Should Mp3 music be free?

I think that Mp3 music should be free because who would want to buy music for $10 - $20. Music artists already make money from there concerts so why don't they make mp3 music free. By the way some people can't afford to buy music for some of the prices. So why should Mp3 music be free? I reckon that more people will listen to music if they made it free to.

Even though it would be nice for music to be free it wouldn't be fair for the music artists who created the music and if it was free how would the music artists put food on their table to eat.

Plus millions of dollars go into making music albums so they would need more money to make music and food.

About 15 years ago a app come out called Limewire. It only runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other operating systems like java software platform. It allows you to go onto other people's music devices from your own device and download there music. The cons of the app is that it gives your device loads of viruses and it could ruin computer/device forever. The app was banned in 2010 and started in 2000.

My mihi

WALT: Present our mihi and pepeha confidently

A time with whanau

Peeeew!!! peeew!!! peeew!! the fireworks flew high into the pitch black night sky. The fireworks sounded like missiles were being shot all over the sky. It lit up the sky with blue, red, yellow and other colors. It looked as if paint was being splashed. Roger stood there amazed at the sight with his uncle, nan, mum and little brother.

“Let’s light some on the road” said his uncle Tyrone

Roger grabbed the lighter and some little guy fawkes. He set off the little circlular ones and put them on the road. He seen them starting to spin like balls of fire. They dashed all over the road.

“Wow!!! those ones are cool” said Zack as he sat down on the grass in amazement.

I saw our neighbours lighting their ones up too. Boof!! Boof!!! Boof!!! they sounded like gunshots.

“Let’s get the sparklers” said Mum.

She lit ours up and gave us one each. Roger was trying to pretend that he had a wand. He was acting like I was doing spells on Zack. Later on We grabbed the roman candles out of the box of fireworks. Zack held one and my uncle set it off. It glided into the sky and exploded into a fiery explosion. His Uncle Tyrone grabbed another roman candle and set it off. Again it made a huge outburst as it blasted through the sky.

As the night went on we had run low on guy fawkes. That night was a really fun night with my whanau and we got to spend so much fun with them. We had fun seeing guy fawkes all over the sky and ground. That’s a night we will never forget.

Animation advert

                                    Here is a photo of mine and journey's planning worksheet.
On our planning sheet we had five scenes. The start, middle and end. These are the scenes we are going to put in our animation.

Scene 1: The dog named Chopper goes to the bone that the pet owner throws out to him.
Scene 2: The other dog comes over and gets jealous so he bits the other dog.
Scene 3: Chopper bites the grey dog and gets his bone back.
Scene 4: The owner of the dogs come and brings out a packet of tux and shows it to the dogs. The dogs are both happy.

Creating the advert.

WALT: create a 30 second advert.

SC

Create a 300 photo shot  advert.

I or 2 close-up shots on your character - portrait or close-up on facial shot

Audience must know what you are advertising. Image and slogan must be provided.

Movements of character or characters must be fluid, slower, more body movements shown.

Add Title at the beginning and credits at the end. Don’t forget the music that reflects your mood for your advert.

My Reflection:

The things I think worked well was how the dogs were standing and how they didn't fall over. I also think that the barking in the video went in sync with the dogs. Capturing the scene went good because we didn't get our hands in the video, so our teamwork worked out good.  What I am proud of is that we were able to get the video animation to 30 seconds plus which doesn't include the introduction and credits.  What I think I should do better is make the shots more closer together so its not jumpy and try to get more light above the scene so it's there's no shadows. So all in all we did a good job and we were able to advertise the dog food Tux.
