Profile Project Progress

For our profile project, we're interviewing Ian's dad, Kenneth Kimura. We're interviewing Kenneth on how going through what he's gone through shaped him in the person he is today. He went from being a janitor to a manager of Kauai Lagoons Pro Shop. We did this project to show people to always try your best because even thought Kenneth went through a lot he still thrives and this helped him understand the true meaning of success.

We had trouble getting together to film outside of school. We were one of the last groups to finish the Production Plan, but we were one of the first people to film B-Roll and the interview and get it done.

Our group can really improve a lot. Not just improving the visuals or the quality of the video, but to actually work as a team and to learn to get along. We can also improve by compromising with each other and to not always fight on the little edits in Final Cut Pro. We can always meet in the middle and to not get caught up in all the fighting that we've done but to work it out as a group.

Our group can improve our video from good to great by putting more B-Roll and to not show the cuts in the video whenever he's answering a different question. We can also improve our video by putting our video in order because during our video he talks about going to college and then he talks about how he loves soccer.

Practice Story Reflection

During our practice story session, my team did okay. The only thing we could've worked on more was teamwork. We didn't communicate well together and we were just doing our own thing. This is why we were behind on things. We looked around the room and saw the other groups working together, and getting their videos in on time. Then something happened, we spoke up and we told each other "hey, we need to work together to get this done."

I actually knew we weren't necessarily gonna get things on time. When we started our interview session we were fooling around and not really on track. Then when we started on the B-Roll session we only got one clip. When we started editing in Final Cut Pro we saw that we were lacking with B-Roll and by the time we found out that we needed more it was already to late.

So when the last thirty minutes came, we communicated with each other, we worked together and most importantly we did teamwork. Kirklyn Nishida and Ian Kimura edited the video in final cut pro while Mia Lopez and I were working on our transcription sheet. When Mr. Sanderl said that we had to start exporting, we weren't even close to finishing. But that didn't stop us from getting it done.  Although we didn't really get things in on time, we finished it as a team!

All About Me

Hey people, here's a little description and background information about me....

My name In Jonnika Alumpe but I usually go by Nika. I was born and raised on the island of Kauai. I started school at Kilauea Elementary School. I graduated in the 6th grade and continue going to Kapaa Middle School. I am in a program called Gifted and Talented or G.T. This program is for for people who like to challenge themselves. It gives you an opportunity to learn about technology.

When I'm home, I usually practice playing the piano and sing. I made a YouTube channel. I started play the piano about two or three years ago. When I wanna a learn recent songs I go on YouTube for tutorials or I listen to a tune and just start paying. I've been singing for as long as I can remember. The world would literally be nothing without music.

I've always wanted to be a doctor growing up. But ever since I started playing the piano, and I wanted to become famous ever since. When I am older I would want to travel the world. I plan either working in the music industry or become a doctor. My mom is a nurse and she has influenced me to become one. Hopefully, someday, I get to make my parents proud.
