When you drop your phone on a tile and does not crack.

That feeling when you get a new phone and are rubbing it in to all your friends telling them how special you feel and how they don't have a phone like yours well, then everything turns around and you are the one that is in bad position because BANG, it slips out of your hand, you see it falling, your panicking, your friends are screaming, your reaction is everything but good, but nothing helps the fact of what just happened. Once your new IPhone 7s plus hits the ground, it lands screen first and is flat on the ground and is just sitting there. You don't know weather its broken or okay but either way you are ready to yell and scream like there is no tomorrow.

Usually when this kind of stuff happens you just feel like your always the unlucky one and your telling your self " why, why me?" but you still don't know if it's cracked or not. But knowing myself I am just worried about what my parents will say, what they will do and what happens next!!! If you made me pick a couple words to describe my feelings right now and what I'm thinking it would have to be scared like a elephant is about to sit on you and end you ( Lol ) or even as nervous as watching a action packed movie with a nerve racking scene that could end the whole movie, like do you understand how serious this is!

That second when you lean in to grab your phone, you know that its the moment of truth that will decide the rest of your life, also weather or not your parents will ever trust you again with things as expensive as your LIFE. For example your life means everything to all the people around you but to you your phone is the same situation!!

Some tips on what to do before you pick it up are, If its cracked don't tell your siblings because they will go right a head and tell on you in a blink of an eye no matter how much you bribe them. If its not broken then make sure to get your self a protection case that will actually do something to protect your phone in case this ever happens again or if an over 100 pound thing like harambe falls on it, because I am pretty sure we have all been there am I right?

Now once you have spent the right amount of time so at least 20 to 30 minutes discussing this with your friends what is going to happen, then its time to reach in and grab the dang phone. As your hand is moving towards the phone your shaking, your sweating buckets and buckets of water and now when you flip it over you gently close your eyes and wait for the reaction of your friends then open your eyes. BANG!!! your life is saved, theirs no cracks, no marks, no nothing! You just spent all this time wondering and worrying what this means for you when in stead you could have just picked up the stupid phone and saw it was as clean and shinny as a glass cup that was just washed about 30 thousand times. Now that's AWESOME

Genius Hour

For my genius hour project I would like to learn how to create and edit You tube videos and then post them onto my channel!

Week 1 

I want to learn how to do this because I have my own You tube channel and my first couple ones were not the most edited videos but now I am taking on the challenge of making them even better! After today I learned a lot of good things to keep in mind when editing videos, for example don't just add random clips into the same section or it will just be way to confusing, also I learned that you want to make it as interesting as possible so your viewers enjoy it.

Week 2 

So far I am really enjoying my research on editing videos, I have learned a lot and still have a lot to learn. I have been putting together some videos and clips and to be honest they look way better then before and I'm extremely happy with my progress so far.

Week 3
I am using an app called adobes spark video to create and edit all my videos. I found out about this website from one of my classmates, he said that this app was very useful for him when he was making his videos so I toke his advise and made an account of my own on the website.

Week 4
So as you know I have been using adobes spark video to make and edit my videos, but I came across some problems with the website and app that were keeping me from doing what I want to do with my videos which are put a bunch of clips together and sometimes add music but the website or app will just not let me. Now its been a couple weeks and I have started using this other app called you tube capture and its perfect, it has just what I need and more. The video I created with you tube capture is very basic and has no music but I finally was able to put the right clips in the right order without any problems. Here is what I created!

Week 5 - 6
Today I was doing some more research and watching some video editing videos on you tube, Then my brother came into the room and told me we had to record a taped audition for Netflix's season 5 of Degrassi Next Class, And that gave me an idea for my genius hour project because I would be recording him and editing the clips also putting them together so its ready to send to the producers!
It took us exactly 42 takes for one clip due to the fact that he kept forgetting his lines but I don't blame him because he memorized them all within an hour Coodo's to Lucas! The audition was uploaded to my you tube channel but on unlisted and privet so that only my brother Lucas the producers and I can see it! But believe me it is excellent and I sure hope he gets the part!

Week 7
So as you know I have been using you tube capture to create and edit my videos. I have decided to be a bit creative so I looked up some other websites and apps and came across the app called Shnarped. For my first time using shnarped I think I did very well. Here is my first attempt for shnarped!

Week 8
Over the past weeks I have learned a lot about video editing for example like having the camera facing sideways is the best quality in stead of strait. I also learned that editing in general takes a lot of patents due to failure or as I said a lot in the process " imperfect ".

Week 9
Its the end of genius hour and I have learned a lot about video editing and creating over the past weeks.
