Hey guys its me so if you haven't already go check out my games above. So recently we have been experimenting with Scratch coding, and those are the two game I have been working on. It has been really awesome. So the first thing i am going to be talking about is the experience I have had with games and how it affect my game, well first of all my hatred from a buggy game led me to make sure my game wasn't bugging out on my players, I mean who likes a buggy game, nobody right. So one other thing was to make my game completely possible to win cause I just hate it when you just play a game and it is impossible to win.

So in my game designing I didn't want to games to be the same you I design them totally differently by have one kind modern city, the other was designed to be like a colorful future theme. Also i wanted the games to be a different, work differently and overall be unique.

Invention Commercial

Hey guys I am back in this blog post I am going to describe my team’s main goals for this the invention commercial, then I am going to explain our best “team moment” and During post-production editing, who did what & why during production Our teams goal was to exceed the expeditions. We wanted to have a funny while still keeping its interesting and describing factor. Basically the is a list of all the things we wanted.

1. Funny 
2. Still video clips
3. Great audio
4. Interesting 
5. Describes what are product does and why you need it 
6. Entertain the audience 

We did okay on some of the goals but I am not going to lie we did not achieve some of our goals hoped. But overall it came okay and pretty funny! 

So my team overall best team moment was was film. We had a lot of fun doing this, because of all of the mess ups and funny extra scenes were really funny. I think it made our team bond greater cause we all laugh together and shared thought witch was great :)! Our funniest scene was probably the part where we were trying to sing the theme song. We had so many of these clip caused it took us so long to get it perfect, once we got back to our computer it was really fun to watch.

My team was Zephen, Jaesha and I during post-production we had lots of cool ideas. We divided the editing up into 3 sections, editing and trimming of clips, transitions, and audio. In our post-production Jaesha and I did all of the video trimming and Zephen did transitions and audio. During this we had lots of fun and all found out new and more precise ways to do things.

Composition Scavenger Hunt

P2T10_Composition_2015 from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

Hey I am back with another blog post, so lets get started recently in my class we have gone over composition techniques and in this blog post I am going to be talking about which one I think is the most important and why? Which is most difficult? and how people can use it more, and finally I will describe teammates & tell you who did what? So first of all I believe the most important one was is using rule of third I believe this important because it is very common and it difference from a novice and a pro because it show that you don't just get straight center photos instead adding technique.


The most difficult technique to perfect I believe is unusual angles. I believe this because it can either make it look weird or cool it is pretty hard to prefect because you don't always know what is best. But with trial and error you can make something really cool that interest your viewers. Well at least that is what I believe but everyone has their own opinion

My teammates were Zephen Kaneakua, and Jaesha Mata my teammates were helpful and diverse witch lead us with all new cool ideas. Zephen was the actor but he did also swap out and do some editing and filming. Jaesha was the main director. Me Mike Perry did the A-roll and majority of the editing. This was a very fun and educational project and i would love to do something like it again! that is all for today hope you enjoyed

Cracking the Code

Yes, I do think everyone should learn to code because it is only going to help your future. Technology is taking over more and more in our every day lives. It can only help you in any career path. The need for computer scientists will only grow and even if you don't want to be a computer scientist it could still be beneficial. You could use what you know to make a program for your own business. You could use what you know just to make your own personal daily quests quicker and more efficient.

My 1st experience working with code was fantastic. It was very fun, while some were tricky it was very doable with some effort. As I went along with the activity that I did in my class it got harder, but I did get better. My very favorite lesson was level 20 on the hyper link. We got to free styler code witch I really enjoyed. We made cool designs got of coding and had lots of fun.

If I could design and code my own game, I am just saying that before I start that it would awesome maybe the best game ever. Well first of all the major advantage I would have making my game would be that I an a youth so could relate to what the youth population enjoys play. My game would be a surfing game where you control mobile device by moving it side to side and up and down riding and getting barreled like a real life. But this wouldn't be the whole game thy just a part. In my game you can pick any activity that you like such as skating, basketball, surfing like I mentioned

My Humorous Monologue

PerryM_Comedy from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.


My humorous monologue, it was every fun to make and while having all of my fun I also learned some new things. Some of the new things I have learned were what B-roll, what an editing timeline was in imovie and lots of other things such as voice over, what importing media is, imovie events and also what an imovie project is!

So as you have noticed I have made my comedic monologe. During this every fun and important project I have learned a very crucial part of my video's was the pad. Pad is the 1...2...3... seconds before starting your clip and before ending. This is very important beac because se if you don't do this it sounds unpleasant and even sometimes cuts off  little part of your clip, trust me I know this from experience. Well what I am saying is that I had to redo a few of my clips because of this so if you or a friend are planning to this this would be a great tip!

My weakness's on this project were editing and trying to make it perfect. On a couple of my clips you can even see a little part of my A-roll. while this was tricky but I feel next time I can master this because this time I was a novis to imovie and enjoyed it a lot! My strengh's on this project were fliming and getting that perfect aduio. I think this a very crucial but but fairaly for the most part! Well this was my comedic monologe and goodbye till next time.

Comedy Writing

Hey its Mike with my new comedy writing blog and I and going to be talking a little about why sense of humor an important character trait and I will be describing 5 tips for writing a humorous narrative and more over explaining my comedic monologue & why it’s funny. So first thing comes first. Why is sense of humor a important character trait? This is a great and highly asked question that I am about to answer! This is an important character trait because it is just a way to communicate with anyone from old, young, different sex and race. It is ways to start a conversation or just break the ice, everybody likes a good joke!

For writing your Comedic Monologue tips is trick but also fun ! It is a lot of making yourself laugh. some tips for making it I learned form making my own is that you need you have it relate to your audience. You need to make your joke make sense a what I am trying say is that you have to make sure your whole audience understands and not just you . With few adjustments and adds to the joke, it will be top notch. Punctuation is very important. Most of the time punctuation will make your joke. I mean if you are just all tiredly saying it usually won't make sense, you need to hit the punch line and some other things are that you should have your not as funny jokes and your really funny jokes spread out so this way you keep your audience entertained. Also and finally you should not stretch out your jokes. if you do this there will be less laughter.

         My comedic monologue is a list of more shorter jokes. Rather than having a long         
         stretched out joke I believe it is better to have more shorter joke because you have
         a better chance to connect with your audience. My reasoning is that, sat someone doesn't
         like a joke I have prepared this way you can relate with more people you will also be able
         to make more people laugh! My monologue is funny because... wait I can't lie it isn't funny
         it is hilarious. It has vast variety of jokes from cop jokes all the way to jokes about bees!
         Thanks for reading my new blog post and I hoped you enjoyed and that is all for  this time.

 

Motivational Poster

Motivational poster project





Some of the required things for our Motivational poster was our 6 layers in photoshop.2 of were type layers on for our manifesto and an other for our personal quotes. The other 4 layers were images 3 of witch being images describing our self and our final image being a portrait of our self. In our 2 text layers some of the required things are kerning in our text so there are no blank spaces or gaps in the text. The second required thing for the text layers are triadic color scheme (one dominate color with 2 accent colors). The final design requirements are the equal weight distributed in a design and Blending Options on your text layers and Adjustment layers on your 4 Images.My project was very fun and also hard but that is what gave it the challenge and made it interesting! There is how I did my project.

1. Started brain storming my manifesto and personal quotes until I got my excellent manifesto and quotes. 
2. Opened Photoshop and copied and pasted my quote and manifesto into a text box in Photoshop. 
3. I started kerning my text to make it look perfect so their was no white space left on the page.
4. I imported my 3 symbolizing images and my portrait photo in Photoshop. 
5. Then started aliening my photos making sure that there were no more white one the page. 
6. Then I started perfecting my kerning. 
7. Then I adding my triadic color scheme to my text. 
8. After all of my text was looking top notch I stared adding my layer effects. 

My biggest challenge was the kerning of my text. It was hard because kerning was new to me and it took a lot of patience for it to reach perfection. Towards the beginning of the motivational project it was really difficult because I would be in one font and kerning then I would switch to a different font that would mess up the work I have already done . I think I can do this better next time if I don't rushing the kerning because it is really hard and take a lot of precision to make it top notch.
