Cracking the Code


I think that everybody should learn to code because it requires quick thinking and it is a fun challenge. Another reason why I think everybody should learn code is because when your just sitting down you can pull out your computer and do a fun coding challenge it can be an occupier that doesn't take a lot of time. Then after you finish your coding session you get a certificate like the one to the left for completing. Again as I said everyone should learn coding because it requires a good memory so you can remember how to get your little coding character to their destination.

My first experience with code was easy but as you go further into the session it gets harder. Coding is in apps and it is the main building block to making a game like apps on your phone or video games on Wii and x-box. When I first did coding I thought it was really hard and to be honest it was really fun and easy. It was a distraction and I lost track of time and soon it was the end of class.


If I could design any program or game I would make a game that anybody would enjoy no matter what age. The game would be based on going through a maze and collecting little gadgets but the catch is that they are mystery gadgets so you wouldn't know if the prize is gonna be nothing or possibly explode on you and if you tunnel deeper into the maze you have to be careful you don't get trapped in the dead end . Also the further you travel through the maze the prizes go from nothing and explosions to pieces of maps telling you the way out and sometimes secret passages that are like short cuts but the catch to this is you never know what the passages hold and it might be a trick to where you have to search for the key to unlock the door out of the maze and if not you have to get out of the tunnel and start over.

My Humorous Monologue






In this project we learned how to work in iMovie and make fabulous videos like our comedic monologue. I enjoyed doing this project because it was a challenge but at the same time it was easy because I knew how to do it from last year. We also learned how to pad and uploading our monologue into the server folder and my favorite part was watching all of the videos on the big screen and judging to see who has the best movie.

So your probably wondering what the heck is pad, well padding is when for example if your in iMovie padding is when you extend the movie to your desired length to make it appealing. Another reason why padding is good is because I believe it makes the movie or video look better and also it can alter the length of the video and during this project we use padding quite a lot to shorten and lengthen our b-roll (footage).

Some of my weaknesses in this project is that I had a harder time with shooting the b-roll because I turned it in late and did it at last minute and to be honest I think it turned out pretty good even though it was late. Some of my strengths are that I have some experience from last year with working in iMovie and with all of the tools in the program. I think that some ways to improve with this project is we could add more b-roll and for me I think I should improve it by maybe fixing my b-roll to make it match up and make it better in every way just to get a better grade and make it better so people want to watch it again and again.
