Scratch Game Design

User experience definitely influenced the way made my Scratch game because this was a project that the whole class would see. I needed to impress them with something creative and fun to play. Based off off that i tried to find the most creative characters possible. I also checked out all of the backgrounds and music to find a creative one.  My GT teacher was also going to see this so i had to follow the requirments.

I think that my two games are very different but the same in some ways. For example, one way that they are the same is that I used the some of the same codes for them like the arrow keys code. One way that I think they are different is that the Platform game I had to make a lot more sprites than my chase because i needed to have the platforms, the box, the ground, and the sprite that the player controls (Monkey). 

The most advanced code out of my games would have to be falling which was included in the plat former game. This code included 2 data blocks (Gravity, Velocity). This definitely took a while. The biggest bug was also in my plat former game, it was jummping, falling and staying on the plat forms. I think out of all my games the plat former game was the hardest for me.

Invention Comercial

P2T5_Invention from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

The main goals for my team in this assignment was to make the class laugh while telling what our invention does. Also to get in the top three best commercials out of the class, and we were successful with that because we got second... that was a big accomplishment for us!Another goal we had was to make everyone that watched it feel like they had to get our product or that they couldn't live without it. 

I think the best team that we had was after filming and was not on camera, it was our little secret moment. So what happened was that Blossom, Wailana and I went for a sunset surf at the Hanalei Pier and that was really fun. I swear we were out till like 7 pm just surfing our hearts out! I gotta say there were a lot of other little moments where we just started bust laughing at the weirdest things... I think I had the best group that EVER!!

During post production editing all of us had different jobs. Wailana was in charge of cropping and cutting all of the videos to perfection. Blossom was in charge of the sound and lighting and making sure there wasn't any dark, shaky, or super bright shots. I was in charge of the transitions and making all of the shots switch smoothly. We all contributed in helping to find the perfect back round music that matched our commercial. 

Composition Scavenger Hunt

 I think the most important composition technique is the Rule of thirds scenery because there are a lot of pictures that contain this composition. In my class rule of thirds (scenery) was the easiest to get... thats good because now we can point out all of the pictures by famous artists that are rule of thirds scenery. This is a really important composition technique because it can be used in all types of photography. It also makes pictures more engaging and better balanced.


Leading lines was the most difficult composition technique for my class and I because it was hard to find a perfect spot where there was leading lines. Although, there was a lot of places that had leading lines it was hard for my class to step back and look where all of the lines were leading. Another problem with leading lines is that it also required an object where the lines were leading and i guess it was hard for my class and I to put the object in the right place.


Teamwork was a very important skill in this project. This project was about finding out new positions and techniques about filming. Each teammate had her own job... Blossom and wailana were the actresses in each scene. I was the editor, I edited all of the videos to their finest. So without teamwork we wouldn't of been able to complete this project.
