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

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.
