Scratch Game Design


Hi I hope you had a great THANKSGIVING but to get back on track in G.T we have been working on a project were we must design a game were one sprite/character has to chase another character. I was thinking would this game be to hard for others or to easy so I made sure my game was at a medium kinda level. Then I started thinking is this game easy to control. NO! It was not I had to  fix it up so I looked it up and found out how to make my controls move more smoothly. After I thought everything was all good my sister tried out my game and she LOVED it so I knew my game was ready.

My sprites are one a little red character (Sprite 1) and second is a star (star). The star is moving randomly while sprite 1 is chasing it. When you are playing this game you must score 20 points to WIN!!! I wanted my game to be fun not that boring old game so I tried to make everything different and fun. Every 20-10 seconds the background changes and so dose sprite 1s costume. My game also has music because I didn't want my audience to be sitting in plain scilince.  When you get 20 stars the sound changes. My sprite also says something when you began my sprite says "Let's get those stars". Then when you catch the star 20 times it says "you did It". That's the basics of my game. ;)

I would have to say I ran into a few problems and out of those problems my biggest one was getting my sprite to jump ever time I went to make it jump it wouldn't jump or it would just stay in the air and fly around the place. So finally I got it to jump by putting a block that says when start forever if not touching black fall down -2. It was funny because that problem was very easy. Above all those problems were amazing codes like my best code but simple code was making my star move randomly across the screen (in my chase game). I used the block when start forever glide randomly between X -240 to 240 and Y -240 to 240. This made my star move randomly across the screen making it a little bit harder to catch the star.

Invention Commercial

Hi in Gt we have been working on a project were we try to convince our audience they need our product. My team wanted to make a product that would help our world become a better place. So because of pollution our world is coming to an end. So our product helps you find trash so our world can become awesome again. Our goals were kinda high but all in all I think we did a pretty good job. It was kinda funny and it described what are product was so it was a good commercial.


The best team moment was when we were at the beach filming even if Teresa did not show up. We
were at the beach playing around and having fun. It was fun filming because it was supposed to be funny so its was funny when we were filming. To be more exact the best part when we were filming was when Katy (the monster) was chasing us around the beach. The reason why is because when she was chasing us it was really fun and it did not feel like work at all. Just trust me if you ever get chased by a trash monster you will feel how funny and fun it is. You might want to try it sometime its super fun.






My team mates are Katharine Hoesel and Teresa Gonzalez. When we were getting our audio (A-Roll) Katy went home and got a lot of audio. Then at school Katy and I got a few extra A-roll Teresa was out sick that day. Then on Sunday Katy and I got some footage which was really fun we were both laughing our heads off. When me and Katy were filming Katy was a dinosaur and trash monster I also played multiple acts like a cave women and business women and a regular person at the beach. You may be wondering who was filming well Katy's sister actually had to help us with some footage other wise me and Katy did the filming. Then later that week on Tuesday me and Katy edited and turned in the project. When Katy and I were editing we couldn't stop watching it because we added music in the part were Katy was chasing me down the beach and we loved it. We tried very hard to finish it on time I think its a pretty cool video.

Composition Scavenger Hunt


P3T7_Composition_2015 from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.



Hi in Gt we have been doing a project called composition scavenger hunt. To me I think unusual angle is the most important because it draws the eye two the subject. I also think that its is important because it makes you interested with the subject. Unusual angle is not that hard to get so its a simple but cool technique. I think people should use unusual angle when they are taking pictures.

I think the hardest technique is rule of thirds scenery because its hard to get one subject when your looking at scenery. For example when your taking a picture of a forest there is not one subject there is many so you can not use rule of thirds scenery in this picture. Another thing that I think is hard about rule of thirds scenery is that when you do get a picture its hard to make it interesting. For example if you take a picture of a tree in the rule of thirds its not very interesting. I think I should practice this technique even if it is hard. I like this technique but it is kinda hard. So I think everyone should start practicing rule of thirds scenery.

When we were filming I wasn't working by myself most people should know because I wouldn't have have pulled off that amazing work by myself so I will tell you a little bit more about them. There names are Teresa and +Katharine Hoesel  they helped a lot. When we were filming we all did a lot of different stuff like speaking, filming, and acting. When we were editing Katy did music/sound effects +Teresa Gonzalez  did titles and I did transitions. We were all a great help to make this fantastic amazing film. I think that if you work in a team a communicate correctly you can get a lot done.

Cracking the Code

Hi it's Alexis and we have been practicing coding to learn just the basics of coding. Coding is easy to learn so I think everyone should start coding now. First whats coding, coding is directions for your device to follow. I think everyone should a least learn the basics of coding. Why because for almost every job you need to know coding because computers are everywhere now. Coding is simple, fun, and you should learn how to code. These are just a few reasons why you should start coding.

  Hi in are GT class we have been working on coding. My first experience with coding was in GT. It was called 1 hour of coding. It was fun and a challenge we had to get someone to the other thin.it was easy then it got harder. I am exited  for my next challenge of coding. Coding will help us with new inventions and I did the first step.

If I could design any game,program or app I would design a app. What would it look like it would have a heart on top. What would it do well it would help people from live from sickness. You could scan your hand and it will tell you if you if your sick or not. It will tell you why your sick and what you are sick of it will also give you a cure. This will help many people and I think that it can help are society.

My Humorous Monologue


Hey everyone we have been working on a humorous monologue and this is what I have learned. I have learned that B-roll is the clips that you have took and also that in imovie when you have put down your audio you put your B-roll on top. Another thing I have learned is that when you are doing a project like this you need to stay organized. I also learned that when you are recording your monologue you need to have remembered it. I also learned how to use the camera correctly and how to format and import properly.

What's padding? Padding is the time before and after you start talking when taking your A-roll. Why is padding important it's important because without padding you do not have room to edit. How much time should your padding be 2-4 seconds in the begging and end. This will help you make an AMAZING video. Have a great day and make sure you use this information.

Has you know we have been working on a comedic monologue. I have made a few mistakes but I learned from each one. Like how I made some of my images pitch black. Another one is that I kept on messing up my monologue. On the other hand I put my images right were they needed to be. I also fixed my lighting problem. I learned many things like how to stay organized and how to add transitions and other effects in imovie properly i'm happy that i got my video done in time and i think I learned a lot of things from this one project. I think I ended up with a great video.

Comedy Writing



Hey if you want to make a good joke it's best you read this. Humor is an important character trait because if you did not have humor no one will feel relaxed and happy. When you laugh it means your happy and having a good time. People will want to listen to what your saying. Humor will lift up your story from 1 to a million. If you include humor into your writing everyone will be relaxed and will love your video it's all happens with humor.

 A few tips you can use to help you make a good joke is to one be yourself when recording your joke. Two make sure your joke is going to be funny for everyone not just you. My next tip is you should take something in your life and put a spin on it even if its boring at first. Another tip is to not be mean to other people when telling your joke. My last tip is to enjoy yourself and relax or your audience won't feel relaxed.

How did  I come up with my comedic monologue. Well me and my friends Teresa and Coral where in english. Then all of a sudden they started to call me cute and I did not want to be called cute so when that happened I said No! You can not call me cute and they thought it was funny so thats how my joke was born. I think it's funny because my friends think it's funny.Also it should be funny because many people would like to be cute and they would hate to be ugly and its the opposite for me.

Motivational Poster

 Hey we have been working on a motivational poster and I will need 2 text layers one MANIFESTO and another will be your PERSONAL QUOTES. I must have 4 images 3 of them need to be pictures of things that represent me and one portrait picture. When i'm done with that it's time to Design. 1 of the four is Kerning you need to change the text layers so there is no space or holes. 2nd is TRADIC COLOR SCHEME. Tradic color scheme  is 3 different colors that will always be balanced. The 3rd one is BLENDING OPTION for both text layers. Last but not least ADJUSTMENT LAYERS for all image layers. For a perfect grade I must do all 4.

 The step by step process
First I wrote my personal quotes and manifesto an copied it into photoshop. Then I started kerning my personal quotes and manifesto. After that I downloaded my pictures that represent me from google+ to finder and then downloaded it to Photoshop. Then It's time to do my do my tradic color scheme which is changing the look of my personal quotes and manifesto. Finally I need to change the look of my image layers. Then I'm all done.

 What I could have done better. Looking over my motivational poster I think I could have written a little bit more.Another thing I could have done better is my kerning. One more thing is my tradic color scheme I think I could have made it a little bit more colorful other then that I think it is a poster I would hang up on my wall and stay happy.
