Cracking the Code

 I think everybody should learn to code. I think this because coding can open up so many job opportunities. You can create a system that millions might use! Coding is a very important skill to have. If you want to code or not, you should learn it as a backup. Coding is pretty fun when you get the hang of it. If your job is coding, you will love it. The places where you work are unique and creative. There is so much to do if you chose to code!

My first experience of programming was just a week or two ago. I have never even seen code until I stumbled upon it a few days ago. I am very excited to do more programming. I have heard of coding and I have always been dreaming of creating a good game! I hope I will be able to. I hope I learn a lot about coding and am able to do more. Coding sounds exciting and I can not wait to start.

 If I could design any program or game, I would create a survival game with such good graphics you would swear it was real! You have to survive, find other humans, and create a city! My game would be awesome! I would create more games after that, and more and more! My first game will be a simple game, and then I will move on to harder things to create, such as my dream game.

These are screenshots of the code lessons I took and my certificate for finishing. 

My Humorous Monologue

I have learned so much from my comedy joke project! I learned to keep trying, even if some things were distracting (which they were). I learned how to write a good joke. I learned what b-roll is (added visuals shown while there is speaking in another clip). I had to be responsible in this project because I had to sign out a camera to film my b-roll and I must take care of that camera. I also had to return the camera the next morning, at least in the shape I got the camera. This project helped me to understand time management, because of the deadline.

Their is something in filming called padding. This is a strategy you use for filming. You say rolling when you hit the record button, wait 3 seconds, then say action. That is the beginning part of padding. In the end, you say cut, then count to 3 in your head, then stop recording. This strategy is very useful because it usually take 3 seconds for the camera to actually start and stop recording. You need to use it so that some of your video is not cut off. You can always cut the "action" and "cut" parts. That is padding and why it is useful.

My weakness in this project was the special effects. Every time I added transitions, my visuals went all over the place. At one point, I had to start editing all over again! I think editing was somehow also my strength (not the special effects included). I was one of the first people to put in my visuals. Although it was tough, I handled it well. I could improve by figuring out how to organize better. My visuals at first were all in the wrong spots. I should have organized them better and it would have been easier. That was my weakness, strength, and my ways to improve on this project.
