Oh my goodness! I can hardly believe it! It's Third Quarter!It's a new beginning!And it's time for a new project! But this isn't just any project... this isn't another News Story (like what we did in First and Second Quarter), and this isn't another project were we will have our partner to rely on. This Third Quarter Project will test our responsibility, and it will serve as a chance to show what we can do. This quarter we'll be required to create a PSA, and I've set three goals to make sure that my PSA will be the best that it can be.

My first goal to make my PSA the best it can be is to NOT PROCRASTINATE!!!!!! I really cannot stress enough how important it is to NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO THINGS! If you do that, I'm almost 100% certain that you won't be completely pleased with your project because it will turn out sloppy, and nobody wants that. The last two quarters (and especially First Quarter) I have really learned not to put things off until the last minute. Another thing I have learned is that if you have extra time to do something that doesn't need to be done at that time, still do it. It helps you get a head start on things, which can be really helpful, because in Media, time flies by!! In conclusion, this quarter, one of my goals to make my PSA the best it can be is to not procrastinate and to get things done!

Another goal I have set to make sure my PSA is the best it can be is when filming, make sure to have good quality. What I mean by this is to take good shots and have good sound. I mean, the quality of the shots and sound can make a HUGE effect in the impression people get from your video. Sure, you can have a really good idea and message to your video, but it still needs to have good quality, or else it's just not that enjoyable to watch. When filming, I want to make sure to not have any continuity or camera movement, and make sure to have good coloring. As far as the sound, well, I just pretty much want the sound to be clear and understandable, and not have the wind or any background noise be in it. By having great sound and shots, I know it will make my PSA just that much better!

My final goal to make my PSA the best that it can be is to change it from good to great. Now you've probably heard me talk about this concept before, but basically, it just means to go the extra mile to make your video polished and professional, and go from good quality to excellent quality that will really stand out and make a difference among lots of other videos! This quarter, it's going to be especially important to do this, because anyone can make a good PSA, but it's the people who take the time to change their video from good to great who get nominated for Olelo or Teen Video Awards, and that's what I'm shooting for. In conclusion, my last goal to make my PSA the best it can be is to change it from good to great.

So, if you can't tell, I'm just a little scared about Third Quarter because it's something new and I will have no partner to help me. However, despite my nervousness, I'm also excited and I'm confident that with these three goals, Third Quarter will go smoothly and my PSA will turn out really good. Wish me luck!
