Six Word Story10/25/2017 My six-word story talks about my experience, moving to the US. A lot of people don't realize this but America is just like in the movies. The football team, the cheerleaders, the lockers, and even the school buses! I loved doing this story because it was so fun to get to use a locker, throw a football and many of the other things that i did for this video. None of it felt like work, it was always a lot of fun and laughs. I picked all of my shots because I thought they were an important part of everything that shocked me in America. I still remember waiting for the bus on my first day of school, even though I was terrified, I still remember the excitement of getting to ride the bus. Another example is the time I have lunch here. In Spain I would I would have lunch at three, here it’s at twelve. One experience I won’t forget is when I was handed my schedule and had to figure it out, I didn’t know where to start! Some of the struggles I had were planning all the shots and actually managing to do them with my resources Andrea coordinating everything so that it looked okay once editing. My advice is to start filming as soon as you can because sometimes redoing it is necessary or recommended. You also have to remember that editing is a big part of the project. Plan ahead as much as you can, and give yourself time.

19 Shots Gallery10/11/2017 I did the 19 shots in two tries. The first group of shots I did inside the school with my iPad. It was difficult to take them without the tripod that the camera usually has. We had to be in a weird stance to get the least amount of shaking possible. This can't be seen in the screenshots but it was a big part of the process. One of my favorite shots was the Bird's-Eye View, it was hilarious to have Ellie lie on the floor and pretend to be dead. Another really good one was the Wide Shot at Noa's house, the surroundings were just really pretty. I definitely enjoyed filming the Collapse and Contract Dolly Shots, we decided to film Noa driving towards me and me going towards or away from her. A lot of jokes about me being run over came from that. The last one I think should be mentioned is the Shadow Shot, although it's not in the six screenshots below I believe I should talk about it because Ellie started dancing to "La Macarena" and it was a good laugh.
Shoutout to http://noahahn.weebly.com/ for featuring me in her blog post, I look ridiculous but I'm going to say it's the thought that counts. Six-word story10/3/2017 Most six-word stories I found were very deep, if not outright depressing. The feelings and situations you can transmit with so little can be quite overwhelming. I am going to try to make mine funny, or at least upbeat since i don't want to make my audience tear up. One good example is: We're lying in bed. She's lying.

www.sixwordstories.net/ Ernest Hemingway revolutionized the writing world when trying to prove his friends wrong. They were eating at a restaurant and they said he'd be unable to write a meaningful story in six words. He didn't have a very good life (he committed suicide) but in the writing world he was a genius. AuthorI am a trilingual traveler who wants to share her experiences with the world. Archives
