Scratch Game Design



It's that time again! The time that I get to show you what I've been working on! These past couple weeks we have been working on coding our very own video game! We started with a simple chase game where we had one or more sprites chasing a sprite. Then we continued on to a Platform game where we had a sprite jumping on platforms towards the goal.

My game starts out on a hill one a clear sunny day, then you go to another point on the hill where it is a little cloudy. The next backdrop is a "drop" where you go down the hill into a desert, then it switches to the desert during the day etc. In my second game the backgrounds also switch, but the first time the background switches is when you touch the pink cloud.  The other thing both of my games have in common is that both of the main sprites, the girl and the reindeer, are trying to complete and objective. Though the objective is different they are pretty similar.  In the first game, the girl is trying to get away from the mice.  In the second game the reindeer is trying to get to the pink cloud.  I'm proud of both of my games, even though I know they are simple and have a couple bugs that I need to fix.

In my first game, the chase game, my best code was probably making the girl move smoother.  When I very first made the game the girl was moving weird and it looked very far from good. In my second game I think my best code was probably that I made the reindeer jump, though the code I used was simple I still think it was the most complicated. When you are making your character jump you need o make sure they don't float and you have to make sure your sprite doesn't jump too high or too low. I started with the block change y by _____ and in the blank space I put 10. It was too little so I increased it but then that was too much.  It was kind of difficult but I finally got the right number! So far with the two games that I have I am pretty proud of my work and the fact that I actually coded that and made that game. Even though I don't think I will ever go into coding I think it is pretty knowledge to know how to do.

Invention Commercial


Throughout the past couple weeks students in Kapa'a Middle School's Gifted and Talented program have been working very hard to invent, write and create a commercial.  You guessed it, it's that time again, the time I get to show you what I've been working on! My team was the same team as I had during my previous project "Composition Scavenger Hunt." My team consisted of Makena and Emma, we are all people who really enjoy having fun and laughing, so our goal was to make the class laugh at our commercial, the funnier it is the more memorable it is.  If it's memorable more people will want to buy our product.  We didn't want it to be too serious, so if you watch our commercial there's some jokes and funny things throughout the commercial.


We got most of our filming done on one rainy Saturday afternoon, and I think one of the best team moments were captured during that afternoon. At the beginning of our commercial there is a part where Emma falls and spills her drink everywhere, she then proceeds to have a funeral for the drink she "lost," in the middle of the funeral I jumped into the shot and yell "is this you?!" Makena proceeds to walk into the shot and is telling the audience that we need help. This shot too us about an hour to film.  The first thing we had to do was create a funeral looking thing. The was some flowers on the fence so we took them and placed them all over the water supply thing that's on the ground.  After we did this we gave Emma water to put on her face to appear as though she was crying.  By this time we were all laughing really hard.  By the time we were able to get a perfect shot of Emma it started raining, and we realized we needed me to jump in! We ran inside and waited for the rain to stop.  When the rain stopped we went back out and set-up again, to make a long story short, I fell a couple times, my head got cut off by the camera, Makena's ace was cut in half, I fell on the floor laughing, Emma laughed till she had real tears streaming down her face.  It was fun, and it was the best part of the commercial. I think it was the best part because we would watch the clip find something to make better and then we filmed it to make it better. We did this over and over again till we got the perfect shot.

After we finished all of our filming, it was time to move on to editing, we all helped with the editing, sitting around with earbuds in our ears. Emma was the person who was physically editing it, she was the one with the pen placing the clips in order. Even though Emma was the one moving the clips around and adding effects we all helped out. We would take a clip and we would all talk about where to put it, what effects should be on it, if we needed text layovers, sound effects, transitions, ect. When we had a final decision that met all the requirements and satisfied the entire team we would move on to the next clip. We all listened to the music and sound effects and chose which ones would  best fit the clip, the entire commercial and what point we were trying to get across. When we were filming, whoever wasn't in the shot was filming and who ever need to be in the shot at that time was doing what they needed to do. Overall I had a lot of fun filming and editing this project, we had a couple misunderstandings, like any team but we dealt with it in a positive way so the outcome of it was positive.

Composition Scavenger Hunt



I think the most important composition technique is probably rule of thirds, I think it's the most important because you can use it for so many different things and it makes the picture a lot more interesting.  For example, you can use rule of thirds when your taking pictures of scenery, it draws the eye to what you want to be seen.  You can also use Rule of Thirds when you are doing an interview or taking pictures of a person.  The Rule of Thirds is much more interesting than a flat angle, when you are taking pictures of a subject directly in front of the subject(s) against a blank wall.

I think macro is one of the more difficult composition techniques to use because you have to get really close to the subject and make it so it's not blurry. I also think it's hard to find things to film using macro because typically when you are filming people or taking pictures you don't want to get extremely close to them.  Also, when your filming nature sometimes you want more than just a macro shot of a flower you want all the scenery, (mountains, valleys, trees, bushes, etc.)

My teammates for this project were Emma McGinnis and Makena Kahananui, we all worked very hard to finish this project in the short time we had.  We each took turns being the subject, talking about the technique and filming.  When we were editing Emma put all the videos together, one of use did the text lay overs and one of us did the music. Over all the three of us worked really well together and had a good time filming and editing this video.  Because we worked so well together, the next upcoming project will be with the three of us so be prepared to see some awesome work!

Cracking the Code



This week at KMS GT classes have started coding, after sitting through a couple class periods trying to code I've learned that there is many jobs that you need to know coding to get the job, or be good at you job.  I think it is pretty important to know coding, especially in todays world where we all rely on technology so much. We use our phones to find information everyday, we use washers and dryers to clean our clothes, we use lights to see everything around us, we use car keys, every single one of these things has code in it to know what you want it to do.  With all these things surrounding us that have code, don't you think it's important to know how to code?  The other reason I have is a lot of jobs need software designers and computer programers, a lot of these spots go "unfilled" because not many people know how to code. 

The first time I coded was in third grade when I was in the schools robotics team.  We had to program the robots to do the missions we wanted them to do.  It was pretty difficult to get it exact, the perfect amount of rotations of the wheels, which side wheel to turn so that it would turn the direction you want it to.  In robotics, we never really called it code, the first time I did it calling it code was in my seventh grade science class.  When I did it in science I never really understood what i was doing, because it wasn't the same thing I was used to.  Even though I didn't understood what I was doing I still thought it was a lot easier.


If I could design any program or game, I would probably design a program where you can take a picture of a textbook or any information you need and it all automatically goes to your brain.  Like photographic memory! The phone or tablet you use some how connects to your brain like a Bluetooth, I don't know if this is actually possible, but let's be honest that would be the coolest thing in the world.  I know you are all thinking, Tessa there's this thing called studying, but let's be real no one can remember everything in the textbooks!

My Humorous Monologue


JensenT_Comedy from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.
For the past couple weeks in Kapa'a Middle School's GT class, kids from sixth grade to eighth grade have been working very hard to memorize and film their comedic monologues.  The long class periods of editing, filming and memorizing have come to an end, the monologues are complete.  Each person takes knowledge away from this project, knowledge of how to edit, film, and use a camera.  Each has made their own mistakes, but I am here to tell you all about what I learned.  I think the most important thing I learned is to not procrastinate so much.  I didn't film my B-roll till the very last day, this made me really stressed out and I was searching high and low for footage to add.  Lucky for me we got extra days to film, but I know that I can't expect that to happen all the time.

Pad is when you add extra time at the beginning and at the end of your clips.  It is important to pad your clips because when you just start right when the camera you're going to cut a lot of your video, clips or sound off.  Also if you don't add pad you are going to have to re-film and no one wants to re-film.  Pad is also really good to have because it's really easy to do and it only takes a couple seconds. Make sure you pad when you are filming, it makes editing and your life ten times easier and way less stressful!

My biggest weakness is I procrastinate way to much and by the end of the project I am stressed and struggling to finish the project.  My strength is editing, I love editing and I think it's pretty easy.  I can improve by trying for the best
not the average.  I think if i tried harder to make it perfect my work would be a lot better.  I really enjoyed this project and I can't wait to do another one like it soon!

Comedy Writing

Having a sense of humor is a very important trait to have because it makes you really fun to be around because you can joke back to someone when they are joking about you.  I also think it's good because you can make people laugh a lot and that makes you really fun and likable.  Having a good sense of humor also makes you a happier and more positive person. When you have a sense of humor it allows you to understand when someone is joking around with you vs. when someone is purposefully teasing you, this will make it so your not overly sensitive when someone is joking with you.

If you decide to be crazy and attempt at writing a humorous narrative here's a few things you should know before you venture off into the unknown! The first is write about something you can relate to, like for example one of my jokes is about school dances, I know about school dances because I've been to a lot of them before. The second tip I have is use your own voice, if you are sarcastic write a sarcastic joke, if you aren't sarcastic write about something else. The third tip I have is to make sure you find your joke funny before you decide to present it in front of an audience. The reason for this is because if you don't find it funny, others may not. Also, if you don't find your joke funny then you won't be able to deliver it properly, if you don't deliver it properly it more than likely won't be very funny.  My fourth tip for you is that you should make sure to be descriptive but not too much that it causes the audience to get bored and stop listening.  I suggest throwing jokes everywhere throughout the story.  For example "I had this really bad day once why don't I tell you about it... Why did the chicken cross the road? So about this really bad day...." Doing something like that will cause the reader or audience to laugh more.  I'm just kidding don't put a joke in the middle of a sentence, but you get the idea of it. My fifth and final suggestion for you is that you have the biggest joke, with the biggest laugh at the very end, that way you can lead up to it the whole story.

I have two comedic monologues, the first one is "When I was little I watched a lot of Disney channel movies and every single one of them made school dances look absolutely amazing, but now that I’m in eighth grade they’re really not all they were cut out to be, it’s really just people sitting around eating and listening to music. Like isn’t that what you all do at home? Why would you leave the comfort of your home to sit on uncomfortable bleachers?" This joke would only be funny to people my age because the generation before us did dance at school dances, but my generation doesn't.  This joke is funny because it's one of those "that is so true," jokes.  My second joke also only appeals to teenagers. "My mom always used to tell me teenagers think they know everything, but they really don’t. Now that I am a teenager I realized she was wrong, I do know everything," this is funny because it's proving that what my mom said is right.

Motivational Poster

For our motivational poster we need to have four pictures.  The first three are pictures that we took of things that symbolize us.  I took a picture of a bush in the desert in front of these big canyons, this picture symbolizes me because I am a small part of a big and beautiful picture.  The second one was a picture of a corner of a path, this symbolizes me because I never know what's going to happen in life but I just keep walking.  My final symbol is of a rainbow,  a rainbow symbolizes me because I can make someones day brighter even after a terrible day.  We also had to include a portrait of ourselves, we had a partner take it and we took theirs.  We wrote manifestos and needed to include those along with personal quotes that we wrote. To make our motivational poster visually appealing we had to kern our words to make it fit the entire page.  Not only that but we needed to have different text and font sizes.  We had a Triadic Color Scheme which is three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel.

The very first step of our first 2015-2016 GT project was to write our own personal quotes, the second step was to write our manifesto.  After we wrote both of those things we copied and pasted those two pieces of text into Photoshop and kerned them so that the text went from one side of the page to the other without any gaps. When we finished kerning we added our four images that we took, three symbols and one portrait of ourselves.  Once we added the images we laid them out so there was no spaces and they all fit nicely.  After adding and adjusting our images we started getting creative and using or triadic color scheme to change the color of the text, to our text we added strokes, bevel and emboss, drop shadows etc.  As soon as we were done adding effects to our text we started with the images.  I individually edited each of my images before adding my effects to all of them.  I saturated each of my images, to make them stand out more. I also adjusted the brightness and contrast of all the photos individually.  I then added the adjustment layer curves to all of my images.    


I think my biggest challenge was trying to get the text to cover the whole page without any gaps.  I think this was my biggest challenge because I was only thinking about having the text one way and I wasn't open to any more ideas.  When I finally found another way to do it I kerned it so there wasn't any more gaps.  The other reason I had trouble with it was because I wanted it to be obvious that there was two separate pieces of text, my manifesto being first and my personal quotes being last. As soon as I figured out a way to make it obvious it was two separate pieces of text (by making the font size and font color different,) I was able to make it look nice and I was able to show the two separate pieces of text.

Personal Manifesto

Hi guys! School's started up again so I'm going to be updating my blog again! My favorite color is a pastel pink or a pastel green. I love to sing and eat spaghetti and pizza. I have been to Disneyland 5 times and I have traveled out of the country before. I have four siblings, two brothers and two sisters and a puppy named Nalu. I am the second oldest right after my older brother, then there's my two sisters and my little brother. I play soccer and dance hula, music is my life and my sanctuary, I love to sing and dance. I am the type of person that laughs easily and is quick to crack a joke. I'm overly confident and I can easily blow off an insult.  I am the person you come to if you  need to laugh or need someone to talk to.

Here is my 2015- 2016 manifesto: Today I will be strong and stand up for what I believe in! I will believe in myself, and no one can bring me down. I am beautiful and strong and no one can tell me otherwise. I will live my life the way I want to not the way someone else wants me to. I will be strong and courageous. I will do my best and try my hardest. I will be kind, I will smile, I will laugh and I will not be afraid to be myself. I will smile at everyone, someone always needs a smile. I will be happy simply because I'm alive. I will be friends with everyone. I will bring someones confidence up today. Today I will be helpful, happy, friendly, kind, supportive and I will believe in myself.

My manifesto applies to my readers because it talks about how you need to be kind to everyone because you never know what they're going through.  My manifesto also talks about how you need to be strong and have the courage to stand up for what you believe in.  It talks about how you need to believe in yourself and be hard working.  It talks about how you need to compliment people and make their day even by a simply smiling.  My manifesto talks about how you need to smile because you're alive.  I think my manifesto can apply to everyone because everyone can be helpful, happy, friendly, kind and supportive, and they can believe in themselves.

Music Videos Rock!




My team consists of Tu and Meagan, I have worked with both of them on previous projects.  We all contribute something to the production of the music video.  Meagan was the person that chose the song she's also the person who films most of the music video.  Meagan is also my best friend that I get in a fight with at the very beginning of the story.  Tu is the person I go to when I need a friend, she becomes my new best friend.  I am the main editor and the main character in the story.  At the beginning of our story Meagan and I get into a fight, I then find a new friend but "the end of the world" is coming and I want to spend the last little time with both of my best friends. Towards the end of the story we begin to make up but not everything is working out, in the end we all become friends.

I think the audience will probably enjoy the part where Meagan and I fight the most because it's really funny. When Meagan and I fight it's supposed to be serious but both of us are trying to keep a straight face and it' really funny to watch. I think they will also really enjoy watching the bloopers, they are pretty funny.  I also think people will enjoy our story because it is very relatable, everyone get's into fights with friends for doing something they regret.

We used photoshop and created a poster for our song, we also used all the knowledge we have about the rule of thirds and other types of things you need to know for filming.  We also used the knowledge we have about how to use the cameras safely without hurting the cameras.  I think one of the most important things I learned in this class this year is how to work with people better and how to develop strong friendships, I think this was used a lot in this project!

Lyrical Livelihood

Music is a huge part of my life, it's where I go when I'm upset,  it's where I go for comfort, it's where I go when I'm happy, and it's where I go when I'm excited.  My favorite song is "I'm Your Angel", by Celine Dion, the instrumental part of the song is amazing but the lyrics touch you in a way that's indescribable.  The song talks about how there is someone there for you no matter how far you think they are.  My favorite part in the song is when she sings "I'll be your cloud up in the sky, I'll be your shoulder when you cry, I'll hear your voices when you call me I am your angel, no matter how far you are I'm near it makes no difference who you are I am your angel."  This song is amazing, I also really like "Human" by Christina Perry.

Ariana Grande is one of our favorite singers so we all wanted to do a song by her, we also wanted to do a popular song.  My team picked "One Last Time" by Ariana Grande, we chose this song because it's a popular song by an artist we all enjoy listening to.  I really enjoy listening to this song and I am beyond excited to work on this project! I think this project is going to be the best we've done this year.

Our song is talking about a girl who lies to her boyfriend and realizes her fault, she wants to spend one last day with him.  We are going to make the story about a girl that gets into an argument with one of her friends.  She finds a new friend but it's the "end of the world" and she wants to spend her last days with both of her friends, they make up and all three of them become friends.  Every thing turns out fine and they are all really happy!

Our Animation Story




Our story is about a girl named Tu who get's cyber bullied, she begins to get very sad and depressed. Her friends begin to notice and ask her what's wrong, she tells one of them and she starts to feel a little happier. The cyber bully continues to cyber bully her but eventually her and her friends find out who the cyber bully is and tell him to stop and he stops. Our focus statement is "Cyber bully affects Tu" this tells our story very clearly I think.

I think our audience will learn that it's better to tell someone if you are getting cyber bullied. I think they will get this message because when Tu tells her friend she is a lot happier and feels better. When the bully confronts her again, Tu is able to stand up for herself, the bully eventually stops bullying her. I think our audience will also learn that they are perfect the way they are and to not let other people get to you.  I think they will learn this because in the end the bully tells Tu that she's ugly.  Tu tells him that she doesn't care what he thinks and that she's happy with being herself.



I think the worst moment with my team was probably when we were filming, we just started filming without actually doing the storyboard. Not doing the story board made it hard to figure out what to film and how to lay it out.  I think the best moment our team had was when we turned the project in fully completed and looking very nice.

Animation Outtakes

In my team I have Dylan, Tyler, Leilia, and Tu, we are telling Tu's story about her being cyber bullied. Dylan is amazing at poetry and is a very hard worker. Tyler is also a very hard worker but make everything a lot more fun. Leilia is funny and extremely fun to be around she tries as hard as she can and the end result is usually pretty great! Tu is a very fun person to be around, she is always smiling and she is extremely photogenic and she's really pretty!
\
Stop-motion is a type of animation that makes a set of images look as if they're moving. GIF means Graphics Interchange Format, this is another type of animation.  These animations are usually drawings and many animators use them.  Animators typically start by learning the bouncing ball like what I have made here:


We are telling Tu's story about when she was cyber bullied, cyber bullying is probably one of the greatest problems for kids in middle school and high school, Cyber bullying could be a simple accident, you could read or misinterpret a text message very easily! People all around the world are committing suicide because of cyber bullying and we just want to send the message out there that you need to talk to someone and that you should be careful when you are texting.

Typography Images

Typography is the style and appearance you make your words or text.  Typography is also like kerning, arranging the space between the words or letters in a text.  When your kerning you can also make the words curved up like a smile, or down like a rainbow.  When you are using typography it make an impact because, it can describe a person to you using only a few words instead of using a lot of words that you a lot of times don't understand.  Also when you  are creating a typography portrait it makes the picture look a lot more interesting, especially when you take the colors from the image and use it in the words, making the words look like they are part of you.

I think my biggest challenge during this project was having no help, I think I lean on people too much.  I'm also not very good at reading a tutorial then trying to do that.  I had to read the tutorial over and over again till I finally got it.  Once I figured out what the tutorial was saying it was actually really easy to do.  I know that when we do another one of these projects I will get it better.  The other problem I had was making it so that their was less mid tones and more shadows and highlights.  It took a long time to get it right and make it so that you can see all the features in Mrs. Sampels face.  




The first typography we did was of an innovator, I chose Marissa Mayer, she was the first woman to ever work for Google.  I don't really like this image, because you can't really see her face and it just words on a black background.  The second typography picture we did was of a teacher of our choice.  I chose Mrs. Sampels, my social studies teacher.  We had to talk to them and get the words to put on the picture.  I like this one a lot better because it's really colorful and you can see the words better.  This project was hard, but I like the final product so I might try to make another one soon.

Double Exposed Portraits

A portrait is a picture is a picture of someone, these pictures include both eyes and their entire face.  Portrait pictures can show your mood, personality and you can show expression.  A profile picture is the side view of someones face, one eye instead of two.  Silhouetting is a profile picture but its completely black and you can't see certain features on the face.  Profile pictures and silhouetting are similar to portrait pictures because, either way you can still tell what the person looks like or a sense of what they look like.  For example, you can tell if they have a big nose or a smaller nose, you can tell if they have a pointy nose or a rounder nose.  You can also tell how long their hair is or have a sense of what their hair looks like.

When you are creating a double exposure picture, you have to go File > Script > Load Files Into Stack. Then you choose the three pictures you want to use, the profile and the two images that you want to add.  When you open the photo's in photoshop you have to use the dodge tool outline then profile picture you're using.  When the entire background is white crop your image to the size you want, (8.5 " x 11") then change the profile picture's blend mode to screen.  Change the other images blend mode to one that you think looks cool, or what you want it to look like.  Move and size your picture till it's the way you want.  Add adjustment layers and explore to find what you want! I think these Double Exposure picture are really cool! You can also put anything you want in your profile, so you can put things that symbolize you.


I love reading and writing, so I took a picture of words.  I also talk a lot and I'm a very social person so that's also what the words mean. I'm generally a very happy person and I feel like the sun is a good representation of happiness.  I also love the colors yellow and orange, because of their brightness.  I think I could have made the words so you could see them a little better and made them have meaning instead of just words.  Other than that this image is exactly what I wanted for my Multi Exposure picture. I also cut my nose off a little when I was using the dodge tool. I loved this project and I know that I will do another one as soon as I can!

HDR Photography

HDR Photography is when you take a series of pictures from low exposure to high exposure and combine them together to make the colors prettier and more vibrant.  It also makes the bright spots and dark spots stick out more.  I like HDR photography because it makes the pictures really detailed and it makes the colors really nice.  I don't like how we can't have lots of movement otherwise there's ghost's when you merge them.  I also don't like how sometimes HDR pictures look really fake and they sometimes look like paintings not pictures.

You create and HDR images by taking an image from low exposure to high exposure.  You have to make sure not to move the camera otherwise it won't align with the other pictures.  After you take the series of picture and it is what you want it to look like.  Open Photoshop (that is what my class and I use.)  When you open Photoshop go to file > automate > merge to HDR, select the series of photo's you want to use. Then you can customize the photo till it looks like what you imagined it to look like.  This is different from automatic HDR functions, like you can find on your smartphone, because you get to adjust the settings and create the picture you wanted.  When you take a picture on your smartphone and you have the camera set to HDR, it spits out and image. A lot of times when my phone spits out an image it doesn't look like what I want it to look like.  So, I prefer taking a series of picture and adjusting it because when I take the photograph I have this image in my head and most of the time I can make the picture look like that by adjusting the settings.

When I was taking the experiment picture of my sister, I didn't want to do it on a blank wall.  I decided to take it on the rock wall near my house, I decided to do it there because there's a lot of interesting things on and around the wall.  There is the ferns coming up from the sides and the wall has a lot of different colors and shapes.  The wall also has moss growing on it which  makes the wall look more interesting.  When I was taking my landscape I wanted to have more of the foreground, but there was a fence and I didn't really want to fence in my shot.  So i moved the camera up so that it still had lots of the field but you couldn't see the fence.  When I was editing my landscape picture, I noticed the cows moved a lot and it took me a while to make it look the way it looks now.  I think I could have tried harder on the rule of thirds and placed the mountain in one of those cross hairs. I also could've thought more about rule if thirds when I was taking the portrait of my sister and made her facial expression something more interesting then a smile.

Movie Trailer Critique


We were asked to create a movie trailer, this movie trailer could be from a movie we have seen or we could create our own.  My group and I created our own, it's about a girl who goes missing when she finds a picture of a ghost. This girls name is Annabelle, her best friend, Julie, goes out to find her. I wasn't the only one who worked on this project, my group also consisted of Meagan and Cara.  I was the voice actor,  I wrote the synopsis as well.  I also played Julie, Annabelle's best friend who goes to find her when she goes missing.  Me and Cara also filmed most of the scenes that take place in school, while Meagan edited them to make sure we had all the requirements.


We were required to have special effects, a movie trailer poster with all of the requirements, at least five scenes, a voice acting script that was well rehearsed, text lay overs, music, foley and it had to be appropriate for kids in first grade. Our movie trailer was also supposed to be 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. We completed all the requirements, we had lots of effects that we used to make it scarier and have more of a ghost theme. We also all made a poster and then we chose which which one we wanted on our trailer. We chose Meagan's, hers had all the requirements. We had a lot more then five scenes, and we had a voice acting script, that was done by me. We had footsteps on the scenes where we were running away from something or to something. Our trailer was appropriate for the audience, but I think we could've done better.

Our class voted us mostly satisfactory, I agree with my class. I think we could have done better and made it so that the plot was more clear than it is in our trailer. I also feel like we repeated the same scene over and over again just in different places. We had a lot of running, whether it was a shot of the feet or a shot of them running from far away. We also had a lot of scenes of the picture blowing away. I think we could've had one scene of the picture blowing away then have like blacked out or something. I also feel like we could have done a little better with the audience we were making the trailers for. I think we could have made a movie trailer that first grade kids wouldn't be scared of, or something they would have enjoyed. Other than theses things I think we did a pretty good job, I enjoyed making this movie trailer.
