Cracking the Code

The newest project my G.T. class is working on is coding. Coding is step-by-step writing commands for your computer or computer programming. People should learn to code because it provides different skills. A concentrated mind is needed for different levels. I think people should learn how to code because, programming computers are important. Coding is important because it powers our  digital world.

I have no experience with coding so it was a new thing to me. I'm getting a little used to the hard levels. Coding is new to me, so it was a little hard. As I went through the levels it got more and more harder. Anyways, the biggest challenge for me was when I got to create my own pattern... It was hard because I didn't who what to put, and every time I put something nothing would happen.

If I could design any program or game, I would make a zombie video game. I know its a bit cheesy, but zombies are my favorite. It would have four life restocks. It would have these types of zombies crawlers, runners, fresh zombies, scramblers, and most important thriller zombies. You can switch your weapons out, the weapons would be hammers, knifes, and bats. There would also have a little story behind the game, my idea was to make a video about how the virus was spread and how people didn't get the virus, then the game would begin. Zombies would be everywhere, kinda like a persons worse nightmare.

My Humorous Monologue

The project Mr.Sanderl's Gifted and Talented program is currently working on is about comedy. We are making our own comedy videos that are about our jokes. While doing this project I learned a few things. The first thing I learned about was how to create a joke and punchlines. The next thing I learned was how to import videos into iMovie. The last thing I learned was about the grading criteria that was needed.

Now I will tell you what padding is, basically it is the space between the beginning and ending in a video. Padding is when you make the video smaller, it is crucial because when your frame is smaller than your output you can add padding to make sure your video frame is the same size as your output image frame. A few things I learned from padding is, that it helps if you say "rolling" and "action" it'll help the person know when to start talking, then when they're done talking it's good to say "cut" so they know that the cameras off.

Overall I think my video was pretty good. Although I had a few dark shots, in my opinion I think I met most of the standards. There are a lot of weaknesses in this project, mines were mostly editing, also learning how to add all my clips was a struggle, but I succeeded. My strengths were filming, I love to film, but the cameras were a little different from what I'm used to using. I think I can improve by having better lightning, I can also improve by being more prepared with editing and memorization.
