A Creative Story

The kids yelling didn't mean anything

I know they don't know what they're saying 

I know they like my mask, my dear mother made it from scratch 

As I walk down the stairs I exhale with excitement hoping somebody will be as excited as me when 

they see it 

Mom was up late last night fixing every inch so I could wear it by today

This was my first picture, I can show it to papa when he comes back 

hopefully anytime soon because it feels everlasting

Mom! Mom! everyone loved my mask

they wanted to be my friends

they want to hangout with me again

Mom! Mom! I made friends

Mom, thank you.

Keith Carter, a Famous Photographer

Keith Carter is a native Texan. He currently lives with his wife in Beaumont, Texas. He loves his home and enjoys focusing on small little details, revealing quirky and sublime facets of human nature. He never thought he would become a photographer, even though he grew up watching his mother crape by as she herself was a photographer. He found out he wanted to be a photographer until college when capturing an image with his mother, inspiring him to more forward, he even assisted his mother's business all around Texas and to this day he still does.He didn't have any professional training, he did most oh his work on his own, he was able to sneak some books of sculpture and photography, he learned on his own, just experimenting things from place to place. At the age of 25 was afforded the opportunity to access special archives in New York at the Museums of Modern Art for three weeks, there he learned tons of info and was able to make new experimentation's and observations. Ever since he has made Texas his home for Photography, he finds it an exotic land almost becoming an allegory. He focus are small negatives on a single-lens reflex Hasselblad camera. Limited depth of field and blurring are very so incorporated into Carter's work, this highly emphasizes area focusing making it sort of a mystery, Carter has published nine monographs including bones. He has a passion and has contributed any object as a portrait, he himself exclaims “These days I treat everything as a portrait, whether it’s a safety pin hanging from a string in a woman’s bedroom, or a man witching for water in a field. They’re the same.”

Here are some examples of his artwork

Shutter Speed

This article helps and is very specific with knowing how to

Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is basically the amount of time that a camera is open allowing light to come in.
A slow shutter speed can capture more of action in slow motion. A medium shutter speed can capture a lot of the action but also focus on certain areas of the picture, either a focus or blur background. A fast shutter speed usually captures all of the action making it a great focused picture covered in every inch.

Depth of Field Photograph

I love this picture because it shows the perfect scenery of depth in field photography. The blue color pencil stands out from the rest and is in focus while the others are blurred in the background. The bottom of the pencils are shreds of their own. It focuses on every edge and flaw of the pencil.

F stops Article

F Stops in Photograph

https://vimeo.com/blog/post/f-stops-and-aperturey

In this article it is explained highly in depth on how F-Stops work in Photography. Aperture is found to be the mechanism and f-stop the measurement of engagement of mechanism. In the aperture you have control of how much light you like to add. It controls the amount of light it's hitting the picture. The smaller the lens are the larger it is for the picture to be either zoomed out or in with a blur background and concise focus.

Present Game - Natt's Biomolecule Adventure

   The learning topic for my game is Life's Biomolecules. Biomolecules will be presented throughout the game for the player to identify what a Lipid, Carbohydrate, Protein and Nucleic Acid is. The most important thing I want my players to learn is how to identify what biomolecules is which. 

I did random resourceful research. I specially looked at general websites such as SAT Notes. I learned every piece of a biomolecule. What the building blocks of a protein are: amino acids. How monosaccharides and disaccharides are different but both are involved in Carbohydrates. I basically learned the concept of every molecule.

My ideas changed quite a bit as I worked on my game because as I was putting it together new thoughts popped into my head. Maybe I should make it difficult for the player by adding a harder game ingredient. Maybe I shouldn't add a health bar to confuse the player, etc. 

The Game Ingredients that have been the most helpful for me are the following; Background Music, Splash Screen, Relative Mouse Positioning, Parallax Scrolling and Flying Mechanics. They all add up to make the perfect match of entertainment for the player.The game ingredients page on the wiki has been obviously the most resourceful because it tells me step by step how to do something.

The most difficult part for me of making my game was when I got stuck on the very first steps of the game such as the score counter and collecting enemies/collectables. Everything was correct and for some reason my games wasn't working. I worked and checked everything for about 2 weeks and nothing ever happened. I tried my best to figure it out by myself but it was impossible. Until finally I asked my teacher for help. She couldn't take fix it either, we sent it to the globaloria helpdesk but it became worse. I had to start over in a new computer, gladly my teacher helped me with that to get back on track. 

I am most proud of my collectables and enemies because they are graphically designed in Flash. My design is just too science looking and cartoon wise. I love my game and am very proud of myself for it. It's amazing! It has great design for 8th graders to understand Biology wisely.
