Highlight Video



     I used several tools to make my video in Final Cut Pro. The blade tool was probably the most helpful tool I used in editing my video. This tool is used by pressing command b on the keyboard and then clicking on the part of the clip that you want to “slice” in half. You can use this tool to trim clips of your video. I used it to help get the video on time with the music. I also used the left and right arrows on the keyboard so I could end and begin the video at the exact time that I want it to. I picked cheerleading because it is my favorite sport and activity. It’s really fun but hard at the same time which is what I like about it. I also like it because I met most of my friends through cheerleading. I’ve been cheering since I can remember. Cheerleading is my absolute favorite thing to do.

Examination of my dream home

          I am pretty satisfied with my dream home. One of my favorite things about it is all of the windows. On the right side wall of the house there is a large window panel. On the left extension of the house there is a window panel that basically covers the whole wall. There are also three arched windows which I like because they add some unique-ness compared to the average rectangular windows. I think windows are a simply way to make the home look better on both the exterior and interior.



         My absolute favorite thing about my house is the roof top garden. It's a creative idea and I really like it. I created the fence, grass, and railing. The palm tree and flowers were from the 3D warehouse.  My house is plain, so this garden helps spice it up. I also like the railing's color. My house has little color, so the railing adds color. 

        Using Sketchup helped extend my knowledge of shapes and was helpful for not only animation but all of the other E-comm branches. It will be useful in graphic design to have some prior knowledge to modeling and the shapes over technology. Now that I can model in three dimensions, it will be even easier when I'm only modeling in two dimensions. I think that having used Sketchup will help in the future and it taught me a lot.

My Personality Type

My Personality Type

    My Myers-Briggs personality is ENFP. I'm enthusiastic and I think about the possibilities. ENFPs are social and being in group of people makes them happy. They are curious about life and people. ENFPs also make decisions based off of their feelings.
    I think that I am an ENFP. Almost all of the characteristics relate to me. The only one that is a little off is that I don't like to present or talk to a large group alone. But, I would prefer to be with a group of friends rather than alone or only with one friend. My personality explains why I like cheerleading so much. ENFPs are very enthusiastic and cheerleaders are full of enthusiasm. 
    When I'm in a team I generally will talk a lot if I know what we are working on. If I don't really know the subject too well then I'll let someone else take the lead. I'm flexible with what we're doing and that's a  characteristic of ENFPs. My personality is social but sometimes I can come off as quiet. I'm pretty good with talking to people now but I used to be kind of quiet when meeting people. I don't have big issues with anyone and that may be because I'm flexible with the situation and I can "go with the flow".
