Music Video Finale


P2T8 Johnny B Goode from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

So today I'll tell you about our final project a music video. Also as you may recall we did this last year to just so you know. So here's the story line and how it relates to the song. We see Johnny (Calum) in the city with a hint that he was a country boy we see that  people in the city don't like his song. We see to bullies (Me And Micah) Walking towards him we take his guitar. He goes home and starts ripping ages out of his song book then he remembers what his mom said and starts writing a new song. So that's are story. (Also Linden is the camera man.)

Now I'll describe my favorite fast-editing montage sequence. Is the one where we see Johnny waking up. So then he goes to the bathroom the walks to get his guitar. I like this sires of shots because it shows a lot of character development since it shows a normal day and how he is just a normal boy. So that's a fast edit montage.

Now I will tell you how the music video showcases my best work. It showcases my Photoshop talent. It dose this by having a Photoshop document I worked on. It also showcases my camera skills. It dose this since I worked some scenes. So that's how this music video showcases my best work.


The song we are doing is Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry The lyrics from the two minutes are as follow

Animated Life Lessons

Hello everyone today I'll tell you about my animated life lessons. ow I'll tell you about my teammates personal character traits and how the story exaggerates who they are. So first there is Cody his main character trait is that he wants to be a leader so we show that by him becoming one. next is Miranda who's main character trait is that she is clumsy we show this by having here cause the story by tripping. Last there is me who's main character trait is that i'm smart we show this by having me do a puzzle. So that's my teammates' personal character and how we exaggerate them.

Now i'll explain how we use humor in our story. We use humor to show the character's thoughts. Like when cody thinks he's in pixies. Another example is how Miranda is afraid of snakes. So that's how we use humor in our story.

Now i'll describe our level of productivity biggest challenge and best moment. Our level of productivity was low since we didn't talk because we didn't know each other and lack of skills with photoshop animating. Our biggest challenge was animating because we didn't really know what we were doing. Our best moment was finishing our scenes.

Character Devolpment

Hello Everyone today I will be talking about character development. So now I'll tell you what kind of person I am and what humorous or relatable imperfections do you have. The kind of person I am is awkward. Another thing I am is shy. That's basically all I have that's notable. So that's what kind of person I am and some humorous imperfection.

Now I'll explain traits I plan to exaggerate and how could I do this. So the traits I will do this with is my anxiety. The way I will humorously exaggerate it is by making them stutter more often. Another way is by having them more shaking and moving there hands. So that's how what traits I'll exaggerate and how I will do that.

Now I'll tell you how I created my animated character GIF. First Mr. Sanderl took pictures of us. Then we had to cut out ourselves from the background. Then we had to crop it by Height: 720 px Width: 640 px and Res: 300 px/in. Now we are using photoshops animation workspace and a tool called puppet warp to move the pictures limbs to make it look like it's moving. So that's how we made are animated character Gif.

MOV Film Festival



Hello everyone today I will be talking about the Movie me and my team will be making for the upcoming movie festival. The first thing I will be talking about is How do our keywords connect with our audience. Our keywords are Practice, Belief, Hard work, Magic, and Self- Esteem. These connect to our audience because they are main points of or film. So that's how do our keywords connect with our audience.


Now I'll tell you the overall message of the movie. The message is that no matter what it is as long as you keep trying and never give up you can do anything. You see this in the beginning and end of the movie. In the beginning of the movie Callum is trying to learn wizardry but still hasn't got the hang of it then we cut foreword and he has finally done it. In the end his friend Issac doesn't believe that he can do magic but Callum shows him you can. So that's the overall message


Now I'll describe the biggest challenge we faced. I think the biggest challenge we faced was lack of time. The reasons I say this is because we had to film on Saturday and Sunday while are deadline was Monday. So we had to film everything in at least one day. So that's the biggest challenge we faced while making are film.

Hockney Style Joiners
























Hello everyone today I will talk about Hockney style Joiners. First I'm going to talk about How David Hockney's photomontages are different from my photomontages. The way David Hockney's photomontages are different is that his are of better quality since he has better equipment. His is also made better since he is a professional at doing these type of things. So that's How David Hockney's photomontages are different from my own photomontages.

Now I will explain how images can send a positive or negative message. The way pictures send a positive and negative is by what it is of. There are other factors than what the subject is it also depends on how it is taken. Things like composition techniques. It also depends on how the edits are like colour, temperature, Filter etc. So that's how images can send positive or negative messages.

Now I'll describe the message I intend my audience to see. My intended message is a message about family. That's why I have A picture or my mom for it. So the main message is that I wouldn't be here with out my family. So That's my intended message.

2016 Aspiration


Hello everybody today I'll tell you what my 2016 Aspirations are. So I'll tell you five goals for 2016. My first goal is to get better grade and my second goal that's school related is to get to school earlier. My third goal is to make more friends this year and my forth goal is to become a better photographer. My last goal is to become a better editor so that is my five goals for 2016.

Now I'll tell you which goal is most important to me .The goal that is most impotent to me is the last one. The reason that I find is the most impotent is because editing is a type of a really useful skill. The reason I want that is so I can do interesting things with photos and videos. So that's why I want to be an editor is because it is used in a lot a places it can make photos and videos more interesting.

Now let me tell you the steps I'll take to become a better editor. The first step I will take is getting some editing software like windows movie maker for editing videos and then better software after. For photo editing I'll use Pixlr an photo editor that is like adobe photoshop but free and can be used on browsers. That's what I'll do to do the editing on but to edit you need photos or videos to edit so I'll ether make my own videos and take my own photos or use other peoples photos and videos. So I have everything to do but the only way I'll get better is if I actually edit so I'll have to do that. So those are the steps I'll take to become a better editor.

Scratch Game Design


Game One Instructions: Catch the bird till you get five hundred points or keep it away from the computer till the timer is at zero seconds. Use the arrow keys to move move on the bird to score points or just don't let him touch the computer
Game Two Instructions: Use A and D to move and space to jump. Get to the red block then the yellow one before the time runs out


Hello everyone today I will be talking about scratch game design. I'll explain how user experience influenced my game. User experience influenced my game by helping me find code I didn't know about. It also helped me by showing me what I needed to do to do things like make the sprites move. So that's how user experience influenced my game.

Now I'll compare and contrast features of both of these games. The first on is a chase game were you have to chase the bird away from the computer. To move on the first one you use the arrow keys. The second one is a platformer were you have to get to that coloured blocks to win and it has a time limit. In this one you use A and D to move and you use SPACE to jump.

Now I'll tell you about my most advanced code I've done. I think the most advanced code I've done so far was when I made a gravity engine. I think that was the hardest one i've done is because I needed to redo my whole game to do the code. I also thought it was the most advance because I had to take up a whole class period to finish it. So thats my Scratch game design
