As this year is quickly coming to an end, looking back to the beginning of the year only seems fair. I've gained skills and knowledge that I wouldn't have expected I would be decent at. Taking my own pictures and having people comment on it has allowed me to work with it and make them better. Learning how to use Photoshop Elements and editing our photos was one of my favorites because we could play with it and make it our own and as unique as possible. When the video part of the year came in, I wasn't as excited but it proved to be very entertaining (stressful and slightly irritating at times, no doubt) and fun enough to do and film the things. The athletic video was pretty fun to make because we used almost everything like picture in picture and snap to beat. This class was my first choice last year and I am eternally grateful that I got to spend my last year doing things that flourished my creative side.

Reflection:
1) The message in MLK's speech is to grant and accept racial equality. The slide that was most important to me is the part where he us talking about the faith and that with it, they could work together, knowing that they will be free one day.
2) The creative uses of font that I did in this presentation was choosing the right font to go with the whole thing and what he was saying. Another is when I made certain words bigger or smaller and added colour to them to emphasize the most important words. I also played with the spacing in some slides and combined colours, fonts and sizes to display contrast.
3) I will use this advantage and knowledge of using fonts creatively when I need to do a power point for either work or school, and be able to get a good response from the audience.
4) The most difficult part of this process was editing the fonts and the colours because it was pretty time consuming, to say the least.
5) I ended up converting this a different way than we were supposed to because I had to have the 2010 version but instead I have the 2007 one at home. What I did was, I saved the power point slides as images (jpeg) and put them into movie maker. I then added the audio and started to adjust the time of each picture so it was in sync with it. After I was done, I just published it after it finished converting.
6) I guess I wouldn't really change the assignment because it was pretty easy overall even if it's time consuming.

This is Emerald and mine's final stop motion animation. We just fixed the amount of time on some of the pages that you had to read, so you would know what we were doing. Other than that, we didn't do too much to change our stop motion. I really like how it turned out, since we weren't actually sure if it was going to go as we wanted it to but I'm really happy about it now. We didn't have that much trouble putting this together because we just used things that we could find in my house. We called it 'How To Be An Explorer of the World', because it's the name of the book we used. It basically consists of us doing activities from the book, including having to take a walk and finding things, or collecting ignored household items.

This is mine and Faith's first stop motion draft. We called it 'How To Be An Explorer of the World', because it's the name of the book we used. It basically consists of us doing activities from the book, including having to take a walk and finding things, or collecting ignored household items. We've made some errors, like at some parts it's too fast whereas you'd have to pause to read the words written in the book to know what we're doing. Our stop motion can surely be made better, but here's what we have.

This is my first stop motion animation. I used colored pencil crayons for this project and I made them move to meet in the middle and after they were put back in the box. I took about 40 photos in order to get the result I wanted. After I finished with my photos, I put them all together in Windows Movie Maker. I think I did good in moving the crayons enough so that it didn't skip when I put them all together. Another thing I did good in was I wasn't moving the camera too much so it all kind of fits together. For the next stop motion we are doing, I would make the lighting better and the same for all the photos so it's not different. I think I did okay for this first one and I would probably do better for the next one.
