My Scratch Reflection

9 12 2009

We had to make an animation on Scratch. First, the teacher asked us to draw a grid so i had plenty to do. At the beginning, i drew just four squares by gliding to variables with a pen down, then, i made repeating steps and pointing directions so the object that is drawing the grid is making vertical lines. After wards, i made the horizontal lines with the same steps. This is how you make a grid on scratch.

Next, the teacher gave us  another task, the task was to make a sprite that had an erasing function. Therefore, you have to place a clearing button every time that sprite is clicked.

At that moment, when i finished my second task, i had a third one. The favor was to make a smiley face with circular eyes. I had to make two circles by repeating 360 times of 0.5 steps and turning 1 degree and making a triangle by making the variables so the objects can go to the location i asked for. In addition, to make the smile, i made an upside down triangle without the base by following the same steps as the process to make the nose. This is how you make the smiley face with circular eyes.

Meanwhile, we had too, another favor. It was to make another smiley with square eyes. After pressing the erasing function,  did the same thing, but this time, i had to make two squares. I started off with making the variables with some with the same y axes variables and some have the same x axes variables too. Later, i did the nose by making a half triangle by also putting the variables into the buttons and making a smile (A half circle) so it’s 180 degrees. All in all this how you do a smiley face with two squares.




Making a video on Xtranormal.

When i made my own video, we signed up for an account. After wards,  we could write the script by writing what they would say. Next, we can choose our own animations, look at the camera, camera angles, face expressions, points and sounds just by clicking on their icons. Then, if you want to save it, you click on take five and if you would like to post it on youtube, just click “It’s A Wrap!”

This is my video about what i talked about just right now.




A reflection on making a grid, an erasing function and an drawing function on Scratch

11 11 2009

First, to make a scratch for this, we have to make a grid by using variables for x and y to make it glide where you want it to be.  Next, when you’re done with making a grid, you have to make an eraser sprite so when you click on that sprite, it will erase everything. After wards, after erasing everything, we have to make a drawing sprite, so when we click on it, the sprite will draw a face itself. 2 triangles for eyes, a triangle for the nose, and one big rectangle for the mouth. Later, we create 2 circles into the triangles and make a smile in the rectangle. To do all of these tasks, you have to move steps and do plenty of turning and directions. Then you save up and you’re done.

Animoto reflection

13 10 2009

Animoto is a cool awesome program for making supercoolfragilicious slideshows. For this video, i logged on to my animoto account and uploaded pictures that described me. But first, i added text for the title of my video. Additionaly, to top it all off, i chose the perfect song for the slideshow. I got a crush on you by forrest Lipton. There was all of these types of music like indie rock, rap, hip hop and even 40 top hits. Then I chose the speed of the images so that they don’t move too fast or too slow. Furthermore, when you finish, you click on finalize, the it will make the video for you. After, you will embed by clicking on share at the bottom of the page and you will copy the URL to your blog!! Done, done and done. My thoughts for this type of website are that it’s very useful and we could do many creative things.

The photo is interesting because it looks like words are on our bodies and faces




Rule Of Thirds`

25 09 2009

The rule of thirds is that you have to have the object looking into the picture. Not out. In addition, you have to leave space for the object to move. The best place to position the picture is in the center. rules-of-thirds
Like in this picture, the bee is almost in the center of the picture so we can give space for him.

Reflection of my life

9 09 2009

This past week as been AH-mazing. Many people were sad but i was not. I was happy my own way. I heart 8th grade so much and i had 2 A+ lately. I am very proud of them…. In addition, my Spanish class is a drama class. A lot of people cried and i do not know why. Anyway, for other people, this week was really miserable for them. Furthermore, we have a many projects in 8th grade and the grading is so strict. Like the reading project, we have to read 3 books until October 1st and also we have to give presentation on current events related to our topic we learned. A lot of projects to do!!?!?!?!
