Portfolio Review

On my blog for this class, I found that my most successful project in this class was the culture project. I think that it was better then all my other projects because i spent a lot of time on it, and I wanted to try and make it really good because people around the world would be spending time looking at it. With this project I spent a lot of time taking pictures outside and inside and it took a lot of thinking to figure this out because we take what we do everyday for granted and don't think that other people around world don't have what we do.

A project that i struggled with was the stop motion project. It was difficult because you had to take pictures in exactly the same spot and you have to take in the lighting and spot to make it perfect. With this project I learned to take more time and be patient to get a good outcome, and I also learned to see things more clearly and watch details carefully.

As a result of taking this course I learned how to use photo shop too edit my pictures and to also to make stop motion video's. The stop motion really tought me to be spot on and precise and patient with my pictures, and the photo shop helped me to edit and fix mistakes on good photo's.

From here I am going to use my skills to take better photos, and I also can start using my computer skills on more things for example using coding and other things on games.

Video Production

Video production is the creation of making a movie, or a clip. To make video's you will definitely need a camera or computer. When you plan out what you want your movie to be about you can film it or if it is an animation, you can download a software for video editing. If you are shooting an actual video instead of animating one, you need to keep your camera steady, zoom slowly and identify the background (places). You can then upload it on the computer and begin editing. Once edited and finished, you can upload it wherever you want to.

 

Create A Holiday Card - Code

Today my teacher let the class go on www.code.org/learn to do anything we want. I decided to make a moving holiday card and had to learn how to do it by trial and error.

 First I picked on what I wanted to do

You then watch the tutorial on the side

After watching the tutorial you will then pick the background of your holiday card

Once the background is picked choose your character or characters

 

When your background and characters are chosen, you type in what you want them to say or if you want them to move.

 

I had fun playing around with this, and it didn't take long to catch onto at all.

 

Coding

Today in class I got to experience coding. To learn about coding I played a game to see just how easy it is or hard it is. I went on http://learn.code.org and watched a video talking about it. After I watched this video I then got to try coding for myself. At first I found coding really easy but by the 16th puzzle it started getting harder. You were introduced to the what if blocks, and that is what confused me, and I finishing puzzles after that. To make this website and game better I would give more hints and help then just the first video you watch. Even though I got frustrated at times it was still fun and I enjoyed playing this game.

Stop Motion - Cup Cake

For our stop motion, Me and Brittany found out that we had to make it about Humpty Dumpty to enter it into the Humpty project on animation chefs. We made a story about how humpty dumpty was sitting on the bowl and that he fell in and turned into a cupcake. We had a lot of fun with this, and tried to make it as cool as we could. enjoy ☺

Stop Motion Project

Myself and Brittany have been thinking about our stop motion project. We came up with the idea to make a stop motion out of the process of making cupcakes.  We will be using an iphone to take the pictures for the stop motion. We are going to record this in Brittanys kitchen and the lighting will stay the same because of the room light. We are excited to work on this and for others to see it.

Elements and Principles

Line

 

I chose this photograph because the multiple lines made the grass look interesting and it leads you into the photo.
Value

 

I chose this photograph because the clouds in the sky show value from the darker shades and the lighter shades.
Texture

 

 

I chose this photograph because the grey part of the speaker has texture and it looks like it has texture.
Movement

 

I chose this photograph because it shows me running around in that moment, so this picture shows my movement.
Unity/Harmony

 

 

 

This is unity/harmony because everything in the picture comes together to make a whole and the trees link together to form unity.
Repetition/Pattern

 

 

I chose this photograph because it shows that the lockers are repeating each other, and that they are in a pattern.
Emphasis

 

I chose this photograph because it shows emphasis by the camera being focused on the juice box and the background blurred out.
