Tran's My Year in GCT

Martin Luther King Speech



Very first Stop Motion



2nd Stop Motion (Magic Hands)



Athletic Banquet Video (Senior Basketball)

How I captured Paul Walker somehow.




This year I learned how to actually use a Mac laptop!! Which was a huge accomplishment. I learned how to use the camera manually and how to change the shutter and aperture to take nicer photos. I also learned how to get the lens to open to take in more light and how to use photoshop to make my photos look nice. I actually really enjoyed this class. I loved it when we went outside to take photos. I didnt enjoy having to restart my MLK speech about 5 times though but it was kinda fun.. I especially enjoyed making the videos!

Tran's "I Have A Dream" - Martin Luther King Jr speech

1. The message in MLK's speech was that there should be equality for all god's children. Religion, culture, or the color of your skin shouldn't be a factor on how you treat someone. The most important slide to me was when he starts saying " I have a dream" and states all these dreams of his. 

2. I used all 5 ways of using creative fonts whether that was spacing, to move the letters closer to each other or further apart. Color and size, to emphasize what was more important and to make it stand out. I also used different types of fonts and changed the fonts in certain words to make it also stand out. The last thing I also did was put some words in bold or all capital. 

3. I will probably use this in the future if I ever need to make a powerpoint for one of my classes. I will make it look very nice and interesting to keep my fellow classmates interested. 

4. There was nothing really difficult, just really time consuming and frustrating because I just want to get it done and over with but definitely putting the audio in was difficult especially when you're in 13 minutes and mess up and have to start ALL OVER again.. which I did about 10 times.  

5. What I did to convert a powerpoint into a video was first nag Harbeck which didn't work, then asked Allysa but she couldn't tell me so I used my bestfriend GOOGLE and found this website where it shows you step by step. Heres the link. It was very helpful. 

6. What I would change for this assignment next year is for this to be a partnered assignment where one partner does the first half of the speech and the other does the second half so its not so time consuming. Otherwise than that it was easy, just very frustrating. 

okay bye(:

Jessica T's Photo Elements Assignment

Reflection:

I think this assignment was frustrating at some parts but it turned out pretty well. It was neat to see how much you can change a photo and make it look completely different from the original or you could make it look even better than before. You could do many things to fix your photo to make it look better, I guess thats why so many people use Photoshop! Ive learned a lot from photoshop and know more than I did before. Although it was fun, I hope we don't have to use photoshop again(((:

The Jessica's Stop Motion: The Magic Hands

 

 This is our second stop motion that we did! We took over 400 photos and tried to tell a story about a girl being hungry but looked in the cupboards and found nothing to eat. She then draws out food she wanted to eat and magically turned it from a picture to the REAL thing! She tries it 3 times with 3 different treats she wanted and at the end she was happy and satisfied!(: One thing I think we could have done better was had consist lighting? but we don't really know how it ended up like that..

Jessica T's First Stop Motion

During the process of making my first stop motion I had to plan out my storyboard, then grabbed the items that I needed in order to make it. After I took all of my photos I pieced them together on Windows Movie Maker. The plot of my movie was that Pikachu found a ball but couldn't fit into the crack in order to get it, he then shrinks himself so that he can fit in, get the ball and come back out so he can play with it! Two things I think I did well on was that I had a pretty good story line, it was interesting. Another thing was like the part where he change sizes. One thing I would change for next time is to keep the camera in one spot and not have my hair in the picture.
