My project for Round 1 of Genius Hour may not be complete yet, but I think I have done great at getting to where I am now. I’m doing this project because I’m willing to inspire others to be creative and to do things on different apps that I recommend. Today, I will share with you how I’ve gotten to this point in my project.
At first, I felt that there really wasn’t anything to do in my project, and I felt like switching to another project having to do with drumming. But then I had the idea of researching how to be a better director. After all, I’m not much of a leader, but I have tried to lead before. It’s very tough. Maybe this will help, I thought. It didn’t really help me, so I researched how to be a better actress. That didn’t help either.
At this point, I hit a brick wall in my project and it made me feel like not doing it after all. But I couldn’t quit. Then, I remembered something. I needed more cast members. I also needed recorders to record us acting. So, I chose people like Denise, Miranda, and Abby to be cast members. I chose people like Saule to record for me. But what would the cast members say, I asked myself. So, I decided I’d make a script and share it with everyone in the cast. Then, in Round 2 of Genius Hour, I’d make copies of them so we all could do rehearsals.
After the script was made and edited with the help of my friends (Miranda and Denise), I thought that I was ahead of everyone on my project. But I was wrong. I still had to make a website, an exclusive interview with myself, and two songs on an app called Garage Band. I still am working on that, especially on my storyline for my website.
Then one day, Mira told me she couldn’t be shown online. That changed everything. I got really frustrated because that was how I planned everything. I would do everything in real life. But then she gave me the idea of doing it in Minecraft, which is my favorite game. I decided that I should do it, because all the cast members have to do is read fluently and play Minecraft. Plus, it would be a special way of doing things. But then, she told me that she couldn’t get Minecraft on different iPads. We came up with the solution of putting masks on Mira and Denise. This made things so much easier for us.
If I could travel back in time, I think I’d think quicker at the beginning about actually preparing. I would also spend more time on Genius Hour at home. I would probably make my project a little smaller as well. But I think I did a good job on staying inside for recess just to work on Genius Hour.
Also, like I’ve said, I will be doing rehearsals and making the movie in Round 2 of my project. I know this because if I said this would be done by the end of this round, it would be unfinished and I wouldn’t get a good grade on it.
That concludes my blog on how I got from there, to now. Until next time!
