Xtranormal Science project
Our class have made the xtranormal video on our science project. Enjoy~ It’s about changes of 3 principals of matter.

Avoiding mergers
You can be sure the camera always sees mergers, so look for plain backgrounds before you pose your subject. In this case the correction was simple because the two settings were only a few feet apart.

In this picture, two metal sticks are sticking up from the head. It looks awful, like if you have big horns in the head.
But the picture at right doesn’t have metal stick sticking up from the head, and using metal stick as a prop gave more unique style. (?)
Lines
Lines also play an important role in composition. This sculpture has some beautiful lines, but they’re obscured by the busy background. Let’s simplify this picture by moving our camera viewpoint in close to the base of the sculpture.

The line to the ladder creates curiosity to the top ceiling. The line of the ladder made the eye simple and easy path to follow to the main subject.
Rule of the Third
Before you snap the picture, imagine your picture area divided into thirds both horizontally and vertically. The intersections of these imaginary lines suggest four options for placing the center of interest for good composition. The option you select depends upon the subject and how you would like that subject to be presented.

The foot is placed in one of the 4 position. The object in the center of the picture gives very dull and simple styles. But placing object in either 4 places gives unique style of the object.
Rule of the Third


The picture above looks like the person is trying to run out of the picture. But the nextpicture looks like the person is walking to the picture.

So far, our class learned how to make grid on the scratch, with using unique sprite and unique background. Our class goal was also to reduce the command short as it can, by using “repeat” or “forever”. After we’re done with making graph, our class also made a sprite which will erase the graph. First it was kind of complicated, but after I figured out the tips, it was easy. Then afterwards, in the blank screen, we should put back our original graph, with our sprite drawing happy face. This Scratch project was really cool, and fun. I had better understanding to how to use numbers to make grids.

Our class used the application named extra normal. It is a application to set up the script and settings to make simple movies. We can choose animation and we can set up camera view. The maximum actors in the script can be up to 1 ~
2 people, and the settings were given. We can add sounds and musics to the movie, and the cool part was characters pronounce the words like we wrote in the script. Because I had problems with my log in ID, I couldn’t save the work I have done. After our class is done with introduction, we’re suppose to make movie using our science project script. It was lots of fun.
