MV BLOG #3

 Howdy everyone and welcome back. It has been a very cold week here in South Florida. On the bright news  I finally finished my filming and editing. It went really well. The crisp air as very good for the enjoyment of the video. I will tell you this was so  hard to put together because of the restraints but I enjoyed it. I love salsa music but most importantly I love Celia Cruz. She is my favorite Salsa Singer of all time. I again, edited on  Imovie and used different techniques. First, I used a recorded sound and put it in the background of the video. I also added the Cuban flag to the background and added the title slide. It was loads of fun to edit again. I was really fascinated by the font that I used as it gave a very retro vibe. I really liked the 90's look as it the song was created in the 90s. Overall I can not wait for you all to see the final product. Until the next blog. I almost forgot i had a very successful trial this week and I was so happy to see my client get of the hook. Law is reason free from passion. That is my favorite quote from legally blonde.

  Some things to think about as you reflect: How did you choose the saying? How did you choose the format of the message? What did you learn? What could you do differently? Wow, it seems as if yesterday I started this project and now it has come to a close. I choose my song "La Vida es un Carnaval" because I thought the message was on time and I enjoy the music of Celia Cruz. Furthermore,  as I shared before, I felt it was an opportunity to give the world my culture. It is not very often that Afro- Latinos make the frontpage if it is not for baseball. Actually, most times me saying I am Cuban to most people seems like an anomaly. This music video for me served as a gentle reminder that it i not an anomaly. Outside of the personal message I wanted to send the next portion is the actual message of the song. La vida es un carnaval translates to life is a party.  The song talks about life's ups and downs but through it all life is really what you make it. I framed the...

Starting the Final Task

 Hola! My name is Raymond Adderly and I am in 11th grade. I have decided to work alone. I have decided to work alone because the content of my film will come from a deep place of study. I want to highlight Afro-Latino achievement which might not be of interest to many people. This is because a lot of latinos within the white community can care less about afro latinos. Thus, this is why I am taking it upon myself to film a opening for this topic. I have said many times that it is not a monolith to be Afro- Latino and my film will do that in its opening. Also, since it is just me I believe my blogs will be pretty unique to this topic. Each blog will be meticulous in addressing not only the issues in the afro latino community but how I encounter them everyday. My blogs will also potentially  grow in length as I begin to address and talk about other issues outside of the instructional material. The  ultimate plan is to create this blog into a ranting platform. This is also go...

 Que Vola Aseres!! Today I am going to be talking to you all about the best invention in the world Cafe Bustelo!! Now from my last blog, I hope you remembered that I am Cuban and Bahamian. In every Latin household with emphasis on Cuban households. Cafe Bustelo is a stable in the morning with the average family having three shots of cafecito a day. It's basically a shot of coffee that is just black with sugar and without milk. It is a very strong espresso but it is also pretty versatile as you can make cafe con Leche, cafe Oscuro, and Italian coffee. I am having my second cafecito as we speak and it is muy rico.  You can typically purchase it from most retail stores for under $5 and the average sale price is $2.88. Cafe Bustelo was founded in East Harlem, New York in 1928.  Gregorio Bustelo was the founder of this product and went to several Latin cities including Havana, Cuba.  Online you can usually find this brand for less than $.40 per ounce, meaning you can typi...
