Today's LA project presentation

Okay. Hello, everybody! Whew! Luckily for me, it's already evening, since it was a little embarrassing presenting our LA project in front of my LA classmates and teacher. Probably you noticed it, that I said our, since my partner for this project is a little guy who is my best friend in school named Andy. Today, groups in my LA class, including mine, presented our LA projects in front of the class. Me and Andy, presented a video game manual for an imaginary game that have have parts that is also in the book "When my Name was Keoko". In fact, every group in my LA class have to present either a video game manual, a soundtrack, a movie trailer, or a children's book that is based on or have parts that are shared by the book. There are still some classmates of mine in the class who still needs to show their projects.

It's kinda funny watching some people with their projects or students' projects from the LA class before mine. For example, Harry, a classmate of mine in LA class, dropped his video game manual while he was holding it and presenting. Another example is a movie trailer made by 4 boys. Seriously, it's devastatingly funny! Well, part of it is funny and part of it is emotional and dramatic. Those boys would get the trophy for "the funniest LA project I had ever seen". While the "most emotional, dramatic, and awesome LA project I'd seen" trophy goes to a girl in my LA class, called by most people as Jenny. She made a movie trailer for the imaginary "When my Name was Keoko" movie.

Yes, you noticed it, that one girl got that trophy. In the trailer, she didn't act, nor did her friends or anybody else in this school acted. Instead, she used the computer, or if not always, then mostly. She used footages caught in WWII or some other wars and animation. Not that you have to use animation and video clips. The animation, which is partly funny, the video clips, and the background music combined together made the trailer fantastic, and somewhat funny too. It was partly funny since the ending said "Connection lost" while animated "Japanese" soldiers were marching across the screen. They were holding their guns the wrong way. If they try to fire their guns normally, then the gun is upside down. It have some aspects of a real movie trailer. It's so dramatic and seemingly intended-only-for-action-movies, combining with the music, that in one point, I got goosebumps. Not that I'm scared. I just have them.

A group, comprising of a boy named Andrew and a girl named Sarah, made a soundtrack for the imaginary movie "When my Name was Keoko". As a class, we didn't actually get to listen to any soundtrack made by the students for their LA project. But Andrew's and Sarah's soundtrack are pretty detailed, since if you're gonna "buy" the CD, the CD also included an explanation book what songs they chose and why. The songs that they chose fitted with the storyline of the book, and if there is a movie, the movie's storyline. So, good job for Andrew and Sarah.

Josh, David, and Rich made a video game manual together containing 8 levels, not including the bonus ones. I didn't get to read all of their manual. But I can say that they linked the pages together as in pages in a notebook. I wonder where did they go to link the pages together like that. I'm saying this as a complement, not as an insult, ok? Josh, David, and Rich?

Well, that's all I wanna tell for today's LA project presentation.
