Scratch emoticon (Erasing & Drawing Function)

Our ict class has created a scratch project of using drawing function and drawing function. There are 4 sprites in total, scratch man (drawing function), scratch woman (drawing function), eraser (erasing function) and a pencil (drawing function).

First, the Scratch man will draw the grid with x axis and y axis with the back ground. The hardest part of this project was drawing a grid, because the command and the number should be exactly the same, or else grid will add extra lines, or the sprite will run around madly. Also we should minimize the number of the commands by using ‘repeat’ command to receive more points. The importance of a graph is to utilized coordinate specific point which is key point of this project.

Then, the eraser will chase him and erase him then it erases all the back ground too. By that, eraser will not actually erase the grid and background, but will overlap the back ground with white paint.

The sprite will redraw the grid and when the pencil sprite is clicked, it will draw an emoticon with circle eyes. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to draw a circle, by using commands, and a number 360.

Afterward, Scratch man will erase the grid and an emoticon, and redraw the grid for another emoticon. If the Sprite woman is clicked, it will draw an emoticon with square eyes and mouth (Also teeth!).

This scratch project was really fun, and I was desire to work more after school or class. But the only thing I don’t like about this project is it gets frustrating when the commands doesn’t work the way it should be. But this project was really fun and I enjoyed it.

Xtranormal Science project

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

Taking a better photo

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.

Reflection on making grid and erasing fuction (Scratch)

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.

Xtranormal reflection

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.

Animoto Reflection

In this project, our classed used a tool named Animoto which redesign our pictures into very cool design of the video. The video is about our selves, which can be about our hobby, favorite food, sports and stars! It would be so cool if we have used Animoto in our science project. It is very cool!!

Last week…

There was not a much of an incident happened last week. Half of class  was sick, coughing and tired. I was absent too, for few days. And the recent work that I have finished is the song called Spanish lady in Music class. We weren’t that good as to perform the song, since bass and lots of other music player were absent. There were lots of tests, and home works due today, and yesterday.  And there are 2 upcoming test, and I’m never ready for it!!

G.I.JOE-movie reflection

Last Last weekend, my friend and we watched a movie called G.I.Joe, and it was awesome. The movie was about a soldier had a girl friend name Ana, but her brother was dead because of the soldier. The soldier’s girlfriend join a bad team, and they destroy Ana’s memory. Then with cool techs, bad team have succeeded to destroy an Eiffel tower. Then they plan to destroy the whole state, and the G.Joe, the good guy’s force are trying to stop them. The soldier have been captured by a bad force, but his girl friend Ana realized that his brother was not dead, which her brother have intended his death to join bad force with a mad scientist. With a help from Ana, the soldier and Ana escapes from the bad guys forge. Also the soldier’s friend, who is a jet pilot destroys a rocket to destroy the whole state. But the bad team uses their tech to change one of his man to the president.

I loved the basic story of the movie, and cool techs they used. (Especially the armor that worth millions of dollar) Another thing that I liked about this movie, the Korean star Lee-Byung-Hyun, was a main character for bad force, who is rival of snake eye. And I can’t wait to see next episode of G.I.Joe.
