Scratch Game Design


In my class we all had to create a scratch games that were call Chase and Platfomer. Some of the requirements were to not make a remix of other games and to have blocks to get to a next level. Also it had to be named correctly so you know it was your game. I created this game for people to play it and not just for me. The users of my game helped me create my game because of the games people play today.

In my opinion I think my game was different and unique from my other class mates games because I used different sprites. I also used a different background then most of the other scratch game makers. My game is also a little different then some other makers like my game has a beetle and some people have just a mouse or fish. I also think that my game is different because it has different foods then most people. Also I think my game is kind of unique because I came up with it.

 I think the most difficult coding was getting the beetle to get to the different types of foods. I think this was hard because the ghoul would go haywire and it go's super fast and touches the beetle at a weird time. This is a hard coding because getting my food to move around was hard and getting my ghoul to move slowly was also hard. Some other difficult problems were getting the background to only have one backdrop and not more than one. These problems were hard for me and it may not be hard for you so if you have a solution please let me know.

Invention Commercial


For this assignment my teams goals are to show an audience on how our product worked and they cant live without it. Also another goal we worked on and tried to achieve was to get a good grade and getting it turned in on time. My team worked hard to meet our goal so we can approve. Some goals I think my team could have worked on was time managing and the way we film. I think that my team reached important goals and worked hard on this project.

I think the best team moments is when we all worked together and I popped up in one of the shots.  I also think that moment was fun because we were all working together.  Some other moments that  i thought that were fun were when the whole team had to say how food is important.  This moment was also the best because food is my favorite thing in the world.  That moment was fun and I wis it could happen again.

In the process of editing my team worked together.  Also my team didn't have any special parts of working.  My team worked with different parts such as fixing up extra parts of the clips and with naming the work.  So my team really didn't have a part because we all worked in different ways.  This team was helpful with the production of work.  We also worked hard on doing our own jobs and I think we can succeed even more next time.

Composition Scavenger Hunt



In my opinion I think the most important rule is Extreme Close Up because extreme close up gives better details when looking at a picture. I also think Extreme close up is the most important because you can see everything that cant be seen in a regular photo. I also think that extreme close up is the most important because it can tell you so much in one shot and many details. Extreme close is when a subject is very close to the camera and seen.

I think the most difficult rule is repetition of shapes because in the world now there aren't many resources to find that look exactly the same. Repetition of shapes is when there are many objects that look the same but are different colors or different sizes. I think this is the most complicated because people in the world today try not to make objects and resources the same now days.  In some places you might find repetition of shapes.  Finding repetition of shapes may be easy at times but at other it is not as easy.

This week my GT class did a project and we had to get in to groups of three.  A girl named Hailee and another Christina we were put together and we all took turns speaking, filming and playing a role in the shot.  My teammates helped and we all worked hard to make things come together.  I think in my own opinion that my team was very productive and helpful.  I also think that my team worked in a appropriate way together.

Cracking the Code

In my opinion I think everybody should learn to code because it can help with many problems in life.  Also when people wonder what kind of things create apps and games they have coding to show them the special things that run through apps, games and networks.  I think coding is important to learn because it shows you the basic steps of what happens to the the icons you see on your phone today after you are done using it.  Coding is really fun in my opinion because there is so many things to see and create.  In coding you can express what you want to design and you want the app to work.

My first experience with computer programming or what I like to call coding was really fun.  It was like I was in the game.  The game that was part of coding was really fun, it was called angry birds but a different version.  In my own opinion I think that other people should try coding cause it shows you a lot of resources behind the scenes of a game or app.  Coding is amazing and I think everybody should try it.

If I could make my own program I would make a game where you would have any character from Disney that swims underwater.  The object of the game would be to swim to a golden key without touching any objects listed that are not bad.  After when you past the level you will get more challenged.  As you get higher in levels you will soon be able to change the back round and use more and different moves.  At the end you will get a gold medal.

My Humorous Monologue


WashingtonT_Comedy from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

To first start off my class had to to do a project on comedy/monologue.  Some things we worked on in class and outside of school were our B-roll, filming, how to sign out a camera and how to plan our work before starting our project.  I learned from this project how to work in iMovie and place things properly also to set up your file in iMovie neatly and correctly.  Other things I learned in this project was how to film B-roll and how to use the camera sign out properly.

Another important step is padding because it backs up your projects and many other things to.  The step of padding is crucial because it keeps your things safe in the process of your work. Padding is an advanced safety control to have your things all neatly.  This control helps in many ways like for example its like a net it catches things that are important. In my opinion padding really helped me cause it made things easier in my first iMovie project.

In my own opinion I think some weaknesses would have to be working in iMovie.  Another weakness is padding it may be helpful but it is much more difficult than it sounds.  Some strengths are using the cameras properly and planning your project.  I think these are more easier to work with because they have more options that are mentally and physically better to operate with.  I think some ways to improve these weaknesses and strengths are getting used to using the controls and the many ways of working on different projects.

Comedy Writing

A sense of humor is important because it shows how you feel or how you react to something.  There are so many ways why sense of humor is important for example if you tell a joke the sense of humor would show your reaction or expression to the joke.  To show sense of humor anything the audience is listening to has to have expressions and emotion.  Sense of humor is also important because it takes more than just a joke to see and hear sense of humor.  Last but not least sense of humor  is also important because it is what other people are feeling.



In my opinion I think comedy writing just has to come from what you think.  Some things you say may not be funny but sometimes you have to say what you think might be funny.  I think comedy writing can be a challenge because sometimes you have to wait till something comes to your mind.  Also when doing comedy writing you have to have confidence in yourself.  Comedy writing may be easy for you but it takes much more to go in front of a crowd and tell your original joke.




My comedic monologue was based on a random joker telling a joke to a city crowd.  In my opinion I thought it wasn't funny but everybody else started laughing.  The joker is silent and points at me with anger and such shock.  I think my joke was funny because it shows the sense of humor do to a random girl who thinks a joke is not funny but is also a buzz kill.  In the end the random girl starts to laugh and show that she was not a buzz kill.

Motivational Poster

So first the requirements to a motivational poster is to have some motivating quotes.  Then you need three pictures that symbolize your personal self.  Then you open all pictures and quotes in  you photo shop.  You will also need to kern your letters which means to move them closer.  Finally you will be done.

First step is that I had 3 #gtsym photos and a jumble and mixture of motivational quotes.  Then I downloaded all my pictures into photoshop and I also put my text layer inside photoshop.  The next step is to start kerning your letters.  Next you lay you pics to the background of the text.  Last but not least arrange photos by clicking the alt button and moving your photos around.

To start off with trouble my first was kerning and transporting all my pictures and my text. The kerning was hard because you have to move your words to a certain place to make it look good.  Another one is when you have to rearrange your photos.  With even more trouble I had a ton of hard time with moving photos around in photoshop.  Finally you will need to know how to finish and be creative.

Personal Manifesto

Five interesting things about me are that I love to play soccer, I like to play with different types of animals, going to the beach, hanging out with all of my friends, and taking long soothing walks down the road.  I've been playing soccer for six years and I continue to keep it up.  I have four dogs and I love playing with them.  When I go to the beach I splash the refreshing water against my face.  I love to hang out with my friends because we talk about so many amazing things.  Finally I like taking long walks because I love to exercise and live a healthy life style.

My manifesto is to, Live life to the fullest.  Just do it.  Always be positive.  Work hard.  Have fun.  No drama.  I can and I will.  Impossible is not a word.  Don't forget to smile.  Stop wishing start doing.  Inhale confidence and exhale doubt.  Be a fear-free person.  I hope to achieve all my beliefs by the end of the school year.  Live life to the fullest. Impossibles not a word. Never say never. your beautiful.  Be a leader not a follower. Stay healthy. No drama. Be happy. Be nice. Be yourself. Be unique. Be original. Be truthful. Succeed in your dreams. Always be positive. Just do it. Stay humble No grumble.

What's A Manifesto?  Well a manifesto is what the text is above.  A manifesto is a public declaration that creatively shares personal beliefs or ideas.  I think this manifesto will help very much because this paragraph of a manifesto will show you how to create or set examples for manifesto's.
