What I’ve done

So far for my project I have decided that I am going to make a short video. If I run into problems with that, then I will go back to using screen shots with captions. I have done my best to find the different clips from the film that I want to use. Today I am going to make a timeline of events that I want to complete for this project.

Why I’ve done it

I really wanted to make a video because I know that it will challenge me. I have never bad a video or done anything with video editing. I wanted to learn a new skill.

Timeline

• M, 11/10: complete research and find the video clips that I want to use
• M, 11/17: (won’t be in class) But I will start to put together all of my clips in the order that I want
• W, 11/19: Go to innovation space ad start putting the clips together
• F, 11/21: Work on the video again and try to finalize
• W, F, M, W, 12/3–12/10: present my final product
• W, 12/10: change anything that needs to be changed before turning it in

The Halloween party had quite the spread — Benny’s, cookies, candy, and professors in costumes.

Here’s a selfie of me and Nick at the English department’s Halloween party.

Happy Halloween from

the English Department party! 

I decided that for my last project I was going to build Pinterest boards off of significant events that happened throughout How I Met Your Mother. As of right now I have four boards, Ted’s love interests, the gang, the slap bet, the gang’s family members and Ted’s architecture. Eventually I am going to make a board about Canada, Robin Sparkles, Lily’s fashion, Barney’s suits and Marshall’s Vikings. I want to try to come up with additional boards but as of right now those are my ideas.

Happy Halloween! In honor of the holiday, I uploaded an actual selfie of me. Which is pretty out of character for me, so it’s fairly apt.
