Hello Everyone,
This week's journal entry is to make a poem out of newspaper headlines. Well I am not one for poems but here is is...
Pitt-Johnstown recruit adjusting to the states
Backpacks assure weekend calories
Lodges' renovation noted at meeting
Ticket rubbish may cost $180
I took these headlines from the Pitt Johnstown paper from October 11th 2017. I think it shows a little bit of life on campus and whats going around. But there's more of a meaning about using titles from something else.
The unit we just got done discussing in class is plagiarism and the different forms that is can appear. Then we had the complete a project where the only original idea we used was the project it self and how to put it together. I made a motivational speech out of famous video game quotes and edited them together to make it somewhat coherent. This was my first time video editing in the sense and I enjoyed it greatly. Putting the videos together to make sense was the difficult part. Since the videos came from all different game, trying line up the parts was difficult. Also since each video has its own sound and vibe to it, trying to transition between the different clips often found the video not making too much safe. Overall though I am please with the results. From an idea that started from comic strips to my first time video editing, I am happy with how it turned out. If you would like to view the video, here is the link to it and below I will paste in the text version of it if you would like to read it!

Hey listen./ The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take... inventory./ One can only hope that one leaves behind a lasting legacy. But so often, the legacies we leave behind...are not the ones we intended./ You'll look back and laugh at whats past and ask yourself, how in the hell did I get through all that./ Death is inevitable. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. It's a losing game. Without passion, you are already dead./ Do not hesitate to leap. It is only when you fall that you learn whether you can fly./ The harder you beat a man, the taller he stands./ The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world./ Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost./ If history only remembers one in a thousands of us, then the future will be filled with stories of who we were and what we did. But until that day comes, we will stand we will look death in the eye and we will fight.
