Scratch Game Design

CONTROLS: Use arrow keys to move. In level 1, touch the red square to get to level 2. In level 2, touch the blue square to get to the boss fight. Press space bar to shoot lasers at Randy Orton. Do not touch him! The orange pool in level 2 is deadly lava. WARNING! This game is super hard. Beat the game before the time runs out. Good luck. In level 2, keep hitting the up arrow to sort of glide above the lava. Once you hit the space bar, you can not press any other arrow!




Scratch Chase Game

How to play: Touch red part to score. Do not touch referee or else you will lose points. Use arrow keys to move. Get to ten points to win. 

Experience from playing other games gave me ideas that would really be useful. It made me think of the players and how they should play it.  Therefore, I decided to make easy controls that most people are used to; the arrow keys. I made it so that up is obviously up, left is left, right is right, etc. I made my games moving pretty smooth so that it would not be disappointing. That is how experience helped me create a better game!

My platformer game and my chase game are very different. The two games have two things in common though. First, I customized thew characters in both games. Also, there is an enemy in both of my games. Now the differences. In my platformer game, there is a boss fight. Also in my platformer, there is way more code than my chase game. There are obstacles and time. There is even levels! Those are how my two games are alike and different.

My best code in scratch was definitely in my platformer game. My best code was either my shooting script which was actually simple yet super effective. Also, my levels took a while to code. It was again, simple, yet also effective. My hardest bug fixes was also in my platformer game. I could not figure out how to stand on my platforms. It was very simple, but at that time I did not know much about scratch. That is a wrap of my best code and my hardest code.

                       

Invention Commercial

This is my teams commercial. It took us quite a bit of effort but it was worth it. Hope you enjoy!!!

My teams main goals in our assignment is to make our commercial convincing, entertaining, and unique. We might be able to achieve this because we have funniness in it, which helps with entertainment. We explain pretty clearly what it does, and we have an invention nobody has made. I think we can achieve our goals. Our invention commercial is hopefully top notch!

The best moment my team had while filming was when we were editing the video. We found awesome music for our commercial and added something funny to it. One of my teammates, Treysen, had a part where he had to act all serious to pick up a weight. We played some intense music and then when he picked up the weight, he fell. When he fell, we added a descent noise and added text to say, "Ouch". That is our teams best moment (or at least what I think was) and why it was.

In our commercial, before we went to editing, we had important roles. Max was the camera man, Treysen was the one who did b-roll, and I was the spokesman. We all did somewhat good at our jobs, and our finished project was very good. We were one of the teams who were on the top and finished first, but we still had to edit. In editing, I was in charge of the music, and I think I found pretty good music. Max was in charge of transitions, and Treysen was in charge of sound effects and text. We were quick yet smart about editing, so we were finished fast.

Composition Scavenger Hunt

This is my groups video of composition techniques. Enjoy!

I think that contrast in content is the most important composition technique because it makes the subject really stand out. The definition of contrast in content is in the link. The contrast in content makes the eye notice the subject immediately, from the difference in color. This composition technique will be very useful in a shot where your subject needs to stand out. If you want a natural object to stand out, you should put the object in front of non natural things. For a man-made thing, do the opposite.

I think the most challenging composition technique is leading lines. First, you must find lines in the world that lead to your subject. The lines must end where your subject is. When you finally find leading lines, it will bring the eyes of your audience directly to the subject. Though it is challenging, it is worth it. I can use it much more so I can make a better video. That is the composition technique I think is the most challenging but one of the best.

My teammates in this project were very helpful. We would never have finished if one of us gave up. We all rotated on being the subject, camera man, and the speaker. We finished pretty quick from doing this. My teammates in this project were Treysen, Max, and me. This project was fun, yet challenging. This project really made me think about the composition techniques and I am going to use them in filming projects to come. My teammates are really helpful and nice.

 These are not the techniques I talked about but they are also some of my personal favorites.
