end of lab

and spectrums of the stars giving us more information about the stars formation and what there atoms look like.

6) When an electron absorbs energy it jumps to a higher quantum, which then causes the electron to spin/move faster through out the energy level. When an electron releases energy it would fall into the lower quantum that then cause the electron to move slower not rotating as fast.

7) This statement means that each element has its own configuration of spectral lines, no two elements are exactly identical. When recording the spectral lines of an element these lines will be completely unique to this element. The spectral line could also be used to identify elements if the know configuration was known.

8) a. Fireworks create a variety of different color when exploding because of the gases being heated and emitting light. When the materials used to create fireworks are heated within their cylinder cover they begin to create light, which then explodes, and the contents go everywhere, displaying the light.
b. Some of the compounds that could be used to create specific firework colors could be xenon to create a blue, neon for a bright orange, chlorine for a light purple. Some of the difficulties that could arise would be that the elements may not react well together, it wouldn’t work. Or the light may not last enough time, burn out to quick.

E-CARD REFLECTION

what i liked.
what i liked about my e-card was the begining. i like the fisrt three scenes the best. i like the first one ( the face) because i think it is interesting and creative, it make you look at the card and pay attention to it more. i also like the second one (buildings, hospital) because i like how the buildings are crooked, they are all mishaped or slanted. it gives and interesting appeal to the scene, also with the adiition of the ambulance going across the screen it allows your eyes to move around the page. and lastly i like the hall because again the doors were slightly slanted and looked different than an average door, it just added somthing you don't see everyday.

what i didn't like.
what i didn't like about my e-card were mainly the cartoons and the sound. the cartoon people didn't look as if i wanted, they were boring and anybody could of done them, i wish they were interesting and each their own individual instead of looking identical to the ones in the other room. i didn't like the sounds because i only had it in one area of the card. i wish i could of used a real ambulance siren as well as add music throughout the entire e-card.

what i would change with more time and material.
if i had more time while making my e-card i would add more sounds, have music playing throughout the entire clip. i would also try to make the characters on the card more realistic or just better cartoons. if they were all completly different and in different rooms i think it would be better. i would try to connect the begining to the end better, the begining has different colours and types of shapes (the face, the buildings) where as the hospital rooms are completly different, i would just want to change them so they flow together better.

yearbook

Front cover:
Dedication page:



Art page:



Drama page:




Back cover:



Reflection:

FRONT COVER:
what i like.
i like how the cover is a locker and has pictures of events happening in their school as photo's. i also like how the yearbook can be personalized with the students name on the report card, and how the year is displayed on a sticky note. i just think they are interesting ideas, and different.

what i don't like.
what i don't like about the front cover is the pictures i used. i couldn't really find any good picture of shhs students doing something so i had to use the world record ruin instead. i would of like to add something that looks like the people are having fun with ex. game, sports.

what i would change with more time and material.


what i would change would be the photo's and i would also add more detail to the things in the locker like putting a subject or words on the book in the locker, or changing the colour of the locker to our school colour.

DEDICATION PAGE:
what i like.
i like the idea of having the book with the photos of the students there, it shows students who will graduate and students who will be returning mixed with future students, this shows the reason for the yearbook, because without the students there would be no school, and with no school there would be no yearbook. so i think they deserve the dedication.

what i don't like.
i don't like how the page is boring and uninteresting, it needs more colour or pictures, just something to brighten it up a little. i also don't like how the pictures are so big, i wish there were smaller ones that i could put everywhere over the page.

what i would change with more time and material.
i would use more pictures that better show the students, add brighter colours so that the page becomes more appealing to the eye. i wish i could have found better pictures of students who acually attened sacred heart high school rather than just random people off the internet. i would just like the page to have more on it, and to look more interesting.


ART PAGE:
what i like.
this is my favourite page out of the five, i like it because it shows the artwork in a different way and is just interesting to look at. it makes it look as though there are pieces of artwork piled up on the desk. i just like this page and i thought it was a creative idea.

what i don't like.
there is nothing specific that i don't like about my art page, if anything i would just like to add more pictures and artwork to the page. have more space or just make the other images smaller so more could fit.

what i would change with moretime and material.
if i could change anything i would just spend times making lines more accurate and matching colours better, i would add more artwork and just put more detail towards the page, just fix the small mistakes.


DRAMA PAGE:
what i like.
what i like about my drama page is the fact that it is on a buliton board and the pictures are in frames like polaroid pictures. thisshows the pictures in a new way and makes them stand out more than if they were just placed there.

what i don't like.
what i don't like about the drama page is that it is kind of boring. drama is suppose to be fun and exciting and i think if i had used different colours or mabey added more excitment it would look better and more interesting.

what i would change with more time and material.


what i would change if i had more time and material would be i would like to use pictures of people from our school and i would also change the colours just to make the page stand out more. i would try to add more just to make the page look better and more interesting, would want to make it so peopole would be interesting in reading and looking at it.

BACK COVER:
what i like.
i like the idea of how the information is displayed on the phone like a message. it makes it interesting, and your eye is drawn there. i also like the bright colours used, i think they work well together and look good.

what i don't like.
what i don't like about the back cover is how it doesn't really tie in with the cover. they are different colours and have different objects on them. i would just like the cover and back to be more similar, and be more cohesive.

what i would change with more time and material.
what i would change with more time and material would be to make the cover and back more unified. i would also mabey use other pictures such as like a closed locker just to tie in with the front. i also would maybe add more, just to make it more interesting.

picture/lyrics







what i like about my pictures?
they are unique and creative, and show a different idea in each of the photos. it creates the feeling of being abandoned and alone. it looks broken and runned down, where no one has lived in while, just what i wanted to show through the photos. i think that the lyrics fit the picture.
what i don't like about my pictures?
i don't like how the are somewhat similar, i wish they would be a bit different, with different fonts and ideas to arrange the photos and add more diffrent images. they could be shown better with brightness and contrast. i would just touch them up to look better.
what i would change with more time/material.
if i had more time and material i would create more ideas, use different pictures and try to make the house look more broken down. i want it to look completely abandoned and unwanted, a house that evryone has forgotten about. i would use different fonts and arrange them in different ways.

Penguin with Igloo- Truspace

What I like About My Picture.
I like how the picture looks like it belongs in the background. The penguin also pops out from the background and draws attention to it rather than the background, it is the focus.Both the penguin and the igloo look 3 dimensional. Everything looks good together.

What I Don't Like About My Picture.
I don't like how the igloo changed shape, the one side is further in than the other, it is not symetrical. I also wish the that the picture was bigger just so you could see it better and clearer. I also don't like how the colour of the igloo and the snow are a bit different it would be better if they were the same.

What I Would Change About My Picture With More Time/Material.
I would add more penguins or something else just to make the space more full. I would adjust the colours so they match and fix the shape of the igloo. I would make the picture bigger so you can see it and just make it look better.

What I Like About My Picture.
I like how the picture flows together, all of the emotions are connected but different at the same time. I also like how i used strong images, ones that get the message across. I also like how some of the images are transparent and you can see the others through. the picture uses different colours and shades, they go from dark to light or light to dark.
What I Don't Like About My Photo.
I don't like how i only used a few emotions, there are so many possibilities and different emotions and i only portrayed a couple. I also don't like how the eye is not as connected as it could be, it could be blended in a bit more, just so it seems like it belongs with the other photos. I also don't like how you cannot really see the teardrops or the puddle, especially because at the begining it was my main focus.
What I Would Change About My Photo.
I would add more photos and show different emotions. I would also make the pictures more cohesive and be blended together better. I would also use smaller pictures so that i could fit more on the page. i would want it to look like one picture not just a bunch of pictures put together.

animation snail vs. pig

REFLECTION:

1. What do i like about my video?

I like the story of the snail and the pig and how the pig runs into the pole at the end. I also like the characters and how they look/move. The video is different and you don't know what will happen during it.

2. What do i not like about my video?

I don't like how the characters faces change as the animation plays, I also don't like how some of the lines on the outside were cut off by the scanner. I think i could have made some parts faster and other slower just to make the story flow more.

3. What would i change about my video if i made it again?

I would change some of the characters looks just make them all look the same througout the video,(facial expressions, and movements)I would also make it longer with more action throughout the race maybe someone tripping or falling, or something more interesting happen. I might also introduce more characters and a more detailed track..

my movie review

What do I like about my movie?


Some of the things I like about my movie are the way the story flows, the sound matches with the actions and it tells a story. I think that it flows well because it is easy to watch and you know what is going on.The reason i think the sound matches with the actions are because as soon as a new clip starts the music is starts as well. I think this movie does tell the story of a father losing his child because it shows the sequence in which the baby begins to roll down the hilll and everything in between these actions leading up to the crash and the baby's death.





What do I not like about my movie?


Some of the things that i do not like about my movie are the jumps in between some of the clips, the way the sounds are mostly the same and the length. I think there were too many jumps because there was no transition just one clip to the next, there could of more possibilities with more film. I don't like the way the sounds are the same because i had to use so much of the same sounds just because there were not any others that would fit the story. I also didn't like the length because i feel as though i had to stretch out so many clips just to make it close to minute which made it kind of boring.





What would I change if I had more time/materials?


Some of the things that I would change with more time and materials would be I would add more similar scenes from different movies, I would use more sounds that work better with the movie, and I would also maybe have a slightly different story line. I would add more scenes just to add to the movie and not have it so stretched out with the same scene. I would use sounds that fit better with the movie that help make it more consistant. I may change the movie as well just to add better clips that may develop the storyline and make it easier to understand.
