 Yesterday I participated in a track meet. This particular meet was the championship meet for the city of Fort Lauderdale. This meant that every school in the city was there to participate and our boy’s team had won this meet every year since it was introduced. Going into this meet, for once, we were projected to lose and come in second place. I credited this to the laziness on the boys team. Most of the boys believe that their the best so they don’t have to work to win anything. Many of them do have natural talent, but that was only going to allow them to win so much. After the dual meet season was completed and we where in competition season, it became evident who had natural talent and who wanted to fight to win. I personally consider myself a fighter because I don’t have natural speed and I never once told myself I have a guaranteed victory in any of my events. So when entering the nerves begin to kick in; I do pole vault which is one of the first events ran so I was over in that area. Because I hadn’t pole vaulted all of spring break, this meant that the last time I had pole vaulter was Counties, which was two weeks prior. I was ranked in the middle of all the pole vaulters so on paper I should’ve beat at least half of them if everyone jumped their personal record(PR) mine of which was 9 feet 3 inches. I couldn’t event take off in my practice jumps but by a miracle I left this meet with a new PR of 9’6. Onto the running side of my events the first event I completed was 110 meter hurdles. I end up with a new PR in this event also and placed second in my heat. Onto 300 meter hurdles, this is where the title of my blog comes into play. My 300mh race was absolutely tragic. I feel on the third hurdle, spraining my ankle in the process. I’m still dealing with this injury and there are time where I can barely stand, but that fall wasn’t the end of my meet. New to me, I ran the 4 by 400 meter relay. My adrenaline pushed me through this race with my sprained ankle and I was glad that I ran it even after falling hard earlier.

Title research: The First Purge

Image
- What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The titles displayed in the opening sequence are the studio title, the production companies, and the movie title. These are Universal, Blumhouse, Platinum Dunes, and The First Purge respectively. Like Ma, these are the only titles displayed in the opening sequence, meaning that the actors, producers, directors, etc aren't shown until the end credits. The font of the title is extremely and colored with the colors of a moving USA flag, red white, and blue.  - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The First Purge has a relatively long opening sequence, therefore there are many images prioritized. Going in chronological viewing order, the first image prioritized as the scar of one of the movie's antagonist. The second image is the face of another one of the movie's antagonist. The third image prioritized is unemployment rates on the news. The fourth image is the stock markets going down by large percents. ...

AICE Media Studies Production Blog: Wrapping Up

      Difficult is the word I would to describe filming anything over 10 minutes. Punishing is the word I would use to describe this project. The fact that we are in the middle of a global pandemic and are still held to the same standards as if we were not is truly sickening. This project along with many of my other Cambridge ones have been mentally and physically draining. The amount of energy needed to continuously push through this school year is completely absurd. We are students, more over children. We have lives, many of which have been on hold due to the pandemic. I cannot stress to you how many times I have contemplated the unthinkable this school year. I’ve lost almost everything, from my girlfriend in a tragic accident to my grades; I’ve even lost my hope and trust in people. I started this academic year off believing that everything in my teacher’s, school’s, district’s and even state’s power would go into making sure we received a proper education suitable for...
