2016 Aspirations

The 5 different goals that I will attain in 2016, are : to get better grades, surf more, skate board more often, practice volley ball more often, and start swimming again. I want to get better grades because It'll help me later on in school. I want to surf more because I love doing It and I want to do It as a profession. I want to skate board more because its easy and It helps me surf with the balance factor. I want to practice volleyball more because I also want to do It as a profession. Last.. I want to swim more often because It makes me stronger and faster in the ocean If I practice on a swim team.

Skate boarding is the most important goal to me because its just fun to do and it helps me with balance in surfing. I also want to skateboard more because Its an easy way for transportation and other stuff. Skateboarding Is my most important goal also because I want to do It as a living when I get older. And I think that Its really fun to do all the time.

The steps I will take to ensure success Is to practice more often and try doing tricks and more hills. Ill also get a board for riding and another board for doing tricks. I will mostly skate board as much as I can and try new thing to get better at It. And i will try to get pointers from other skate boarders. Then I will improve on them as much as I can.

The difference of my photo montages and David Hockney's are that his are both real life photos or sketched photos. His photos are also more abstracted unique when he puts them together.Most of his photos also don't have the borders on each photo but the ones i have do.

I think that images can send positive or negative messages because the images can bring either dark or bright memories. Or the picture can be dark colors and they could show negative messages. The photo can also have bright colors and give the feel of something positive and give a positive message. It depends on the persons visual on the image whether it brings good or bad memories. Or the image can show a positive or negative message in the picture.

The message that i intend my readers to see is that to go out and explore. I took photos of he car because it takes you out into the world. I think this because the best way to live life is to go out there and move on from where you were before. I think that life is about the journey not the destination.

Scratch Game Design

user experience influenced my game because it shows me how exact things have to be. The code only works if the computer is able to process it. If the code has a flaw it can cause a chain reaction to the whole game. It also showed me that you can create anything you can, the decision is up to you how to model it. You can do whatever your mind can think of, you can make a chase game, platformer, or collaborate to make your own game.

The features of each of my games are very different. When I did the platformer it felt more real when I was jumping it almost made it seem more 3D to me. When I made the chase game it was more 2D but it was fun to actually create a video game and it was fun to have the computer chase you.

My best code is my jumping code. This is because It was hard to figure out the right height to jump and to make it work smoothly. Even though the code isn't that long it still a long time to figure out. I over came my best bug fixes by editing them with the strategy trial and error. For example if it wasn't jumping that high i would fix it by changing it and changing it until it worked.

Invention Commercial

P2T4_Invention from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo
Our teams main goals for this assignment was to get all of our B-roll filmed on time, make sure the invention would work on film, and get our commercial turned in on time. To get the B-roll filmed in time we had to manage our time carefully. So we decided that we should meet up at Hanalei on Saturday or Sunday before the weekend. To make the invention work we had to get a revolver and see how it would work with the wax attached to it. Then we had to find a way to attach the scraper to the revolver. We were able to turn in our invention on time by staying focused on editing and making our time management accurate.

I think that the best team moment during our production when we were filming our B-roll at Hanalei. This is because we were really focused on what we were doing. It was also fun being at Hanalei to film, after we were sure that all our B-roll was filmed we had some fun. We went in the water and jumped off the pier. It was a good idea to go to the pier because we were on task. We also had a little fun to.

While we were editing we had to stay on task and on time. We all had a job while editing. One would chose the clips and music. One would cut the clips and put them in order. Then the last person would put transitions and final touches. With all of us working on certain part we were able to turn it in on time.

Composition Scavenger Hunt

I think that one of the most important composition technique is contrast in content, i think that this technique is important because this focuses on the object the best and makes the viewers focused on the object. This way it focuses on the one thing the best and i think that it is very unique. It makes the picture feel more alive.

I think that the most difficult composition technique is unusual angles. I think that this is the hardest one because you have to find a unique angle. Even if you do find a unique ange you would have to find away to place the camera to take the photo. This is an interesting and difficult angle.

My teammates were Ella, and Seline. They both concentrate well and have great ideas. We all collaborated on what to do for each angle. We chose which object or which person was best for each angle. This was a fun and new project to do with the cameras.

Cracking the Code

I think that coding is an important think to learn because it teaches you basically how apps are made, designed, and created. Coding helps work through problems with movement and modifications. Its a good class to learn and do as a job later on.

My first experience with coding was fun. It was exiting working through all the puzzles. Coding was a fun experience.Some of them were hard but the experience was fun to do. After each puzzle we could see what we had to do and what codes we used to move our player.

If I could create a game I would create a game that would create different moves and create mazes that other people can play. It would also be able to create your own characters to play in the game.
