My Year in GCT



Throughout the entire year I learned many different skills. I learned how to use photoshop and all the cool things that you can do in photoshop. This year, I also learned a lot of different types of shots that you can take with a camera rather than always taking the same old boring landscape or portrait pictures.I learned all the different settings in the camera like how to use shutter speed, aperture and manual mode. While learning about all the settings in a camera, I learned that the longer the time in shutter speed, the more light

Da Silva's MLK Speech

-No Sound


Reflection:

1. The message in MLK's speech is to make freedom and justice a reality, to stop all racism that's happening in this world, and to believe and dream that one day everyone will be free, everyone will get the freedom they deserve. Of the many slides that I have created, the one I think is the most important is when MLK is explaining his dreams and then he says that with this faith, they can work together, pray together, struggle together, jail together, freedom together, and hopefully one day, to be FREE.

2. The creative uses of font that I did in my presentation was I used the 5 tips for better typography which is to changing the font, change the text size when needed, text contrast for example, making some words bold, also changed character and line spacing and the text color.

3. I will use fonts creatively in the future if I may have to do another presentation or an assignment similar to this one.

4. The most difficult part was actually reading the information I had in each slide and either changing the font of words, bolding words that I thought were important, or changing the color of words. Took me at least a month to finish.

5. I converted a PPT into a WMV file by going into powerpoint, clicking "file" which is at the top, going down to "save&send", then "create a movie", and then clicked "create."

6. I might've just choosen a smaller speech so it wouldn't take as long as it took us to finish, but otherwise, it was a good project.

Da Silva's Photoshop Element Assignment


During this assignment, I got to learn a whole lot using Photoshop Elements 10. This was my first time using it, but I guess you can say, I did alright. I didn't know how to use most effects or tools at the beginning but I learned and got the hang out it in the end. Overall, I enjoyed doing this assignment and using Photoshop for the first time.

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 Da Silva's First Stop Motion


During my first stop motion, the first step I had to do was storyboard my information. After storyboarding, I took all the pictures needed and then put them together on IMovie. Two things that I think I did good on, on my first stop motion is that I was able to take all my picture without moving the camera. Another thing I think I did good on was planning out my stop motion so that it flows by smoothly. One thing I would change about my stop motion next time is to maybe make it more interesting and creative. Overall, I think I didn't do too bad for my first one.
