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

Invention Commercial

Hello everyone today i'll tell you about our Invention Commercial. Now i'll tell you about our teams main goal. Our goal was to make our commercial entertaining so people would enjoy it. We did have some other goals to our main goal was to get a good grade. Another thing that was a goal was to complete the goals mr, sanderl had. The goals were to make it intreating tell the audience what it dose and how it works. Thats what our team goals were.

Now i'll tell you our best team moment. We thought that the best moment was when me Cephas Woodward, and Issac Dubby were making the plan. the reason we felt this way was because we spent the most time on it. The other reason is because we did the most intreating stuff on it. that was our best team moment.

Now i'll tell you about what happened during post production. The person who mainly edited was mostly me but cephas did some editing. The reason I edited was because it was on my computer. The reason cephas edited was because he was the tea leader. So that's what happened during post-production

Composition Scavenger Hunt

Hello everyone today I will be talking about our classes composition scavenger hunt. Now i'll tell you what composition technique I think is the best. I think the best technique is POV or point of view because it shows us how someone sees something in the media. Like maybe you character goes into a air vent and the alien is going to pop out from above well with POV you can se it like your there. So thats what composition techniques I think is the best

Now i'll tell you which one I find is the most difficult and why it should be used more. I think the most difficult one is Unusual angles because of how much effort it takes since you have to be carful to not drop the camera and a lot of angles that are unusual might be a different composition techniques. You could use it more in horror movies to show the area the characters are in is strange by have the angle seem strange. Another way how it can be used is your character is asleep and you want to show what they are dreaming about this would work and make it look more like a dream. Thats the most difficult and how you can use it more

Now i'll tell you about my team mates and who did what. The team leader was Cephas Woodward and our other team mate was Issac Dubby. Cephas is a seventh grader and Issac is a sixth grader. Cephas mainly did the voice over Issac did was the actor in this. I did filming in this project. So that's my team mates and what they did on this project.

Cracking the Code

Hello everyone today I will be talking about the new subject in class coding. I think everyone should learn how to code. The reason why I think this is because coding is used in a lot of jobs even calculators use codes. Another reason why is because if you can't get a job or it doesn't give you enough money then if you code a game you can sell it. Also you can learn it just for fun to make something and not release it and use it on your own. So thats why I feel/think people should learn coding.

Now i'll tell you about my first time with code. My first time I was getting thought by a friend. I didn't really understand it so I didn't do things with code till last week. Last week Mr. Sanderl had us go on a web site called Code. I thought it was fun and I liked it since it simplified it by  making it show you the code after doing a puzzle with code blocks. That is my first experience coding.

Now i'll tell you what i'll do if I made make any game or program. If I did that I would make a program that would fix you devices like phone headphones laptop/desktop etc. You would get sent a cd tray but it is square and you have to put plastic or metal in it. When you put it in it would store it and fix your devices. So that's what I would do if I made.

My Humorous Monologue

HoyJ_Comedy from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Hello everyone! Today i will be talking about what i learned from the project we did in G.T. One thing I have learned from this project is how to use Imovie better that I did last year. I also learned how to tell better jokes; And I learned how to make a good comedic monologue. Another thing I learned was what makes shows like Seinfeld or The Office funny. So I've learned a lot from this project I even learned about something called pad.

Now I will tell you about pad and why it's crucial. Pad is to prolong something. It's like in my video my title is a way to pad the video or how my transition is there to pad. Pad is a crucial part to a show. Why is it is because without pad it would be a hard because pad is used to make shows or videos longer so it can be a certain amount of time. So that's why pads so important.

Now I'll talk about my projects weaknesses strengths and what to do to improve. I would say my video's biggest weakness was my visuals not being related or not fitting well. My video strength probably was my jokes. I think I could improve by getting better b-roll that fits. So this has Been My Humorous Monologue

Comedy Writing

Hello everyone today i'll be talking about comedy writing. In this paragraph i'll be talking about why sense of humor is an important trait. I think that sense of humor is an important trait because if you don't have it then your going to be a bit boring. Now when I say boring I don't mean it as an insult but if you don't have a sense of humor people will think that your be thought to be a humorless person and will be conceived as boring. So that's why I think sense of humor is an important trait.

Now i'll give you five tips for writing a humorous narrative. First you should think of a unimportant thing in life like braces or brushing you teeth. Next you should be sarcastic in it like "Yeah this food is great" then make a joke like "if I were a dog". For the next two you should make fun of your self like "you see this tie I can't believe I bought it I look like a clown. polkadots who thought that was a good idea?!" and also make fun of awkward moments that happen if you mess up try to make it seem like you wanted to make that happen. Last step is have someone read it if they don't laugh once or twice redo it.

I will now tell you about my comedic monologue and why it's funny. My monologue is about burning yourself why? How many of you gotten burned probably all of you and that's why since you can relate. Also you can do funny things like maybe have your self talk normally and calmly then when you are talking about  touching a piece of food yelling why cause they will think it's funny because you wouldn't expect it. I think my monologue is funny because it has somethings to surprise the people watching. So thats my comedy writing post see you next time.

Motivational Poster

Hello everybody today I will be taking about our project this week in G.T our project is to make a motivational  poster. There are a couple requirements you have to meet in this project. The first requirements are layer requirements what you need is 2 text layers that have the manifesto we made earlier on our old blog post and the other text layer is for quotes you follow or you find fit you well. The second layer related requirement is having four layer that have photos. three of them are for symbols a symbol is  picture the represents you. The one other picture layer is for a portrait or a picture of you usually from the top of someones head to the bottom of there chin. Then after that you must add a kind of expiation to your words what do i mean we'll you must Kern your words till there is no blank space or holes on the page with no text. Next you need to put some blending options to make it look ascetically pleasing. After the last two requirements are to take the photos and arrange them in a way that there visually balanced and you have to put a triadic colour scheme

So do you want to know how to do what I did no well then I can't help you with that so just read it. First I opened photo shop like you will probably have to do but i don't know maybe you have paint any ways I made a new document to start. After that I wrote my personal quotes on the document after that I took the manifesto I wrote on my blog and placed it in the document by copying and pasting it. after that I toke my symbols and then took a portrait and put it in the back ground. Now I kerned my words to make them perfect and I added blending options to it and added adjustment layers to the pictures and turned it in. Mr. Sandrel let us fix it up ore so I did and the fixed up one the finale picture.

So as you can tell that there was a lot of challenges in this project. So now I will tell you the biggest and how I got past it. So I would say the biggest challenge was the kerning. The reason I think this is because I had to leave the document with out saving just to not have it be messed up. So how did I get past it? I just kept trying since I would get better evenly and I did. I also got past it by saving when ever I liked my work so it wouldn't get messed up or discarded. So this was my Motivational poster the steps challenges and requirements not in that order.

Personal Manifesto

Hello everyone and welcome to my First post of the schools year. So heres some interesting facts about me to start off. I have broken seven or more electronics two from water three from an error one was a iphone which broke since it wasn't new and my original xbox 360 from the evil red ring of death and my 3ds from i don't really know it just stopped working and the rest I forgot how. I have purple hair from dying it. I have had/have four pets one dog and three cats two of the cats were outside ones and they wondered off and didn't come back I still have the one cat and dog. I'm thinking about writing a story haven't wrote anything down yet just thinking and changing it depending on what I think would be interesting. My last thing is that i'm setting stuff up now for later on when Make a new channel or use my channel on youtube.

This is your time your place and your life. Don't waste it arguing with others on what your doing with it. Chase your dreams till you get them. Stop your nightmares from being nightmares. Don't let what goes agents your ambitions block your path. Don't just live your life love it it's your only one. If you don't try it you won't ever understand what it's like to of done it. If you can dream it you can achieve it. Today and every other are short so use as much of them as you can.

Now that you have read my manifesto I would like to explain how it relates to you guys. I find that it applies to you as a message from me to you. It basically it's your time your wasting auguring with people if you really want them you should be chasing them not auguring about why you want the. Next it means don't let your nightmare continuing to be nightmares and make them dream and don't let things that are trying to stop your dreams or ambitions to stop you from reaching them. Now it's saying to not be content with where your at try to make it better that it is now since you don't have any more ones to use. Now it's saying to try everything or you will never find out what doing it is like and also if you can think or conceive something you can do it.
            

Movie Trailer Critique

Hello everybody today I will be talking about My movie Trailer also I am told to inform you that the movie will not be coming to theaters. My/our (by our I mean my team's) project was to make a movie poster and a movie trailer. My team mates are Mason Doo, Makaio Gonsalves, and  Micah Miller. My teammates were good and they didn't slack off but once in a while one of us couldn't come but for the most part they tried there best. Our trailer document talks about the plot about how two fbi agents have to stop two aliens. I contributed on writhing and acting since I was one of the actors.

The requirements were that you had a team movie poster, it had to be one minute and thirty two seconds, you needed foley, and you needed five scenes.  We had a poster I forget which one of us made it. Our movie was two minutes and twenty nine seconds instead of one minute and thirty seconds. We had foley in it. We also had five scene.

Our class gave us a score that was decent not to good nor bad. I agree since we had problems along the way. Also I think that we got the above and beyond scores two since thats kinda what we did. Also I learned that movie trailer making is hard.
