Intwerwar period

During the Interwar period various countries in the world including: Germany, France, Japan, China and the United States suffered severe changes in both their economy and political matters. This interwar period lasted from 1918 to 1939 and occurred between World War I and World War II. In this period most of the countries changed their government by creating revolutions and taking out the old government. During the year 1868 Japan took the Tokugawa Rule and replaced for the old Meji regime. This also happened with China when they took out the Quing Dynasty to replace it with another democracy which later turned into a dictatorship. Another important circumstance that related all of these counties specially the United States was the Great Depression during 1922. This Economic failure affected countries worldwide. When this occurred the country of Germany got seriously affected by it because they were vulnerable due to the World War I that had already weakened them in a strong way.

During the years of the Interwar various strikes were performed by workers against their bosses and the government. This was going on in various places because people were desperate for money but didn't want to loose their jobs. An example of a place that did this was the United States. Before the Great Depression workers were making strikes for better payment but stopped because during the time of economic drop citizens could hardly get a job or maintain the one they already had. The United Kingdom is another country that did strikes done by desperate workers that wanted less hours of work and more payment but it was unsuccessful. During this time I believe that a person that would make a better job in controlling the situation would be Hitler. In this moment people were becoming insane and desperate for a better economy and I think that Hitler would do a great job in persuading the people to be calm and make them realize that it would change in a positive way in the future and right now instead of panicking they should get their head up and try to reconstruct their lives.

So the Interwar period was a time were various nations were in tough times that had to be overcome in order not to fall into ruin. Each country had different problems that came back to the issues from world war I. They all solved these problems in their own way by changing their government,ruler, or their own attitude towards the situation, anything that would contribute to the reconstruction of the economy. Although the Interwar Period was harsh for almost all the countries in the world, it was only preparation for the World War II which was a real problem that was not imagined until seen.

Japan/China interwar period on Prezi

Prezi

Last week all the class was introduced to Prezi. An internet device similar to power point that combines the creativity of adding videos and pictures and the creation of paths that lead you to the order of the presentation. I really prefer this from the old boring powerpoint. It was too simple, now with Prezi you can expand your ideas into more complex images. It has far more privileges than powerpoint and its free. Another thing I really like is that it is simple and you only need 2 minutes to understand everything with the video tutorial. What I did find a little confusing is how to use some tools that were in the side of the page. Besides this everything else was great and successful for me.

If I could choose between powerpoint, word or any program for writing I know I would choose Prezi. Its the new thing, it has more features like pictures, videos and different shapes that can be led to your choice. Another great thing about this page that I liked was that its everywhere. If you have internet to hand you can open it in any place you like to show it to different people. You can even open it from your cellphone. Google docs is also a great choice for these types of works but Prezi is now my favorite website for easy a working.

safe sex PSA

PSA video reflection

The PSA I was assigned to do was safe sex. I believe that it turned out pretty well. Mahonty and I did it last Friday with help of Ximena and Courtney. The videos were shot behind the house of my classmate Mahonry and in his room. It took us to shot everything in about an hour. For the editing, I finished after 30 minutes. At the end Mahonry and I were satisfied with our work and even other people in the class that were watching it think the same. For the project we did 2 videos, about 2:45 min and another one that was sent for marking of 1:30 min plus 4 secs of credits. Even though it was good i still think that the longer version we did was much better.

When watching my video I always look for things that I can change and for this one I specifically found many. First, I would reduce the movement of the camera when following the car. another thing I would do is repeat the scene when Mahonry talks. Anohter possibilty would be adding subtitles for more clearness. The last thing I would change is the number of actors. I personally think that we needed more actors to form a better "party". Besides adding more scenes the rest of the video came out perfect.

At the start of the class I saw all my classmates videos so I could choose the winner. The video I chose for winning was Debora and Jade`s. Their topic was ¨ does drinking affect the ones around you?¨ The video itself is about a girl that parties and drinks and does not care about her grades or the other outcomes that could affect their family and friends. Something I think they could change was the moving of the camera. The shots are to shaky and sometimes unfocused But I also think that it was somehow in purpose to represent the crazy party. Besides that the rest of the video was well made with: Great story, good scenery and awesome editing. I really would like to congratulate them.
