Three things I didn't know:
1.) That Disney even had a new princess coming out.
2.) That people could honestly be this controversial about a cartoon characters ethnicity.
3.) That not only was this new princess going to have a new show coming out but also a movie.
Two opinions I had:
1.) I liked how they explained themselves about why they wanted to not only make a new princess but also why they decided to make her seem like she was from a different race.
2.) I dislike the fact that people have to be so judgmental all the time about other people, even if they are fictional cartoon characters. I mean seriously!? We're all racist enough as it is in reality, do we have to be against some fictional cartoon character? I think that's a little extreme.
One question I have:
1.) Why is it that people always have to be so negative about everything that goes on in the world even if it's a cartoon?

First Article: Film Directing Tips - What It Really Means To Be A Director!
Three things I didn't know before:
1.) That the director really doesn't do a whole lot in terms of the making of the film.
2.) How much effort really goes into the film making process in terms of all the people you need to make a standout film.
3.) That being the director has it's advantages and disadvantages such as being able to be the one to say that the film was your idea and that it wouldn't have happened if you didn't speak that idea or not really having a huge roll in the production of said film.
Two opinions I had:
1.) I liked all the tips they put into this article about how to be a great director for your film.
2.) I disliked how they pointed out that a director doesn't do a lot in terms of the development of a film because I feel like that might discourage some people into not pursuing a career as a director.

Second Article: California Bars Employers From Demanding Employees's Social Media Log-In Info
Three things I didn't know before:
1.) Well, I didn't know that employers couldn't request social media log-in information.
2.) Facebook and Twitter were used by universities to screen students.
3.) I didn't know that many more states were doing this also.
Two opinions I had about the article:
1.) I didn't like how they even decided to use these social gathering sights to decide whether or not a student or a potential student for a university.
2.) The fact that they are actually banning this is a great thing because it really doesn't give these people any privacy.
One question I have:
1.) If this will actually become law all over the U.S.?

First Article: Making Water Wigs With Lasers, Microphones and High-Speed Strobes
Three things I didn't know before:
1.) That the opening picture was gonna be so freaking cool.
2.) That you could use lights and water to do things like this that are so cool.
3.) I would've never guessed that this was done with water balloons. It just isn't something I would've guessed.
Two opinions I have about the article:
1.) I liked how absolutely cool it looks with all the lights that they are using on the water.
2.) I didn't like how they do it because it doesn't sounds like an easy thing to do because I want to replicate something like that. Bottom line is that it's cool.

A nice horrifying game I plan on playing when it comes out in early 2013. I might not sleep very well.

Week #4
What I learned this week:
How to use GarageBand which is a very fun program if I might add.
What I want to learn in the future:
I would actually like to learn how to add animated effects in a video like a fireball or lightning shooting out of someone's head.
Something that made me happy this week:
I finished my audio story early this week and I think that it fared well. I really like it.
Something that frustrated me this week:
Nothing in this class frustrated me this week, also because it was a short week. I think the only thing that frustrated me this week was that when I get back to school after BOCES I have absolutely nothing to do in any of my classes because it's just a boring week. If I didn't have BOCES this week would have just been a waste of my time.

Second Article: Six Filmmaking Tips From Joss Whedon
Three things I learned that I didn't know before:
1.) Well, for starters, I had never heard of this guy in my life.
2.) I had no idea that the man who directed The Avengers also made strange shows like Dollhouse which I didn't care for. I'm more of the paranormal kind of guy.
3.) That he started out not doing to much or not having a clear idea what he wanted to do with his life and he is the one behind films like The Avengers and Cabin In The Woods.
Two opinions I had on the article:
1.) I liked all the ideas and thoughts that he implemented into the article for those people who really want to get into the video or film industry.
2.) I disliked the tip Sometimes A Drought Comes Right Before The Downpour only because I'm actually a very impatient person when it comes to waiting for things to come or work. That's probably why I won't get involved in this particular industry.

First Article: Dawn Of The Dead Pets
Three things I learned that I didn't know before:
1.) I wasn't aware that Tim Burton not only made movies like Batman and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but also made the movie Frankenweenie.
2.) The work that has to go into making these kinds of films takes seemingly a lot more time than your average animated film.
3.) The process of making the characters takes sketching them out first before you actually make them into their respectable figurines AND before you begin shooting your film.
Two opinions I had about the article:
1.) I liked how Tim talked about how he had his own dog and how it passed away too because I had a dog that I loved as well and he unfortunately passed away as well about a year and a half ago.
2.) I disliked how Burton produced the movie Nightmare Before Christmas which I HATED!!! That movie was stupid and it drove me crazy because in my eyes it was a musical and I hate musicals.
One question I have about the article:
1.) How long did it take for them to finish making this entire film?

Second Article: ParaNorman: An art in the making, with filmmakers Chris Butler and Sam Fell
Three things I learned that I didn't know before:
1.) That the movie Coraline was done in Stop-motion.
2.) That so much had to go into making a full length movie using Stop-motion.
3.) That there was even a movie like this.
Two opinions I had on the article:
1.) I liked how they went into detail about the making of the movie.
2.) I didn't really dislike anything about the article. I thought it was very well written.

First Article: How Star Trek The Next Generation Changed Pop Culture Forever!
Three things I learned that I didn't know before:
1.) I wasn't aware that Star Trek had such an influence on the technology that we have today like the iPad.
2.) I didn't know that the show on Star Trek was so successful. Usually, when a movie comes to T.V.'s as a show, it doesn't do so well.
3.) I didn't know that Star Trek influenced the development of certain other T.V. series that may not have done so well or did just as well if not better.
Two opinions I had on the article:
1.) I like how much of an impact movies have on our culture and how technology develops across the country and even the world due to movies.
2.) However, to strangely counter what I just said, I also dislike the kind of impact that movies have on our culture because some things are better off not messing around with. The last thing I want is for somebody to develop a virus that turns people into zombies. That wouldn't make for a good weekend.
One question I have about the article:
1.) How many more movies that come out are going to have a significant impact on our society and our lives?
