Out of many one people

     When you run away from Jamaica because as you say things too hard here and you simply can't bother anymore and then you go to another country with your same lazy attitude, wicked thoughts, negative outlooks and your attitude to simply give up because you can't bother to initiate change what do you think will happen in the long run to the place you run to believe it or not its going to turn out the same way. You can move to a new place but change begins with you. Some of you are so ungrateful because if it wasn't for the Jamaican culture you grew up with you wouldn't be the man or woman you are today. Last year everyone was proud to be a Jamaican celebrating Jamaica 50 and now everyone wants to leave because we have this big hurdle in front of us the country I grew up to love had people who would never ever give up no matter what the reason why we are the way we are now is simply because no one believes in our motto anymore "OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE"selfish desires have led us to be a country with no promising  future

Trip to the National Gallery

   I must say at first I wasn't very excited about going to the National Art Gallery worse when the heavens opened up this morning and the rain came poring down however I decided to enjoy a day out with some of  my classmates and I made the journey. The place was quiet and allowed me to have some time alone trying to think like the great minds of those who painted and sculpted the beautiful pieces I saw. There were a couple revealing pieces that had us laughing from ear to ear my personal favourite piece had to be the one called Clitoris another one that stood out to me was the hand of water and spirits I really felt that one.The day was a nice one as we had good fellowship with each other even though we were few in numbers.

Yippie!!! Script Writing

When I saw the list of modules for selection this semester and saw Script Writing among the list I was very excited. Excited, not because I'm good at it but because I want to be good at it learning the skill of script writing will help in all areas of my work as a journalist. I believe that if I had known the skills for script writing when doing Comm. Studio 3 I would have done a better job with my photo novel. Script writing class thus far has been engaging and I believe I am well on my way to improving with my scripts. I look forward to sharing more on my journey of changing the world through my writings.

Genres

 Miss came prepared to class on January 22,2013 with a colourful powerpoint presentation that depicted and explained several genres in film. The class was lively has students recalled various films that  they had seen and applied them to the lesson being taught. According to the the power point presentation a film genre is a recognizable type of movie, characterized by certain pre-established conventions.

Primary Film Genres

• Drama
• Comedy
• Action
• Adventure
• Horror
• Science Fiction
• Animated
• Crime
• Fantasy
• Suspense
• Documentary
• Musicals
• Family
• Westerns
• War

I was blown away by how many movies miss has watched, I guess when you have an interest in something you have to give it your full full attention. I enjoyed this class and I learned many new concepts that I wasn't aware of previously and it gave me a new perspective so the next time I watch a movie I will be watching more intently.

The battle of August Town

Visited the community of August Town yesterday with my classmates to get first hand information needed for our group project. Lets just say I know august town had some issues but I never expected to see what I saw. The residents were depressed and the structures they called homes were as shaky as their spirits. The experienced allowed me to be more respectful of the hard work that my parents have put in to ensure that I have a nice home and for the blessings that God has given me. Jamaica is far more than the land wood and water let us remember the people.

Papine Project

 Class today saw us going through the premises that we have written in preparation for the completion of our project later on in the semester. Miss examined the premises and gave feedback and assistance on the steps we should take to get our project under way. Class today showed me that with proper preparations I can prevent some of the stress and pressure later on in getting my project completed on time.
