Proactive or Procrastination?

To be honest, I'm a procrastinator. I know when stuff are due and sometimes I just barely finish it. I always try not too procrastinate because it sucks. Seriously, I don't like it because it makes my parents mad and I get grumpy when I have to do work. I really want to get rid of this habit. Not only do I blame myself for this, I blame the projects. Usually I would blame myself, but to be honest, some of the projects that I have to do are to hard, a lot of work, and sometimes the team you have is not a really good team. I work hard but honestly, I'm a procrastinator.

My level of productivity relates to my amount of free time by the faster I get things done then the more free time I get. Since I'm a procrastinator, I barely have free time. Sometimes homework that I have to do that are very easy I usually put those to the side then work on the bigger homework like projects or quadruple homework. Then I just forget about it. Then I have no free time and I get stuck doing a lot of homework. So being a procrastinator can take away not only your free time, but it also takes away other people's free time. Not only does it stress you but it stresses everybody else.

If I could change anything about my work habits, I would work on my OWN desk and listen to music while I'm doing math and those things. the desk because I don't have my own desk that I can put my things on. Music because it is one of the things that I like to do and I work faster listening to music.Getting my own desk would be hard and I don't know how to get the desk. The music will be easy because all I would need to do is just grab my small speakers (which is actually pretty loud), connect the speakers to my Ipad (the speakers are also wireless so I don't need that cable to plug into both of them), then make a playlist with all the music I like. I'm sure hat these will work because it will make home work sometimes fun. But I still procrastinate and I will try to grow out of this habit!

My Visual Poem

   



Are you satisfied with your results and why, or how could you make it better?
My Visual poem is about music. I chose music because that's what I like to do. Music has more uses than just listening to it. You can get groovy and dance to the rhythm. Maybe your party is lame and you want to make people happy. So you add music. Music can brighten up your day in any type of way. People listen to music either because they're bored or they love that song. Music can cheer you up even if your happy! Not only did I choose music because it's what I love music. I chose it because it has a lot of ways to make not only people but everything happy!

My special effects affects the meaning, mood, and audience by being somewhat related to music. I tried to make the effects as close to related to music. It probably didn't look good because I'm a procrastinator. I only shot all the videos two days before the actually project. Then I tried adding in the effects on the day before it was due and I tried to make it as great as possible. The audience's mood would be okay because the special effects are cool and there is probably one or two spots that they will wonder about. People may not know but music is important to me and I want to keep it alive.

I'm satisfied with the results of how my visual poem came out. I'm happy because I actually did a pretty good job. There was a couple of places that could of been fixed. But the only reason why it was like that is because I procrastinated. I could've add more background music and nice b-roll. I should've add music because that was the whole poem was about. I worked my hardest on this project and finished it at the last second. I'm satisfied and happy how my poem came out.
