I just researched the six-word story! The legend goes that the six-word story began when famed American author Ernest Hemingway made a bet with a group of writers over lunch that he could write a full story in six words. He collected his winnings with the following: "For sale, Baby shoes, Never Worn." (http://www.openculture.com/2015/03/the-urban-legend-of-ernest-hemingways-six-word-story.html). Although the validity of this story is questionable, it has nonetheless created to the tradition of writing an entire story in six, precise words. Now, professional author, ordinary internet-users, and famed celebrities alike write six-word stories, ranging from memoirs to dark statements to inappropriate jokes. Here follows a few examples of six word stories:

We just learned about how to operate a camera, how to shoot a basic video, and how to use Final Cut Pro! First, when operating the camera I learned all the basics of setting up the camera and activating it. I also learned which buttons to use to white balance and to adjust the iris, two functions I didn't even know video cameras possessed. Additionally, I practiced shooting wide shots (feet to head/entire scene shown), medium shots (waist up or a similar-sized area), and close-up shots (head only). Then, Mr. Goble introduced us to Final Cut Pro, a video-editing software. On it, I first learned how to add generator (title screens) to the beginning and end, and how to add music to a clip. Then, my partner Collin Clark and I shot a basic six shot sequence that Mr. Goble showed us: wide shot, medium, close-up, close-up, extreme close-up, and wide. We chose to shoot me playing a video game, with Collin doing some very excellent on-the-ground cinematography to get the footage. I then learned how to edit this footage in Final Cut Pro. I first added video and audio transitions, and I then edited the audio and video to make it more presentable. Thus, in conclusion, I learned all the fundamental of shooting and editing a video sequence.
