Scratch Game Design


User experience has benefited me in many ways. I use it to make my project better and it helps me think about the player. When other users provide me with constructive criticism, it helps me improve my game, and make it better!!!! I love getting help from others because I want to make my game better!


My game has a time and score variable. The time variable is the amount of time that you have to score a score of zero or more, in order to win. The score variable is to either win or lose the game. If you get a score of -15 or less, it will automatically end the game no matter how much time you have remaining. In my next game I think I might switch it up and change my characters. But I might just keep the theme going.
My favorite code game is my platformer because it a little bit more complex. I have numerous levels and the background changes. I also made my monkey move as if it were jumping. This game is more difficult than my chase game I think because the time limit is shorter and you have to move certain ways to jmp onto the platforms and to reach the bananas. I had a lot of fun creating this game because it was quite a challenge!

Invention Commercial





My teams main goal for this project was to persuade the audience that they need track attack, and that it will make their lives easier. I think that we got that message out there, and I hope that we achieved our goal. We made it our goal to persuade the audience that they needed TrackAttack because if they felt that they needed it, they would buy it and that is the object of the game.



 There were so many team moments during the process of making this video. My favorite one was right when we were turning our project into the server file and we were all just so relieved because we didn't think that we would finish in time.I'm really glad we finished in time because now we know that we can accomplish so much in so little time. There were so many funny team moments, but this one was my favorite just because it was at the very end and were all just so happy.

During post production editing, we all had a few jobs. We chose these jobs by who was best at it, so that we would produce the best work that we could. Talia did the majority of the voice overs because we figured that she had the most clear and professional voice. Talia also played the main character and helped with some editing. Lani and I both filmed, I filmed most of the voice overs and she filmed a lot of the actual commercial. Lani also was our main editor because he had most experience with editing. I was speaking in one voice over, and I filmed all of Talia's voice overs. I also filmed a few scenes and helped edit a bit.

Composition Scavenger Hunt



I think that the most important composition technique is rule of thirds. It is important because it makes a video or photo appropriate for almost every shot. Also, you use it for videos, interviews, photos, and almost every other type of image. Another reason rule of thirds is important is to evenly space an image or video.

Rule of Thirds Subject
I think the most important composition technique is rule of thirds subject, because you need it to make an appropriate interview or photo. It can be difficult to nail this technique because you may not know exactly where to place the subject. Another reason it can be hard is because of lighting, background, or distractions that could make the subject, not be the subject anymore.

My favorite technique was contrast in content because it really makes the subject stand out. I think that my team did a good job of shooting this one because it was really focused. Also, the shot includes my two favorite colors: neon orange, and bright green!


I have two team mates on my team that helped me. My first team mate was Talia Washington, she has black hair, brown eyes, and she is very good at filming and editing. She added a lot of cool special effects, and helped film and edit. My second team mate is Lani Alo, she has brown hair, brown eyes, and she is very tall. Lani filmed certain shots, and helped edit the project. I filmed some of the techniques, and narrated other ones. I also helped create the text layovers and chose the fonts!
