Tiny Spherical Worlds

Polar 1 

Polar 2

Hey guys I'm back and this is week's blog is about our new "Polar and Spherical" project. The point of a composite is it make the picture more interesting. One photo isn't enough when doing this project because it doesn't make the picture come alive. It also give more interest to the viewer when there looking and your polar and spherical panos.

The difference between Polar and Spherical panos are Spherical has less steps than Polar and Spherical makes you look like your super tall in a long angle of yourself and Polar makes you look again super tall but from a high angle photo. When your looking at a Spherical pano it makes you look like your in a snow globe. And when your looking at a Polar pano it looks like a tiny world  blurring of into space.

Spherical 2

My finished Polar Spherical world are convincing to me because it takes so long to make and you can see these everyday at the store for sale, and sometimes when you make something your proud of it in the end. It looks unique and like your floating away to space when looking yo the Polar pano, and it the spherical pano it looks like your king of the world. Another thing to make your finished final Polar and Spherical panos look realistic and convincing is to have the horizon line in the middle of the photo and to take the pictures vertically.

Hockney Style Joiners

Final Photomontage

Hey guys I'm back we are in a current project called a Photomontage.A photomontage is where Several different photos are taken or arranged to create a new picture or abstract art. Click on MEAH's Blog to see the photomontage she made of me. This week blog is about how David Hockney's photomontages are different from our photomontages. David Hockney's photomontages are different from our because David Hockney is more skilled at doing photomontages because he has done hundreds of photomontages and we have only done at least two or three.

School Photomontage 

Photos can give positive and negative messages. One way of a negative message or photo is showing people all your expensive clothes on a photo to show people who sees these photos to view you as popular, rich, or even better than everyone. A positive photo can be like nature, the scenery. Just always think "How does this photo make other people feel about me is it good or bad?" When posting to social media like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, or Google plus.

I want and will give the people that are seeing my Photos whether its classmates, teachers, or just other people off the Internet to be a positive by showing what is important to me if its my family, my dog, scenery, or just everyday things. I don't want people to see negative photos from me, that why you should always "THINK BEFORE YOU POST!" It's a good idea to do that. Remember "How do you want people to view your posts?"

2016 Aspirations

Hey guys I'm back, Can you believe its already 2016, 2015 went by fast. 5 different goal for 2015 would be... Getting strait A's in school and excelling in school. Another goal would be having GREAT friends this year and not having friends who talk behind your back. Being more organized. I would like to be a Better problem solver too. Also I  want to become a better looker because I know I don't find stuff that easy that is right in in front of my face.. These goal I hope to accomplish this 2016 year.

  My one goal I really want to accomplish this year is getting straight A's this year. Its good to get good grades in school because it could affect you when you plan to get a job, or if you are planning to go to college. You may really want this job and then the boss pulls out your records from school and then gives your job to someone else. Wouldn't that be terrible! That's why I want straight A's in school so that this tragic moment I just made up wont happen to me. Not saying that that's going to happen to you but there could be a chance. So yeah...

 
  Some steps I would take would be always do and finish my homework on time , pay attention in class, If I am absent I will be sure to make up my missing work, ask when I don't understand something, and if I make a mistake try my best to not make the same mistake again. If I do all of this I should reach my goal of getting straight A's.

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

P3T2_Composition_2015 from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

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.
