Proactive or Procrastination?

Don't Be a procrastinator and hold on to your idea

Personally I think I am a procrastinator. Some people may say that I am a good worker and stay on task, which is true. Sometimes. When I like the work I am doing then I do the work, I stay on task and I do it well. However if it is something that I don't like to do such as social studies or history I talk to my friends I goof off and I don't get things done. I also always do something that really bothers me. I always say I am using my time wisely but I am not. I say that I will do some today and some later. I still get things done but not as efficiently, if I was going to get things done early then I would get things in on time instead. I don't really want to be a procrastinator and I want to change, I guess why I do this is because I want more free time each day.

Don't Be a procrastinator and whatever you do
DON'T GET SUCKED INTO THE COUCH

The level of my productivity relates to my free time by getting things done. What I mean by that statement is that when I get things done I have a bunch of free time. When I don't though, I have not as much free time. What I do in my free time is I just go on the computer, play games and sometimes watch youtube. I don't do very much in my free time because I don't have very much to do in my free time. I don't surf, I do have a boogie board but I don't go on it very much. I don't play any sports or are on a sports team, I do have some sports equipment but I have no one to play with, their usually doing work. My mom also has me do a certain schedule that makes me work almost everyday academically. The schedule is: on monday I do khan academy( (math), on tuesdays I explore the microscope we borrowed from the school, on wednesdays I have to do teenbiz3000 and it has to be a 100% or I will have to do it again, thursdays I do a thing called i-ready which our school just started doing,fridays my mom makes me research greek and roman engineering, last of all on saturdays I do more I-Ready. So, when I do my work, including my moms schedule, I have a lot of free time although when I don't do my work I do not have a lot of free time.

What I would change about my work habits is trying harder. When ver something is really hard I usually just try it a couple times more increasingly trying less and less and then I just give up. I don't like the way I do that but it is just the way I am. I was a born procrastinator and I don't like it. If I could change anything about my work habits I would probably say I want to try a little harder before I give up. I am working on doing that now by taking around 5 minute breaks then trying it my best all over again until either it gets too late or I get to the point where I say "I need someone else's help because I am going no where with this." All in all what I am trying to say is don't be a procrastinator, be proactive and always try your hardest at the most difficult of times. Don't be like me and give up.

My Visual Poem

My visual poem was about imagination. How this made an impact was by saying how everyone has imagination even when you sleep. When you sleep you can imagine pretty much anything and you can even lose your imagination. Thats how I end the video by saying that you lost it. Then I say you can still get it back though. My visuals made an impact because without the visuals it would just be plain video and it would be boring. With the effects though, you could make it look like you were flying or make it tinted.

How my special effects make the meaning of it by coloring it and making it sad or happy. Also I panned some things with the ken burns effect. What the ken burns effect does is it gives you a start and an end point where you can change the start and end point to make it smaller or bigger and you can make it pan zoom in and out. My visuals tried to make my poem a little bit deeper with meaning, and tried to give it a little help with understanding. It made my overall meaning even better than if I were to have it without any effects.

I think rating my poem I would give it a 8/10. I rated it this way because I think it is the best I could have done but there will always be room for improvement. Even if I think it is the best thing imaginable someone else could come and say oh this is wrong and so is this. Also I can think of some things that I could have improved on, and that is the exposure on some of the shots. Some of the shots are a bit too bright.  Also some of the shots are a bit tilted. Which in some shots it just sets the mood but in some other shots it looks amateur. This is my poem plan I used to help myself to complete this:
