Blog assignment 9A
To reflect on our gaming presentation I think that we had a very unique idea for our video game. Two concepts that I thought that didn't get across to our audience is the leveling up concept of the main character, and the story line of starting out small and taking hormone injections to get bigger and stronger to fight bigger bad guys. The hardest concept to get across to other people, at least to me, are the objectives. To me the objective of the game was easy to figure out and understand but to others i can see how it didn't come across so smoothly. The object of our game was to fight bad guys in every level and at the end of the level you got a hormone injection of steroids which made you bigger and stronger and thus allowing you to fight bigger and stronger enemies until you reach the biggest and strongest boss at the end of the game.
Written Joke Reflection
Our First Video Joke
Our Second Video Joke
To start off the two joke reflections I have to say that I liked both our videos and thought that both of them were very well done. Our first video joke was a star wars parody of sorts. Our second video joke was a silent film like the old Charlie Chapman black and whites. For our first video joke we used the two drivers of the car and how the background went zooming by as they were driving for MOVEMENT. In the second video movement was shown with the back and forth short shots of the two characters on the bikes right before the crash. We used the idea of LINES in the first video by showing the parking lot lines and how they pointed right at the main character. In the second video we used lines by the brick lines in the crash and the before crash scene. SUBCONSCIOUSLY in the first joke you think about the actual star wars movie and try to compare the video joke with the movie. In the second video joke you subconsciously think about the olden days with the no spoken dialog, black and white, the bikes, and the music in the background. The AFFINITY between the two videos was the punch line in the joke about the female saying how she didn't want to drink and would wait for the cops.

Blog assignment 5A
Original Picture
My Cropped Version
The original picture drew my attention because of the colors and how an innocent little owl is just sitting on a book, on a chair. It makes you SUBCONSCIOUSLY wonder why the owl is there, and how it got there in the first place. The owl makes you want to create a story as to how the owl got there and what its story it. It also got me thinking as to what the symbol of the owl in the room was supposed to mean. With the clouds in the background maybe it symbolizes freedom because the owl can fly. Then again it seems to be stuck in a room with a window in the background. I cropped the picture the way I did to draw the viewers attention completely on the owl. Their is no mistaking the owl with the way I framed it. Both SHOTS are wide shots but the original is an extreme wide show showing the environment in which the owl is placed. The LINES for both of the pictures draw the viewers eyes directly to the owl. The chair has the lines which make the owl seem more powerful and the arms of the chair point right to the owl. Even the window and walls create actual lines which also point in the direction of the owl. To CONTRAST the two images the RULE OF THIRDS comes into play. In the original You first look at the window, then your eyes dart quickly to the owl and then you eyes stay there. In my framed picture your eyes have no where to go except straight to the owl and has no where to go after that. The only place you might think about other than the owl is perhaps the chair or the book underneath the owl. I think the artist did not zoom in on the owl like I did to try and make the owl a symbol of freedom with all the clouds in the walls.
