TELItime - Tumblr Project


This concept is good, and bad. The idea of people seeing your private info and maybe things you didn't want others to know. This puts me of the idea. Then there are other things this 'blurb' might show, such as criminal records. This would (to me) be a positive aspect of this idea. So yeah, this concept has bad sides, and it's good sides. To make this concept better I would suggest a 'Deactivation' button of some sort. The Relationship status idea to me would be a good idea, just in case anyone got hurt of felt a bit jealous then did something they regretted. Overall I rate this concept/idea a 6 and a half out of 10.

Movie Challenge Reflection


Movie Challenge reflection
Embed your movie into your blog. Write a reflection underneath that outlines

1) What your group did well?
Our script was alright, we just weren't good actors.

2 ) What would YOU do differently next time?
Make it shorter, and take some scenes.

3) Based on the criteria, how would you improve your movie if we gave you time.
We worked as a team but sometimes some people mucked around and it just took to many takes. I felt like the message was pretty good we just didn't show it that well. Camera angles is a big thing that we should change.

Criteria:
-Teamwork
Able to work collaboratively as a team to produce a movie
-Quality of message
Life Ed theme. Shows understanding or learning from Life Ed programme
-Able to use film making conventions
Camera angles, dramatic intention
-Sound quality

Addiction Process



Legend:
-200 = Feeling Horrific
0 = Feeling Average
200 = Feeling Awesome!


If you are having a look at this graph you would probably be wondering, What does this "Addiction Process" graph actually have to do with addiction?! Well that's why I am typing this blog post to explain to you what addiction means. First of all if we don't know what the Legend is we can't really understand this graph. So take it like this, -200 = Feeling Horrific, 0 = Feeling Average, 200 = Feeling Awesome! There is also the numbers on the bottom. B4 means before the drug, and then after like 1 and -1 means (1) when you take the drug and you feel fantastic. and -1 when you like are having a withdraw from the drug and you feel horrific. Let's try put this into a narrative, there is a guy called Phillip and he recently made some new friends! But what he didn't know was that his friends were into Meth. So he got pressured into doing the drugs and he felt fantastic (apparently drugs make you feel that way). After the affect wore off he didn't feel normal he practically went on a low (opposite of high, kinda a joke). So he had the drug again because he loved the feeling of "feeling" fantastic! But he couldn't get to the feeling he had when he first had the drug because his body got used to that feeling so he kept going from high, to low. Eventually he became addicted. Eventually his wife found out about the drugs after she did some snooping when she realised he was acting rather peculiar. Once she found out she took his kids and went away and said "I'll come back with the kids when you quit!". So he tried too quit. And did after some hard work and never touched the drugs again. They also lived happily ever after. The end.

I hoped this helped you with understanding this graph and how addiction works, kinda.

Addiction is when you need a... drug (or the thing you are addicted too) to feel normal

Methamphetamine Blog - TELItime Work

Methamphetamine has lots of names such as... Meth, Crank, Scooby Snax, Crystal Meth and the quite popular P.

Methamphetamine has lots of affects on the users like muscle loss, twitching (like tourette's syndrome), body temperature rising, teeth rotting, hallucinations and much more. Nearly everyone who has used P has been affected severely, wether they affected someone else or them selves they normally don't know until after the affect is over. Some people either killed or did some other horrible things. Like Antonie Dixon and Steve Williams (who to me did the worst).

Steve Williams ended a young child's life for forgetting something at home when he was dropping her off at school. So as you can see it ruins lives.

Antonie Dixon was convicted of theif and murder, he severed 2 womans hands with a samurai sword. He was tested and said to have meth in his blood.
