My Year in GCT






 



This year I learned many new skills and techniques that deals with the camera and also the computers/macs. I learned how to take pictures with a different perspective. I got to learn how to work a camera and what all settings did to each photo. Editing photos were also really fun but also tricky at the same time because you had to edit your photo a way that wouldn't take away from the original photo. Another thing I learned in this class was to make a movie on the macs. I had no idea how to really work a mac until I got to actually use one. At first, using iMovie was a pain in the butt because I had no idea what to do but I eventually got the hang of it. Making movies was probably one of the best things I learned in this class

Gem Magnaye's MLK Speech



















http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Martin_Luther_King_-_March_on_Washington.jpg



1. The message that Martin Luther King was trying to get across was freedom. Allowing black Americans to be free. He wanted everyone to live in a world as one, with the same rights and opportunities. 

2. The changes I made on my presentation were font, size, color, size and contrast.

3. I will use fonts creatively in the future if I am trying to create a PowerPoint or an assignment similar to this one.

4. The most difficult part of this assignment was making sure that every time I converted the presentation to a movie that it would have the audio with it. 

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

6. I thought this speech was a really long speech and I thought it would take a long time to finish, so I would've chosen a smaller speech or re-create a part of the speech but overall it was a fun project.

Gem's Photoshop Elements

This project was pretty fun. I enjoy playing with photo shop and finding out new tricks and ideas on how to edit photos. It was neat looking at the difference once you edit your photo. I hope we do this again.

Gem and Mae's Final Stop Motion: Pacman

Rough Draft:
 

Final Draft:
 

This is Mae and I's rough and final draft of our stop motion. One thing that we noticed was that the picture we took somewhat got cut off in the software we were using which was Windows Live Movie Maker. So we weren't able to fix that problem in our Final Draft. We also didn't know how to add music in our movie but we finally remembered how and added a type of music that seemed to fit in with our stop motion. One thing that I would like to change if we got the chance to is to be able to show the full picture and also making sure that our lighting was constant in every picture we took. We also realized that once the pacman eats the big yellow thing (pellet) all the ghost would turn blue but as you can see we weren't able to change that in our final draft. Other than that, I think Mae and I did a good job knowing that we took a good 5-6 hours planning and actually creating our stop motion. We hope you enjoy :)

Gem and Mae's Stop Motion: Pacman



This is Mae and I's stop motion video. We chose to do pacman as our subject. Although we had some difficulties trying to keep the camera steady, I think we did a pretty good job. It took us 6 hours to do but it was all worth it. Hope you enjoy!
