Power Outage
Like the title says the power to Houvland went out a little after 9. I still have not slept and will most likely not sleep more than 2-3 hours after class tonight because another project is due tomorrow morning. I freaked out when the power cut. Fortunately there are temp files and so my info was saved otherwise I would have had nothing to bring tonight. Back to work.
Deadlines!!
The filming went well yesterday. It took me about 7 or 8 hours and I filmed 12 different people. I even had a little round table discussion with 3 students and then a parent. The parent happens to be my mom but I thought it was a different approach that could have worked even better if I had more time. Filming parents would have been very beneficial. I interviewed my mom for a parents perspective. They happened to stop by yesterday and watched virtually all of my filming. My dad would not participate because he’s really shy and gets nervous. I went to Houvland to upload my hour long tape and a smaller one. It takes just as long to log and capture onto a computer as it does to film. After that I have to put it on the server which takes at least another half hour to an hour. My hour tape did not work so I wasted a large portion of my time in which i should have been working on a project that was due this morning. I did not get the project done and will turn it in Wednesday in which I will most likely get only partial credit. I have been in Houvland now for the past 6 hours editing and it will take me a good 7 more. One of my friends is helping me to edit which is fantastic because the quality will be much higher and it will cut my time working. I may get to take a nap before class. I haven’t really written anything unfortunately because I have been devoting my time to the video. I think it will work out because Theo is writing and I’m doing a lot of video. I hope to contribute a little bit of writing but I doubt I will have the time. I’m going back to editing now but this will probably be one of my last updates before it’s finally due. I also need to get a dvd so I can burn the finished product. I’m exhausted.
