My Visual Poem

My visual poem is about my pop warner football practice. Some of the pictures are of my football team doing warm ups, drills, and scrimmages. I think the visuals helps make an impact by making my poem more interesting.  People can learn from it and may want to know more about football.  They may even want to watch other videos on football.

I am not satisfied with my results because I needed to add in more special effects and work on my timing with the pictures and my voice.  Also I accidentally cut out the last line of my poem because I pressed the button too early.  I could make my visual poem better by having the last sentence in my video.  Then my visual poem would be more complete.

Finished News Story

Our story is about Coco Palms getting rebuilt. After getting hit from hurricane Iniki, Coco Palms was destroyed and closed down.  Then on the fourth of July (2014) parts of  Coco Palms were burned down.

The people who contributed to this project were Neliza, Makena, Shanden, and me (Zephen).

 Our final project turned out good because we met the standard for this assignment.  I am happy with our project because we got one of the highest scores.  I agree with our group's score because we had some camera movement, were not that clear and had other tiny problems. Even though we didn't have the best Hiki No Project, we still did good.We did our best as a team.

Real World Report

My World News report is about the lava flow on the Big Island, Hawaii.  The lava flow started from Kilauea volcano back in June.  It's now headed to Pahoa village.   The lava flow moves 5 to 10 yards per hour.  Now the lava flow is about less than 100 ft. from 40 to 50 homes.  The lava has been flowing over grass lands, trees, and tall bushes.

I think Hawaii should care about the lava flow because it's giving off lots of smoke.  People who have respiratory problems can get sick from breathing in too much smoke. Also if the lava flow doesn't stop it will take over a lot of land and houses.  A lot of people may have to move because they might lose their homes.

My opinion about this issue is that people in Pahoa should be prepared to move just in case the lava comes.  They should pack their food, clothing and their special things.  If they are not prepared, they may have nothing left if the lava burns their house down.
