We started to prep a couple of weeks before the tournament. It was really stressful because my group was with      

I think most of our grouped worked hard to complete our props and script. We made a team contract. I don’t think I can show you it because it is privet but we had to follow the rules that we came up with.

We practiced a couple of times before we presented and I think it went well. I can’t tell you too much about the instant challenge but I can tell you a little bit about how our team did. I think our team did pretty well because we almost got full marks for the challenge. 

Our story: 

We were in the scientific challenge and it was called ‘Worlds Beyond’. We made a story about three space explorers that go to a planet called Trappist 1g. It is a really cold planet with lots of really cool plants. There is also a geyser and when the hot air and water release from the geyser it heats up the ground and lets the plants get nutrients. They have a short time before the ground freezes again. The explorers think that there is no sentient life forms on the planet but they soon find two aliens. They don’t know how to speak English but luckily the explorers made a translator that they can use to understand what the aliens are talking about. The aliens soon want to leave the planet and try to steal the spaceship. They get caught and the explorers ask them why the want to leave. The aliens say that they are really bored and want to see the other planets. The explorers are available to take the alien back to earth. 

Props: 

We all worked on props and I think they look amazing. We spent lots of time and money on painting and cutting out cardboard. We had ideas of what we wanted the plants to look like and they where pretty good compared to our drawings. When we painted all of our plants we needed them to stand so we added little cardboard stands to all of them. That took a little while. But, it was worth the work. We also had to make a backdrop. We wanted it to be simple because the planet we where on was a bland blue planet. 

Reflection:

I think we all tried hard but some of us could have followed the team contract and tried harder and don’t more work instead of leaving it to others. But we got it done in time and it was good. I think I got closer to many of my team members. I will post more about the next tournament and talk more about the instant challenge. We aren’t allowed to talk about the instant challenge until may something. Don’t ask me way because I don’t know but its the rule and I am going to follow them. 

Thanks for reading my post about DI this year I will be adding more content in my next blog post about DI. 

Running a remake! 🏃🏼‍♂️ 🏃🏾‍♀️ 🏃🏻 

Driving question 🚗 

The driving question for this project was

How might we learn video skills by recreating a short film?

About the project.

This was kinda a random project but this year in maker we are working on our filming skills. We got showed a short film that is 1:17 long and we had to make an exact copy of the video. It was kinda complicated because there where lots of parts of this to get the most accurate copy. The short film was a horror film and it was about a guy on a jog. It was a hard thing to accomplish but we did it and I am really proud Of the final draft! Here is the original video:https:

After some helpful critique from our classmates and teachers we had to prepare for the filming day. So we had to make a screen play and a story board. If you don’t know what that is it is like a planning sheet that filming crews can use to help them.

Thanks for reading!!! 📖

WAIT before you move on I want to tell you about my first PLP project. This PLP project was called becoming a PLP learner. The driving question was who am I as a PLP learner. I think this project went really well. I had a lot of fun making it and I will put a link to my YouTube video. This project didn’t take that long like some other ones.

You should totally subscribe! ᕙʕಠᴥಠʔᕗ

Introduction.

My first slide is my introduction on the background I made it on procreate. This was really fun to make. The colours were also hard to find.

Word Pack.

Then it’s my word pack I just put a handful of words that I think describe me. I chose those colours because I think they match my personality, Kind, funny, soft. We did this assignment to learn more about our self and each other and because the words describe us.

I am Photo.

After my word pack its my I am photo. It’s practically just a photo that I took and the activity in the picture is something I enjoy doing. In this particular picture I was with my friends and we were mountain biking together. We did this photo because it describes our interests. I learned from this assessment that there are a lot of different people and similar people in this one room every day.

Settings.

After the I Am photo I have my three most active setting. The first setting is The funny setting. There are multiple pictures in this slide and my favourite picture is the one of me with the bad makeover. That was really fun to do. The second setting is Crazy mode. When I’m in this mode I am REALLY WIRED!!! But a lot of proper like when I’m wired Student mode is my last setting. This setting is often on from Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 3:00 pm. I can malfunction when it’s lunch. We did this assignment so other people can under stand us and can communicate in a way that we will understand. I Learned from this assignment

Pumpkin Man

My pumpkin man. Ints slide is about a pipkin that we hade to do and we had to use an eraser on digital art. With the eraser we had to draw a face and I did the Roblox man face. The face was not really hard to make but it was fun to try to draw. We did this assignment to learn how to use Keynote painting tools and get comfortable with Keynote .I Learned from this assignment that I am actually pretty good at drawing Roblox man faces with an eraser. Also, I think I learned that even if something unexpected happens, you can still finish and get it done on time.

Memoji

The next slide was my Memoji. This was really fun to make because we spent an entire class making a Memoji. If you have ever made one you know it’s really fun. We did this assignment because we needed emojis to express our feelings online and to show our personalities. I Learned from this assignment a lot of people have emojis and them and that there are a lot of different shapes and sizes of everything. You also can’t make you perfectly. Everybody is different.

Conclusion 

In conclusion to answer the driving question Who are you as a PLP learner? I think I am a funny, kind, helpful,  caring master mind in the making. I think the thing that I learned from the most during this project was my Memoji. This is because I made the Memoji and then I added stickers to the lap top to learn more about myself, while using the Keynote app too!
