A way nature impacts my life is it always makes me happy to be outside. I love exploring different things outside and learning of different animals in nature. Looking and smelling the ocean and flowers everywhere. Nature is always so pretty to look at that's one reason why you have 5 senses touch, smell, hear, look, and taste. Each one you can use in nature. You can look at all the beauty, you can feel the wind in your hair, smell the flowers,  hear the birds chipping, and taste fruits that grow, you are able to use all your senses in nature.

Time lapses are created by taking a video and speeding it up to make it go really fast. Like you take a 5 minute video such as a sunrise then you would speed it up from 5 minutes to maybe 5 or 10 seconds. A slow-mo is created by taking a video and slowing it down. If you have a wave crashing down on the sand like I do you would take that 5 second video and slow it down to maybe 10-15 seconds. Also when your taking a video for a slow mo or time lapses always use a tripod or environmental tripod a.k.a the ground. As you know if your taking the video just your self holding the camera its not "Oh it might come out shaky" it will come out shaky.

The hardest part of this video was getting the videos that I needed and trying to wake up early, not moving the camera and trying not to get sand and water on my camera. I over came those problem by getting a good night sleep, using the ground as a tripod, and picking up my camera when a wave was coming. The best part of this project was seeing everything in nature, the brightest sunrise, teal clear waves crashing, golden specks of sand, wet clear raindrops, and the stunning sunset. I also loved editing my video because I can think back about how amazing nature is.

Critique Results: I think that I could have got a better grade in this project. I think that I could have done some extra work and really pushed towards a 4/4 instead of a 3/4. I got 9 that voted for a 4 for me, 16 people voted that I got a 3 and 2 voted that I got a 2. I would say that I got a 4 because I had extra time-lapses and extra slow-mos. I also had all the requirements in my video to get a 4/4.  I did notice that some of my clips are shaky. I also noticed that one part of my clip was a black part but that wasent from rearranging it it was my roof in the video.

Poetic Personal Statement

Poetic Sketch

-What is poetry? Poetry is a story that has or rhyme or a rhythm to it. Poetry is creative writing. Poetry can be thoughts that pop into your head, “off of the top of your head” some people say. It’s a way of expressing your emotions. There can be different genres love, sadness, happiness, etc. Each genre can make you feel that that poem relates to you. Sometimes poetry can be turned into lyrics for a song. Poetry is used to express your feelings. To show the emotion you are feeling at that moment or time. Whether your happy or sad, angry or mad, excited or scared, or proud or embarrassed.

This is my poetic statement for this project:
As I look across the waves I become braver and stronger.

The puzzle that stumbled me is now gone. 

As I kill the fear in my head, the gears in my brain start and no longer veer. 

The focus that woke us, spoke to us saying,

Poetic Statement

"Each time you move you improve, proving yourself.
When you prove yourself you get in the groove and move.
Each day just live, laugh, and love.
Every time you live you thrive,
Each day your laughing your dancing and splashing,

Poetic Statement Project

Everything you love you think of, your one of, your part of and proud of."

One reason you use rhythm and rhyme is because it give your poem a beat, and it can get catchy. Your more drawn to actually listen to the poem rather then sitting there thinking of something totally different. When you you use rhythm and rhyme you become more interested too and it become fun to read your poem in a beat. How you use rhythm is to rhyme, when you rhyme it creates a beat that catches the reader. For example in my poetic statement there is one verse followed by many other rhyming verse that rhymes "Each time you move you improve, proving yourself." As you read that you can see the beat that is in that verse.
