We also completed a six shot project and a circus wagon project, in which we had a wide shot, a medium shot, two tight shots, one extreme tight shot, and a re-establishing shot. When editing these, we learned skills like how to detach audio, add transitions to both the video and audio, extend clips, cut clips, add titles, and adjust color and brightness.
