Music Video Finale

Price Tag Artist- Jessie J

The lyrics of my teams song relates to us because life isn't all about money. Our song name is Price Tag and it talks about how life isn't about money and being happy is more better. The music video is giving a very important lesson to everyone. I think that if you only care about money in your life and getting everything you want you wont be that happy. Being happy and loving your life is more important then getting what you want. People all around the world are suffering from a lot of disasters including little kids, elders and adults. instead of you buying everything you see you can use your money wisely and donate some money to people and organizations who really need it. I think this song is very important to everyone, if you listen really closely you will get the message. You can get the message and know what they are talking about and do nothing about money or you can try help the world. Remember life isn't all about money it's more about everyone feeling loved and knowing that they are safe and happy all the time!! ACTIONS speak louder then WORDS!!

My favorite fast edit montage sequence was in the middle of the music video. It was of all of my team mates doing a scene in the bathroom and we were all dancing and singing. All of the sudden a boy comes out of the restroom and was video taping us for the whole time. We got the whole thing on video. It was really funny. Another sequence was we were all throwing money everywhere and we see this guy at the tip of our eye dancing and signing and saying to us you guys are rich. It was really funny he was going crazy everywhere dancing and singing. He went in the bathroom started to dance, he went in the stores and did the same thing. He was really funny.

It shows my best piece of work by... looking at the quality of my video. When you look at our video and watch the whole thing it shows all the hard work we put in it and making sure everything was our best and close to perfect. Because nothing can be perfect. It also shows all the time we put in this music video. We had 2 weeks to do this and we got it in on time. It was very hard to figure out when to film we all had to do something everyday so we planned to do it Monday after school in town. We wanted to get all the filming done in that one day so we wouldn't have to go back to town so we stayed late and got all the filming done.  We really tried hard to finish this with our best quality and we DID IT!

Animated Life Lessons

My teammates personal traits are very different from mine and the people I'm used to hanging out with. Jaesha's personal traits are drama queen, misunderstanding and doesn't really listen in this story. Akasha's personal traits are, she always thinks about other people and is very humble. I am a very different person I am very energetic, I love meeting new people and I always try to make new friends. Our story brings out all of the good things about them. If we didn't have them in our story it wouldn't make any sense. The people in the story mostly make up the whole thing and without my teammates our story wouldn't be a story. I am so glad on who my team is whiteout them I would never meet new people and have different experiences with people out of my box. I am so glad about who my team is we work perfectly together and this is our first time working together.

The humor in our story is when I accidentally hit Jaesha in the face with the soccer ball. I wasn't that good and soccer and I was trying to make a goal when Jaesha was the goalie and I kicked the ball..... I accidentally kick her in the face. After she was crying and I go over there and I ask her if she is ok, she gets up and says I'm fine and walks away. The message of the story relates to everyone because sometimes you try something new and you mess up a lot and someone gets hurt you figure out the situation.  You also should always forgive the person and keep on trying no matter what. Just because you aren't good at something doesn't mean you stop. When you start off you are not prefect at it you have to keep trying. You always have to work your way to being really good. You can never be perfect you can always learn something new and do better. So remember to always try and never give up you don't start off good you have to work your way there.

My team went really good except for sometimes we had some struggles with the whole puppet warp and making the scenes. We worked really good we all tried our best and worked as a team. We put all of our effort in making this movie it took a lot of time doing this and we still could have made it better. But we really tried and we all learned a lot of new things in this project. Our biggest challenge was taking all the scenes and putting them on the IMovie and making all the scenes equal up to the voices. That took the most time out of everything we had to edit it all and cut a lot of things off and make brand new scenes just to make it look good and make sense. The best moment out of this whole production was video taping our voices we had a lot of fun doing that we laughed a lot and didn't think about all the stress.

Character Development

How do I define myself? I am a Blossom Lava-Lei Novoa I absolutely love cooking and thinking outside of the box. I am also very adventurous and very creative. I don't like doing things people have already done I want to be different. Everything about me sounds good but sometimes and can freak out over things and get a little to crazy. Everything about me is pretty much crazy when I want to do something I go ahead and do it without thinking. I only think about things if I will get in trouble or I will seriously hurt myself but I try not to think about everything bad that will happen. I try to think about everything good and not looking back at what I could have done.

When I interact with someone new that I don't know I try to make them feel welcomed and make them feel like they belong here. When I went to a new school I was very grateful to have people I know there and be able to talk with them. If I didn't have anyone to be next to and hang out with them I would have been very lonely and I would feel like I don't belong there and know one wanted me there. So if there is a new kid at your school remember  to talk to them and try to make friends with them so they feel welcomed and make them want to stay at our school and have a good couple of years. When you do these things it helps the person figure out the school and it makes you feel a lot better knowing that you did something good.

When I made my GIF character we had to do these steps: have our picture of our self and then cut it out so there is no background behind you. Then you change the image size and have the picture move from the bottom of the frame to the front and center of the image with a lot of frames. Then you make another folder to put the image that you are gonna put the puppet warp on. After you do that you make yourself move so you look realistic and not fake, using the puppet warp. Then you, have to save everything yo make sure you don't loose it. When you finish that you put everything together you watch it and fix the little changes then, you save it. The process making the GIF was ok it really struggling me and figuring out what to ask for help was really hard. I think if I had to choose between this or something else I would probably choose something else. I don't really like doing this it doesn't really interest me I would rather do something else.

.MOV Film Festival

Our keywords connect with our audience by having the words relate to the audience and having them really relate to people. If your scripts didn't really have any connection with the audience they won't have any emotion in the movie and really connect with them. If you dont have the audience connecting with the movie they won't be that interested in that movie they might want to go see a different movie. Wouldn't you want people to love your movie and want to see it over and over again thats why you should have your keywords connect with the audience. It's really important to make sure that your movie relates to other people and have a lot of emotion in it so everyone gets drawn into the movie and feels like there in the movie.




The message my movie is giving everyone is that bullying can really HURT someone and that hurting someone is not that nice. If you ever get bullied TELL someone and they will help you and help the person who is bullying you. We wanted to bring AWARENESS to everyone (parents, teachers,kids, principles, ect..) this has been happening a lot and not a lot of people know that there KIDS might be getting bullied or there BEST FRIEND might be getting bullied and if you have someone helping you get through this it will help you a lot. Our movie will HELP kids a lot with bullies and show you the easy way to get out of bullies without hurting yourself and other kids!Bullying happens all around the WORLD and some end up dying so if you are getting bullied its really important to tell someone it will help you and the other person a lot! So beware if any kids are getting BULLIED or if you are getting BULLIED tell someone and ask for HELP!!

My biggest challenge I faced in making the movie is getting everything filmed on time. When we got our camera it was on 2 bars and Mr.Sanderl didn't give us a battery so we had to film in a rush. We tried to do everything but we just couldn't our camera died so we just worked on our plan and memorized our scripts. Since we couldn't film everything we had to do it another day so that meant we were a day behind. It was really hard to get everyone to film another day because everyone was busy and other things came up. So we had people shoot only there scenes one day and other people shoot there scenes another day so we would get all the shots done. Even though it was a bit of a STRUGGLE we got all of the shots done and we were only one day behind but we got caught up by staying in during recess and working on it.

Tiny Spherical Worlds

Why composite images is more then 1 photo is if you take 1 photo the computer cant blend all the photos together to make 1 big panorama. Imagine you getting a puzzle but you only have 1 piece that is what its like in composite photos. You cant only have 1 photo to make the photo bigger, you need more photos to overlap and make 1 big one. Composite images is very important if you want to make a panorama because, you need a lot of photos to make a panorama so it will turn out correct. Taking more then 1 photo helps you a lot so you know that you are doing what you are supposed to be doing and not following the directions and having your composite images all be off and not going through because you didn't take more then 1 photo you took a couple so you can make a panorama or something different.




The difference between a polar and a spherical pano is the polar pano is a sphere image that has you in the photo and it looks like you are standing on the earth. In the polar pano it looms like you are bigger then the
world. You are the star attraction in the photo and the world is behind you. The spherical pano is an image that is from the ground and you are the star attraction from the ground. You are right in the center in the spherical pano and the world is curling all around you in a big ball. Both panos are a lot alike but the format is a lot different. One pano is from the ground and the other in from a very high point and it looks like you are bigger then the earth.

My finished tiny worlds are convincing because the worlds look like there all one not bunch of different pictures. Also before we made them a world there was a big line in between the world and i smeared everything to make it look all together and not a bunch of little pictures. My tiny worlds are all blended together really good and they don't look like there a bunch of different pictures. They look like there is only one big picture and not a bunch of different pictures that are combined horribly. The tiny worlds look like the real world and not a fake unrealistic world that looks nothing like a world. I could do somethings to make my worlds better but overall I think I did well overall we had a really tight time limit and I'm new at all of this (I don't really know everything I'm doing but Im learning).

Hockney Style Joiners

David Hockney's photomontage is different from mine is his photomontage sends different messages then mine. I think he put more time into his photos then mine. Also we all have different ideas and thoughts about how we want our photomontage to look. If we all thought the same way  nothing would look different and everything would be the same. The difference between my photomontage and David Hockney's is mine has a different story then all of his photomontage. When you look at our photomontage each one tells a different story and looks different. They all don't look the same.

If you show a discouraging image it might discourage people and send a negative message. You don't want to send a lot of discouraging images because not  a lot of people will want to look at your photos anymore. I think everyone doesn't want to be discouraged they would rather be encouraged. If you show a very happy and positive photo most likely people would rather want to look at that image then discouraging images. Sending a positive image makes people feel a lot better the image could make everyone fell good about themselves and not hating stuff about themselves. Sending positive or negative images is very easy to do sometimes you don't even know that you have sent a negative message in an image.

I intend my audience to read this photomontage as the tree sprouting and growing taller and seeing that as me I will be growing taller and sprouting and being myself. This photomontage is relating to me and everyone else because everyone changes and goes there own way. We are all changing in our own ways and trying to figure out who we are and this photo it is relating to us with the tree its showing as the tree grows we will grow to. Sometimes trees bend and go other directions and that is what we will do but no matter what we can go strait again and we can go back to the correct path.

2016 Aspirations

I have a lot of goals for 2016, but I have 5 main ones. The first goal is to pick up at least 5 pieces of trash whenever I go to the beach or the park. Also I will eat less sugary and unhealthy foods this year and I will try to eat more healthy and be a little bit more fit. Another goal for me is to try to go outside a lot more instead of being on my phone, like after school riding my bike around and adventuring a little or doing something active outside. I would also like to read more books this year last year I didn't read that much and it didn't help me at school so this year I will try harder! My last goal is to try to be positive all the time and not get upset or annoyed easily.

I think my most important goal is trying to be positive all the time and not getting annoyed or upset easily. Why I think that is my most important goal is if you are alway mad your life will change you won't try your hardest at everything and you will be depressed. But if your are positive and you try to stay happy and calm all day your life will feel brighter and happier and a lot more easier. I think being positive is very important in your life. If you get easily annoyed or upset all the time, you change, and when you talk to your parents or they try to talk to you your conversations it will change in a bad way and not in a good way. Being happy and positive all the will change your life in a very good way.

To make sure this goal happens its gonna take a lot of effort. I will try to be nicer to my siblings and fight less with them by, not getting really mad and saying something rood back if they make me mad or annoyed. I will also stay calm when I talk to my parents instead of yelling at them if I'm mad. I will take 5 deep breaths and talk calmly and try to calm down and not yell at them. I will do everything my parents tell me to do and try my hardest if I don't want to do it instead if getting mad at my parents and walking away. To be positive all the time its gonna take a lot of effort and time.

Scratch Game Design

My user experience influenced me a lot. They helped me see what could be changed and what was really good. I love doing fun and weird things that no one would ever think of and the user helped with my imagination and changing things up in my game. I tried to make my game hard but not so hard that you cant win. Also it helps me see that a lot of people do coding and scratch and that even though its sort of hard they never give up they keep on trying. I've had some trouble in code but seeing that everyone keeps trying it gives me the strength to not give up and keep on trying. Everyone has helped me so much.   

There are a lot of features in this game. For example a feature in these games are the sprites and the platforms. Also the background is a feature. Some more features in this game are timer, the backdrops, the scripts for the sprite to be able to move and for the backdrops to. A lot of games don't really teach you things, we play them because they are fun. But in the scratch game it's fun, it challenges us and it teaches us at the same time.  The scratch game is not like all the regular games it's different, I love trying new and different things because it challenges my brain and makes it work after school. We can learn from really fun games and we won't even know that we are learning, at first I didn't know that we could learn from that game because it was so interesting.

I think my best code was the plat former game even though its not the best game I made but its the hardest code I've made. I really like it but it doesn't really work that smooth it has a lot of bugs in it. My first game I made called the chase game didn't have that much bugs as the plat former game but the coding was really easy so it didn't challenge me. My most difficult bug fix was in the plat former game. It was making the sprite be able to jump, at first when I pressed the up arrow it would go to the right and it would try to walk in the wall. I had to delete my whole script and start all over. I had to do it a couple times but after 5 times I got it to work.

Invention Commercial

My teams main goal for this project was to make everyone laugh when they see this video . We also wanted to show that with the Stash Cam you can have the best time surfing while getting it on video. Our other goal for this project was when you watch the video you want to buy it right away and go to the beach and use the Stash Cam.

My best team moment in this project during production was saying the script in pidgin. It was super hard not to laugh while we were videotaping. I absolutely loved making the video and pretending that it was going to be on Tv . We had a very fun time shooting this video and being able to do it at the beach. While we were videotaping I looked around, everyone was happy and having fun that was the best thing ever.

During my teams post-production editing Wailana did all the padding and editing the sound because she was really interested in doing this and she was really good at it.  Kalista Did all of the transitions and did some off the footage. Why she did the transitions and took some of the footage was Wailana and I were in the footage she had to take and she did the transitions because she knew if we needed transitions there or if it wouldn't look good. I would watch the video at the end and make all the little corrections that we needed. I didn't do a lot of the editing because I was in most of the footage.

Composition Scavenger Hunt

I think the most important composition is the rule of thirds subject. Why I think it is the most important to me is it really shows that you are really neat and organized it your photography. If someone is looking at your photography and its really sloppy and all shaky or unfocused they wont think its really that good. The rule of thirds composition technique helps you with keeping everything organized and neat and everyone will think that you are really good at video taping or taking photos.

I think the most difficult composition is the ground level, because you have to go as close to the ground. Also if something hits your camera it can get scratched. Why I think its so hard for me is, whenever I put the camera as close to the ground it always gets blurry, and its hard to see because you are bending down really low. I can use the ground level composition more by using it when i'm at the beach trying to take a photo of the wave crashing on the sand. Or when I want to take a photo of something on the ground like a little ant, you wouldn't want to use the point of eye composition you wouldn't be able to see the ant.


My teammates in this project was Kalista Brigante Wailana Marvin. Kalista Brigante  edited  all the shots we took. She also put in all the transitions, music and the titles. Wailana Marvin was the actress in most of the shots and she videotaped some of the videos at the end. I was also a actress in a couple shots and I padded everything.

Cracking the Code

I think everyone should learn how to code because a lot of kids at home sit on the computer and play games, they could be learning how to code. Its a lot more better then sitting and doing nothing, it challenges your brain and makes you think really hard. I have been coding right now in Mr.Sanderls and I think it is very fun! Even though it is pretty hard the first time I think if you keep on doing it you can get really good at it.

My experience working with code was good for the first time. At first it was easy and then it kept on getting harder and harder. I thought it was very challenging. You really have to follow the instructions and be a complex thinker. After I got the hang of it, it was pretty easy and fun. When you first try its really easy then when you get around number 15 thats when you really have to use your brain and never give up.I think if you try it you will have a lot of fun.

If I could design any program or game..... It would be a game called coding is fun! You could make up any person or choose any disney character. You would have to try to get all the food in your bag by moving up, down, sideways, circles, jumping, or ice skating. It would go up to 30 levels, it would get harder and harder but one level will be super easy. On the 30th level you have to type in where you want to go in code, it is probably gonna be really challenging.

My Humorous Monologue

I have learned a lot of things from my humorous monologue some things are, learning how to import videos to iMovie. Also what the difference of B-roll and A-roll is. Another thing I learned from the project is how to work a camera and how to take the memory card and put it on a flash drive. Also making a joke and putting it on a joke plan. I Learned that timing is very important when you are telling your joke, you should be on time. One last thing I learned is, how to make a joke and make people laugh.

Pad is space around an element's content and margins or borders. The length or running time in your movie or video. Its extra footage before your video or movie of after it. Padding your clips is crucial because if you don't pad your movie or video will look really choppy. Also it wont look like it all works together and not all separated. Plus when you end the movie nothing will cut off and you will see your whole video and nothing chopped off at the end or beginning.

My biggest weakness in the comedic monologue was taking the videos and my voice and editing it to make it all fit together. Also I had trouble with taking my videos and putting it on to my computer. What I thought was very easy in my project was importing everything onto iMovie. Another thing I thought was easy was filming my B-roll and A-roll plus making up my joke. Ways I can improve on is when the teacher give instructions or directions I should really listen really close and not play around while he's talking. Also when I put all my work in my folder I should name it so I stay organized and not know where everything is.

 

Comedy Writing

Sense of humor is an important character trait because a lot of people have stressful days and they would really want to read something that is funny. If we didn't have a sense of humor none of us would be funny. If someone was sad we wouldn't be able to brighten up their day with a funny story. We need to be able to laugh and giggle, it brightens up there day no one wants to be sad all day and never laugh. Having a sense of humor is very important in our lives.

Five tips to write a humorous narrative is... A big and loud voice so everyone can here and speaking in a tone to match the narrative, VOICE MATTERS!! The Secret to Humor is SURPRISE, Most humor relies on surprise, one way or another. Also make a connection with your audience. Define your attitude in the story, how does the story make you feel? Happy? Sad? Angry? Lastly, be passionate about what your writing it makes you story become a lot more stronger!

My comedic monologue is about my brother doing ninja tricks and trying to teach kids how to be a ninja turtle. But he fell off the bed and fell on his face and grabbed my parents curtains and ripped them and he broke my parents rods. I think my comedic monologue is funny because I was right there when it happened and video taping the whole thing. My brother is super clumsy even though he got hurt after he was laughing. My parents got really mad at him but laughing at the same time. It was also funny when he fell on his face.

Motivational Poster

For our motivational poster at Kapaa Middle School, I need 2 text layers, only one for your manifesto and the 3 other text layers will be of your personal quotes. You will have 4 image layers, 1 portrait only of your face and 3 images that represent who you are. your design requirements you are gonna need to kern both text layers with no blank spaces on your paper. Also you will need a triadic color scheme its 1 dominant and 2 harmonious accent colors from the color wheel. You will also need a visual balance its equal weight of elements in a design. Lastly you will have blending options and adjustment layers for your image.

To make my motivational poster....I first made personal quotes, then I made my manifesto. After I was done with that I copied it and put it into Photoshop and made 2 text layers, my manifesto then my personal quotes. I started to kern the words to make it fit the whole paper without any blank spaces. When I was done with all of that I had to add 4 other layers, 3 text layers that represent who I am and 1 portrait only of your face. Then I had to put in my triadic color scheme for my whole blog, and made everything look colorful. Now I had to blend and adjust all the layers and images to make everything fit.

My biggest challenge for making my motivational poster was getting my 4 photos on the computer and blending it in with my manifesto and personal quotes. Getting everything organized and making the letters pop out with color around it, was also very hard. I can improve this for next time by asking for help when ever I need it and not being scared to ask anyone and right down everything that you didn't really get so you can remember what to do.

Personal Manifesto

We're back to school! Ready to learn and figure out about ourselves, here's me. Surfing is my life I absolutely love doing it. I like making pottery and sculpture’s because I feel like an artist when I make something new. The ocean is my oasis because whenever I feel frustrated the ocean calms me down. I love traveling around the world because it makes me feel alive and getting to experience so many things in the world. I love laughing.

Stop wishing start doing. Do it now, sometimes later becomes never. If it doesn't challenge you it won't change you. Never say I can't. Stay focused and never give up. Work hard dream big. Everyday is a second chance. Nothing great ever came that easy. Believing in yourself is the first secret to success. If you have a positive mind many things are possible. Be passionate , never give up. Learn to the fullest. Everyday is a chance to get better. Live with a purpose. Follow a map to it's edges, and keep going. Let curiosity be my guide. Let the journey unfold before me.

My manifesto can apply to you because we all like to believe in our self and be happy every single day. Be the person who you are in your heart. Don't let people tell you who you are, be yourself. Be open to who you are and free, don't close up just because someone doesn't like who you are. Be strong don't ever change yourself! We should do what we love. This is from my heart and what I think. I say this to myself every single day I hope that you will do the same!
