final reflection

The design that I am going to work on Scratch is the storyboard that has the lonely girl in it. The reason that I am going to do it about the lonely girl is because I think loneliness is a big problem in our lives. When people can't find friends or anybody to talk to, they become lonely. When I start making the interactive video on Scratch it will be more interesting and more fun to do.  When I do it on scratch I am going to use the glide feature to make my character glide, making it more interesting. I am also going to change the background to make it clear that the scene has changed. I am also going to make two new characters called May and April. There are going to be sound effects in the background and there are going to be lots of conversations between the 2 characters. The reason that I chose to do this is to raise awareness about loneliness. The project is following through as I expected but I am facing some troubles and obstacles due to the fact that I have never used Scratch before, and am still trying to find my way around it. There are 4 scenes in this story, you can tell that the scene changes when the background changes. This project is original because I came up with it all by myself, and is interesting and important because it is a real life problem and it has happened to my friend before. I have now completed 2 of my scratch programming, I went according to plan, and I have done 1 about my hobby football and one about getting friends and not being lonely. I enjoyed doing it on scratch because i like the way that it was made, you can use it to express or show anything about you or about anything. The things that i found tricky about making the whole program is how to make two characters have a conversation and to get the timing right between each conversation. If i could/would do this project again it will be adding more conclusion and movement into it. In conclusion i enjoyed doing the project and have learnt many things, I had many obstacles in my way, but i have managed to get over them. I could always improve on trying new things and i would love to do this again with more effort and lots more improvements to be made.

scratch reflection (not the final one)

I have finished my second project on scratch. I did this one about football, I did it about football because my hobby is about playing football so I chose something to do with my identity and something that represents me. The characters in this scratch program are called Avery ad Alex. This story also represents me because I was also a type of person to be shy of showing something you like, so I did this to show my story but in an animated form. There was only one background that I used, but I used lots of conversation between 2 characters, I also used movements such as glide. The background was on a football pitch because that is where my story relates to. The starting conversation began when Avery asked Alex if she liked playing football, then Alex said yes and started playing football with him just for fun.  The most thing that I found interesting and fun about this is the fact where I could have many different movements happening at the same time, what I found tricky was the fact where you have to be exact in the timing you use between each conversation I used in the project. If I was going to do this project again I would improve on making new and more interesting things to get a higher mark and add some sound in it to make it look more realistic. In conclusion I found it fun making the scratch program project but it can take a lot of time to get everything right and perfect.
