Hockney Style joiners



Sup everyone!!! I will be talking about David Hockney's photomontages and my photomontages.
( photomontages are multiple pictures taken of a subject and put together ). This style of photography was made by David Hockney. My photomontages are small compared to some of David Hockney's photomontages, it probably took a lot of work cause he didn't have the technology we have today. So my photomontages were created with upgraded technology. For those reasons I put in my other sentences our ( David Hockney and my self ) photomontages are different in some ways.
( Alexander on sundays )

I think that photos can definitely show positive and some negative messages or feelings. Like if some took a picture of the worlds pollution and where all the garbage is stored that can make me feel ashamed of the trash we make. We can also send a positive message, like a photo of a cute newborn baby can show love.

My photo repersents something important in my life. I picked a computer because without computers I would not be able to make games or write in this blog. the computer also represents technology in my eyes, and many people depend on technology in their lifes

2016 Aspirations


Hey, I'm back we all know that 2016 is a new year so... it's time for new GOALS! I myself have to set goals and I'm gonna share 5 with you guys. My first goal is to get really good grades because I guess I get good grades but I don't get straight A's. Secondly I want to be better at being a steersman in a canoe club I paddle in. The third thing I just though up is to be a nicer person to people and not be a negative person. I would also love to get good news all throughout the year for example I would like to get a letter saying I got into Kamehameha because that would get great news or maybe a letter from my dad on Oahu   (he doesn't have a phone). Last but not least I hope that me and my mom can spend more time together than usually do.

The most important goal for me is the letter from Kamehameha saying I got in. I want to go to Kamehameha because I want to achieve things in life and I think that going to this school will help that dream. I also think that going to Kamehameha will give me a new start in life. This may be my most important goal but it does not mean it's my favorite. My favorite goal is trying to spend more time with my mom.

The steps I will take to accomplish that goal is to first study more!!! Second is to do all of my homework for EVERY class ( which is like 6 classes!!! ). Third is for me to be the very best. Next is for me to listen more in class. LastlyI want to get 100% on all of my tests.

Scratch Game Design


I'm back, in this post I will be telling you about the first game I created. When
I was creating my game I thought about common sense in choosing my sprites
( characters in a game ) and the backdrops. I also got my friends and family to
try my game out and suggest things to make it better.  After that they would say
what I might need to fix.

My first game I created was a chase game. My chase game was easy for me
to make. The second game I made was a Platformer game. This game I had
trouble with. There are many things different about these two games. One
 thing different about the two games are that one game needs gravity. Another
is that they are two different games as you can see already
         
In this paragraph I will be talking about my best code and hardest bug fixes
 . I think my best code from these three games are the codes you need for
walking or moving.

Invention Commercial



Hi people, I will be talking about my teams main goals for our project ( we had to film a commercial for our invention). My teams Invention was called Forget Me Not. Our main goal was to make a commercial that caught the person's attention.Another goal we had was to help people to understand what our project did, how it worked,and to make it seem like the

This paragraph is about our best "team moment". I think our best team moment was when we were filming because we were all included in this commercial. We had so much fun with the filming because when we made a mistake sometimes we thought it was funny.

During our editing we all helped out. Some times we were arguing about it. Tierra moved the scripts around and made it so it looked good.Hailee talked about the plan and where to
organize it. Then I did the some of the  transitions.

Composition Scavenger Hunt





   Hi people, I am going to talk about composition techniques. I think the most important composition technique ( a way of taking pictures ) is flat angle because flat  angle is pictures that are  shot from a distance directly in front of the subject. Usually they have a solid background or wall. I think this compistion technique is the most important because I see it shots alot. Also because

I think that the most difficult composition techniques is leading lines. Some people make mistakes when it comes to leading lines. The mistakes they make is they just go to lines and take the shot but that is not exactly the wa to do it, you have to see were the lines lead your eyes to then put your subject were the line lead to.

My teammates are very helpful. Hailee was the 
person that edited the video and typed anything
hat needed typing. Tiara was the person who helped
thinking about the subjects we should take a picture 
of for our composition.

Cracking the Code


Today I will be talking about coding ( the ability to make,create or program a app that could help every day needs). I think everybody should have the ability to learn how to code They should learn because they could design a program that could help daily problems. Another reason could be that if people knew how to code people would earn more money by just making a simple program that would solve simple daily problems. Some people think only a little amount of people should learn. So only certain people can have those "special abilities". Well I don't want that to happen so please try your best if you want learn how to code

The first experience I had with programing was a lesson we had about coding. I enjoyed the experience of coding, it gave me an idea of what I would like to do in my future. In experience I will tell you programing is very hard you should get use to coding and other things that have to do with coding. I also had a chance to make a game inside a game, when I made the game I was very proud of my self. So I think other people should have the same experience.

If I could design a game program or app I would be trying to make one every day, and I would think of a way to upgrade my ideas everyday.I also had a chance to make a game
inside a game, when I made the game I was
very proud of my self. So I think other people 
should have the same experience.

This is the game i created in the coding game!

My Humorous Monologue

     Hi like you should know by now my class had a class project to create a humorous video,
I have learned mostly about responsibility to sign out a camera do your b-roll by a deadline then returning the camera by the next day and some other responsibilities we had as a class. I have also learned about B-roll (extra footage). Doing a video is hard work with clips because there are so many it's hard to manage, luckily our teacher has taught us to be organized. By being organized you are moving clips to profiles or maybe pictures ect....! I have one last thing to share about what I have learned in this experience it is mistakes if you make mistakes it might be hard to learn because we usually learn from our mistakes I made many mistakes and hope to not make the same mistakes again.

       Padding is a part in a video or scenes that they take out because it takes up to much time in your video. Padding is crucial because if you take up to much time in your video then well it's to long,to escape from your video being to long you take it out. In movies it's usually called deleted scenes.
Another way to describe padding is that it is an part of a scene you really don't need in your movie or video. You may also think why padding might be important it's important because it makes a movie longer when you need it to be long or a certain time length.

   I think I could improve my project by shooting better clips for B-roll. I think my joke was funny but
when i put my video or monolouge in it's not that funny. I think i did a great job in shooting B-roll and i did'nt have dark spots the main problem was maybe the volume, it was soft at first then LOUD.
For my project i got a three totally wrong i thought i was getting a two. I think i was graded a three because i had over thirty seconds of B-roll which was required. I also think i should have gotten a two but i'm glad for my good grade.
