Scratch Game Design




Hey i'm back again and in user experience i know that you want your game to be fun and not boring.  The game should be fun and colorful or creative to make the players to play the game.  You should want the game to be challenging so they keep playing it to win or complete the level.  For example, the game should have lots of colors and fun entertaining add some effects maybe.

In my games one is a platformer and the other is a chase game in the platformer its a jumping game where you can jump.  The chase game is people chasing you and you earn points for evading the other sprites and not getting caught.

Hello there its me again,  We made our invention commercial and our main goal is to get a good grade and have fun.  We also wanted it to be funny and make it look like a real commercial.  Our team made the deadlines.  The commercial was ok coming from my view.  We meet most of the standards.  This project was important on our grade.

There were a lot of team moments where we were having fun.  The best team moment was when I didn't have the same shirt on so i had to wear Ashley jacket and it was big and fluffy and grey and holister.  But then we had to take it off because it was to weird.

Composition Scavenger Hunt


P3T4_Composition_2015 from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.


Hello its me again and I will be talking about which composition technique i think is most important.  I think that point of view is most important.  I think its important because it shows the audience what the subject see's and it will show them whats happening and whats going on.  Point of view is a good shot because it is of what the person, animal or thing see's.  Its also makes them feel like they are the subject and in the action.

I think that unusual angles is the hardest because you have to get the camera in a spot that's weird.  Thats hard because it will have to go almost under you or high above you or even to the side slanted. I can use unusual angle more in shots by being more creative.  It is a challenge for me because I am
not that creative.  I will use unusual angles more in my videos or shots.

My teammates Jhoanna, Ashley and Denae. Jhoanna has black hair and she is like a centimeter taller than me. She has a 9 year old brother thats her only sibling. Jhoanna put in the text layovers and she filmed a little bit.  Ashley has blonde hair and brown eyes.  She likes to do gymnastics and she has a dog and 2 cats.  Ashley filmed and did most of the editing.  Denae brown eyes brown hair with blondish at the bottom.  I call Denae "Da nae nae." Denae  did some of the editing and added he music.

Cracking the Code


Hello we are starting a new project we are coding in GT. Everyone should learn coding because if you don't know what code is you pretty much don't know how to use a computer. If you don't know how to code then when you want to create a website you don't know what to do also if you want to create a game. Coding is like the middle section of how to use a computer.


My first experience working with code was on Christmas I had a program that would teach me how to mod and code a game.  At first it was kinda hard but it becomes easier than before.  I have coded 2 times before and it was easier each time coding is fun.  The first time i coded i didn't know what to do but then i looked up how to and i learned from that.  When i started coding i thought wow this is hard i was about to give up but it got way easier.


If  could create any game, program or app It would be a building fiction game where there are lasers that destroy building's.  You would play by moving the character around in a sandbox.  You could build anything you can think of.  It would probably be a pc game because it is really big but it could made as an app.  You could do or build anything you can think of.

My Humorous Monologue


My current GT class are making a humorous video and I have learned a couple of things while making our humorous video.  I have learned from this project that you need to make it funny or else its not humorous. I also learned what b-roll is and a-roll and how important it is in a video. I learned that you need clear lighting and good audio or else you cant see or hear b-roll/a-roll.  I have also learned how to edit and create clips in Imovie.  I also learned how to correctly hold and use a camera what the different buttons do.

Pad is the extra time between the beginning and end of the video. Padding is important because if you dont have pad it will cut out your audio.  If you dont have pad and your audio or b-roll is cut out it will not play the video.  Padding is saying 3, 2, 1, Rolling then the speaker will start speaking.  You will have more time if you add pad to make sure that it doesn't cut out the video.

My weakness was adding transitions and effects it was hard because I forgot how to make them.  It was easy for me to import the b-roll and my a-roll. I could improve by adding transitions, effects, music and sound effects.  I could make my monologue better by having better lighting and more video footage and clearer audio. In the future I will follow the rubric to make my monologue into the exemplary section.

Comedy Writing


 Sense of humor in characters is very important because if they weren't funny everyone would be bored and most likely be asleep. The characters need some sense of humor or else they cant be funny. So then the audience will probably give it a bad rate. If you don't have a little bit of comedy it will be boring and not funny.  If you don't make it funny it cant make people laugh and have fun watching

Five tips for making a humorous narrative are always ask a friend to read it and ask if its funny. Never make a racial joke unless it with family or friends. If you cant think of any jokes maybe write sarcasm or you can look up jokes and take the structure but change it around.  Try to make your own joke and not take one off the internet or from your friend.

I made my comedic monologue by using sarcasm and doing the opposite of what people ask me and my chores.  I think its funny because it uses sarcasm and that I end up not doing it because I forgot.
My comedic monologue is me for example being clumsy and falling or not doing something. It is funny because I am having so much fun cleaning and doing stuff.

Motivational Poster



We are currently making a Motivational poster and you need to have a manifesto and a list of personal quotes. You need pictures that describes you and a portrait. Then you need to design it with editing the space and how big your words are going to be. The color scheme will have 1 main color that goes with the other 2 colors. It needs to be able to see all the pictures and have them placed neatly. It also needs is to have colors to make it stand out and be able to read it.


First I went into photoshop and created a new paper then i put a list of personal quotes. Then I did research on motivation and made some of my own motivational sentences. Then i kerned my words to make them fit a perfect box. I added my 3 symbolic pictures and 1 portrait i put them in place and i added my text. To make my text stand out i gave it some text layers to make it colorful and stand out from the pictures. I finally put them all together and made my motivational poster. 


My biggest challenge was making the text layers and adding the pictures. I can improve by adding color to my text and making it stand out of the pictures. I can also improve by my coloring my pictures and adding curves to make it look better. I could also make the text into a perfect box so it would have a better shape. It could be better if I put the pictures into a better shape and having each bigger than the other.
