Chase Code

Freedom Game

Hey Guys Im back and this weeks blog is about our "Scratch Game Design" how we made it and who we thought about when we were making this Scratch Chase game. When I was creating my game I thought each character or sprite should be 3 of my friends because each sprite is really wacky or crazy. That's why instead of the shark sprite saying "Im going to get you" it adds  more detail like "Im going to get you little fishy" One of my friends is the Shark, tough and likes to chase people. The fish is my second friend she is shy, but is very confident and will beat you in a game. The third sprite is a wacky crazy starfish that doesn't know what's going on and wants to get somewhere else.
                                                                     

Platformer Code

The feature of my game is for my sprite to get my two other sprites the evil yellow blocks.You have 1 minute to get both of the blocks. I need to debug my game a little more because when your suppose to jump it glitches and goes somewhere else so I need to do that if I did that my game would be good and I need to make my game a little more smooth too. If I do that my game should be good.

My best code would be when im trying to make my sprites say something corny or funny. My most difficult problem was when I had to make my sprite jump. I had helpful tips from the focus wall on the videos of ''Simple Jumping and Gravity Engine''. I also thought that Google helped me a lot because if I was faced with a problem I would look up a way to solve the problem.

                                                              

Invention Commerical

Hey guys this weeks blog is about our Invention Commercial. We just finished an assignment that he assigned us. Our assignment was to create a commercial that solves a common problem. Our teams main goals for this assignment,, we asked, "Are we going to finish on time? Is it under the time limit? And are we going to get a good grade like an A ?". Its important to get a good grade because it can affect your future. It could go on your college application, your future jobs, and other important things in your future life.

Our teams best moment in our commercial was when Kaile couldn't grab the spatula and Meah fell on the floor behind her laughing really hard, it was funny, I even laughed when we stopped the video. We had other adventures throughout the filming, like the trampoline. Ohh and trying to make a PERFECT pancake! We have other adventures throughout the filming like I said before.

So when it came down to editing our commercial, we put all of us in charge but when one of us were absent we would put someone who was going to be here like Meah. We knew that she would be here mostly everyday when Kaile and I couldn't be here. We all wanted to help in editing our commercial but sometimes each one of us got busy so when one person couldn't be there we would put whoever was there in charge.

Composition Scavenger Hunt

Hey guys this weeks blog is about the scavenger hunt we just did with composition techniques. I would think that Contrast in Content would be the most important because it draws the viewers eyes to what is standing out. What most people used in our class was a flower in the grass. because the grass is green and the flower is usually different colors like yellow, red, pink, and so on. That's what I think but there are so may to chose from. That's what I think what do you think?

The hardest composition technique for me was flat angle. Flat angle you need to have a tripod to make your image flat enough because most of us and our classmates were shaking the camera. You always hold the camera as flat as you can. Maybe to improve on flat angle all of us can try not to be in a earthquake.  Even if you are in an earthquake still try to hold the camera as still as you can. That should help us to improve on our composition technique.

My teammates in our composition technique video was Kalie, Meah , And me Danielle. As you watch in the video you will see that we all did different things. The first shot was of Kaile she did birds eye view, ground level, and force foreground. Meah did Ants eye, High angle, Macro, And eye level. And I did low angle. Both Kaile and I did flat angle. Meah and Kaile did point of view. We all filmed different parts of our video. We all got to film at least 5 times. Kaile edited the whole video in IMovie because both Meah and I were absent from school the day we were going to edit our video. So Kaile did most of the work when Meah and I were Absent.

Cracking the code

I think everyone should learn code because if your ever in a situation and the only way to get out is to read code. Not like that is ever going to happen but I still think it is a good idea because its different and is like learning a different language and you know how everyone says learning a different language is good for your brain well that's kind of what code is. A different language. So I would love to learn code I think its a good idea. And maybe in the future we will need to get out of that secret room and the only way to get out is code but I don't know, but maybe.

At first I would agree that working with code was a challenge. But once you read the objective a few time and do different levels on each lesson you get the hang of working with code. Code is difficult at first but you cant give up. Its like a mini test, tests are challenging but if you study, work hard, and  try your best your sure to be able to do anything. Each lesson it gets a little harder just like going into each school quarter. So keep trying and you should get the hang of working with code.

So if I could create any game with code I would learn how to make my own game on the lesson 3 of our code work. At the end of the lesson it gives you the chance to create your own level im not sure what I would create but in the end it would be really well in the end. You definitely want to think at the time your making your own game because you cant just put to things together and call it a game. You want to put your whole heart into this just like a test. So make sure you do this when you make or design your game.

Comedy Writting

A sense of humor is important because when your sad laughing most always cheers you up, and who likes to be sad all the time? Definitely not me! Being happy is my thing! It gives you an opportunity to make friends and make other people laugh. When your sad or lonely and no one is around, tell yourself a joke to cheer you up. When someone else is lonely or sad if feels good to cheer them up by a joke. Or maybe someone is having a bad day try to make there day happy by telling them a joke it does feel good to make someone happy! Try it! You will see the difference it will make on your day too.

 

5 tips to make people laugh are ... Well what works for me is being sarcastic like if they ask where do I get water from the sink or refrigerator try saying sink when other people say the fridge. It works it will make them laugh try it, It worked for me the other night. Another thing is if you want to make someone laugh is to tell them a joke when their in a good mood they might laugh in their in a bad mood but that's a 50% chance of it, so try it when people are in a good mood and you will get a storm of laughter. Brainstorming is a good way to find jokes to make people laugh, look on the Internet or maybe you can make up a joke or tell one that has already been told. Another thing is when you tell the joke make sure you laugh too, because when you laugh it makes more the difference. When you don't laugh it's not a chance of laughter. When you laugh it makes the other person laugh to. Don't interrupt when the person you going to tell the joke to is having a conversation with another person they may get irritated or upset at you. Maybe if you want you don have to do this but you could ask them before "Can I tell you a funny joke"?

My comedic monologue is when a girl and her friends go on an adventure. Mostly the whole time in the video its of them laughing or doing really crazy things that look ridiculous . So I hope everyone laughs when they see mine. My setting takes place at Hopi Fall which is a Waterfall on the island of Kauai. Lots of people go there to jump of or just have fun with their friends, thats why I chose this setting, Because it's of a girl and her friends having fun and being crazy. In each clip they are doing something funny like running around or failing trying to walks down the hill. Each clip your sure to laugh or at least smile.

Montovantioal Poster

To make a motivational  poster you want to have 2 text layers one with your personal quotes and another one with your manifesto. You also have to have 4 images 3 of what symbolize you and one portrait of yourself. Kerning is a good start for your motivational poster kerning makes your main word stand out. A triadic color scheme makes 1 dominate color balanced with 2 accent colors for a color wheel. Visual balance and blending options is an expectation in your poster. A blending option make your quotes and manifesto pop out in front of your pictures. Visual balance makes your poster even better by making an equal amount of a visual weight for an for your poster.

Once you have everything copy and paste your quotes and manifesto is an app called Photoshop, Do you want those main words to stand out then start with kerning. Kerning gives you the ability to make those main words stand out by making them taller and wider. A triadic color scheme makes 1 dominate color balanced with 2 accent colors for a color wheel. Your also going to want to put visual balance and blending options in your poster .A blending option make your quotes and manifesto pop out in front of your pictures. Visual balance makes your poster even better by making an equal amount of a visual weight for an artistic appeal. Then make sure you put your text layers.

A challenge that I faced that was the hardest for me was kerning. Kerning takes up most of your time trying to size all your main words correctly. When you kern you main words in your quotes and your manifesto may take a while. Most times I had to come in on my free time to finish kerning. One way to improve on your kerning is to come in during your free time, No late dates! Try your best to have your whole poster done by the time you have to turn in your poster. If I had to do this poster again I would come in on my free time again to finish kerning my main words.
