Cracking the Code

Hi everyone! In GT (Gifted and Talented) we are currently learning code, also known as programming! I really believe that programming is a very important skill, it offers many good jobs, or sometimes, very hooked up Headquarters. Truthfully, I think that everyone should learn at least the basics of coding, as it will be able to unlock doors that you can never imagine. Such as game creating, better jobs, looking good in front of the community, heh.

 

My first experience with coding was on Code.org, (the angry bird level) in GT. It was quite difficult learning the functions, such as repeat and move forward. The first time I saw a repeat function, I didn't use it, I just kept placing forward, then turn left, then forward. Coding is really hard to learn, it just takes a lot of practice. I mean, A LOT, as well amounts of determination.

If I could design any type of game, I would create a medieval game, where you can connect with other players, and battle your way to become the king. This game will allow you to move your character with the same aspects of a simulator. As well allow you to build your fortress and conquer other players. There also will be computer controlled thief's and raiders, in which you can capture, question, loot, execute, and so much more! If not obvious, you can be easily conquered and owned, meaning it is common you will lose, then gain, then lose once more.

My Humorous Monologue

  What's up everyone?! This week for GT we will be editing our humorous video, our goal? To get the whole class to laugh! From this project, I have learned a lot of interesting techniques, as well guidelines for shooting the best quality video you are able to! Such as the Rule of Thirds, keeping your shots away from shaking, even getting a crystal clear narration! I even learned how to handle a camera, as well fiddling with its (very expensive) memory card! That feeling when you can't get it out of the computer..Heh. Plus, I had a good run learning about the deadly powers of a deadline. Especially when you procrastinate it to the last few days! Not a good feeling, not at all.

  Pad is extra amount of footage in a video always included in the beginning and the ending. Some may ask, "Dose that not make it harder to edit?". My answer is simply no, Pad enforces the thought that you did not cut off any words when you stopped recording. For example, lets say you were shooting a video and you wanted to say "Hello everyone! I'm Bob.", Pad makes sure your narration doesn't become this: "Ello everyone! I'm Bo"

In the making of this video, I believe the only strengths I had was past experience of using a camera and editing, as well having fun! Plus, I had good friends, who were willing to help me film the video. However, I do have a big difficulty of procrastinating, plus, sometimes I'm lazy. The only way to improve is just to have fun with it, and get it done quickly, so your clips don't seem rushed and incomplete!
