2016 ASPIRATIONS

During 2016 as a six grader, I have five goals which are, to be vegan for a whole week. My second goal is to come to school at 7:30 every day. My third goal is to get straight As for the rest of the year. My forth goal is to become really good at surfing. Finally my last goal is to make new friends every where I may go. 


My most important goal is to be a vegan for a week because I really want to become a whole year round vegan one day, and I think it will git me of to a good start if I do it for a whole week. Also there are many health benefits from being a vegan.Including, you get in better shape and you will increase your chance of living longer longer and you will also would be in a better mood at feel great because your not eating innocent animals.

To ensure success I will make a conscious effort to achieve these goals by. Having one vegan meal every day so it can be easier for me when I am brave enough to be a vegan for a whole week straight.Also, I can be nice everyone that I meet so that I can make new friends wherever I may go, and I can surf everyday after school so I can get a little bit better every single day. Those are the things I am going to do to re-achieve success. 

Scratch Game Design

My user experience influenced my game because I had to make my game so that it is actually fun to play rather than just getting it done with. Another reason why the user experience influenced my game is because I had to make my characters move smoothly, and make my game creative and entertaining.

My game platform game and my chase game can be similar and alike and different. My chase game and plat former game can be different because, first of all my chase game is all about the ghost chasing the the girl.But, my chase games can be alike because they both still have a couple of bugs.

In my plat former game my best code that I did was the simple jumping code. But, my biggest bug were trying to get my sprite to get to the red box because I did not collect the right code so my sprite just kept on going crazy. My second biggest bug was getting my timer to count down because it is one of the requirements.

Invention Commerciial

In this project my teams main goal was to finish on time and have a funny,creative and entertaining project that had all the expectations. But, at the end our invention came out great and our video was funny,creative, and entertaining.Also we worked together and had a really fun time recording and creating our product at the beach. 

I think in this project our best team moment was when we all met at Hanalei Bay and we had our invention made and done because we didn't think we were going to finish making our product in time for our filming. But, our second best team moment is when we were filming our script and visuals. Finally our last team moment was when we swam in the ocean after filming our visuals.

When we were editing Ella was the person that put the music and effects in the video, after we all agreed on the music and effects. I was the person who cut our clips/ shots that were to long and then we all listened to the clips until we knew they were cut almost perfect. Lastly Malia was the person that go to look over all our changes and fix them if they needed to be fixed.

Composition Scavenger Hunt

I think the most important composition technique is Leading lines because not a lot of people understood if some the examples/images were. I think that leading lines can be a very important technique if everyone can understand what images are leading Lines and what are not Leading lines. Also because in the composition videos not a lot of people did a correct example of Leading Lines. That is why I think Leading Lines is the most important composition technique.

I also think that Leading lines is the most difficult composition technique because not everyone in my whole class had an example of leading lines correct because it is difficult to capture a shot that has lines leading to the subject. But I can use this composition technique more if I try to take one Leading Line photo when taking as photo of something every day. So, that is why I think that Leading Lines is the most difficult composition technique.

My team was Ella, Malia, and me/ Seline.We each took turns on filming and saying what the composition technique means. Then, after we were done filming we all decided what to cut and edit.Finally we all decided on what music we were going to add.But at the end we all had a lot a fun and worked as a team.

Cracking the Code

I think everybody should know a little bit of coding in their life so if somebody was talking about it or doing it they would understand what the person is talking about or doing. Everybody doesn't have to know a lot about code but just enough that they understand it. I think coding should be taught a little bit to every single person in the whole world. I think  that coding should be a class in school so everyone can learn it!!!

The first time I have worked with code was in sixth grade recently. It was a really good experience and I figured out how to how to code and understand the meaning of code. I also played a game that helped me learn and understand.Code is a really interesting thing to work on and I really like it and I know I would never have learned how to code if I never joined my GT class. I am willing to learn more about code.

 If I was going to create a game that never ends and there is something fun and new in every level. The point of the game is to try to get to the top of a really tall mountain or someplace far away before getting eaten or killed by all the mystery creatures that are faced in front of you. But don't worry because there are only a few in each level but when you start to get really far in the game the animals that eat you and kill you start to gain power. That is my game and I hope you are interested!!!

My Humorous Monologue

During this project I have learned how to make folders, and how to transfer my films to I-movie. I also learned how my teacher is going to grade our work in my gifted and talented classroom,and this project also taught my how to make a funny GIF. At the end of the project I learned how to edit our b-roll /a-roll in I-movie, we also learned how to use the cameras for the very first time, and that it makes life easier if you turn things in or finish on the due date so you don't get in trouble or have a ton of homework.

Padding is when you start to say 'Rolling and action'', and it is crucial because if you don't say anything before and you start recording, then you wont get all the footage you wanted recorded. So if you are talking about something really important at the beginning of your video, then you probably want to have padding at the beginning so you don't have to record it all over again because it might not be as good as your first attempt.

My weaknesses were trying to think of something to write about at the last minute,but then I thought about my sister and how funny she is. Another weakness I had was video tapping my sister because she just didn't want to act for me even though that is all she wants to do most of the time.I could improve by not having such shaky shots and by finishing the last bit of my monologue on time so it wasn't black for the last three seconds. I also think I could of spoke louder and clearly.

Comedy Writing

Sense of humor is important because if you are not humorous then you are going to be very boring, or just very plain. Another reason why sense of humor is important is because no one will want to listen to your story or writing because you want the people that are listening to be laughing and in a happy mood.
                                                  
My five tips about comedy are: Make it a goal to connect with and make the audience laugh. Have a good of sense of humor. Make your jokes appropriate for your audience so that they can relate and find the humor in them. Never poke fun at someone if you know they are going to get offended. Always be yourself and those that can relate will be drawn to you.

My comedic joke is really funny because my sister is hilarious when she gets dirty for a long time. I thought my sister was a good topic because at that moment when I had to think of something really fast I thought of my funny little sister. My joke is also funny because I share some funny things about my hard working little sister. My sister is also funny when she is dirty is because she is funny when she thinks not one person is paying attention but me and my dad happen to look at her once or twice.
