ATL skills

Information Literacy- I have used information literacy skill to apply in my research on a topic that I am doing the scratch video about. Using my research skills I have managed to complete this task after gaining new knowledge on this topic but also on scratch. At first, I had no idea how to use this scratch so I looked on other people's work on the scratch and then I started to understand about this project better. The thing that I struggled the most was writing the script. I asked many people many questions to make this project even better. I have experimented many sprites and backgrounds to find the most suitable on for my project. 
communication- I think my presentation was not very good as I could not take off the white part of the sprite out. In addition to this I don't think I have managed to program well because I could not make the sprite move naturally. However, by creating this story, I think this video has managed to tell what the moral and what this video wants to tell the audience.

Reflection for my scratch video

My topic for my scratch video is about global warming and this video was targeted to children.

At first, when I started exploring the scratch, I had no idea how to write the script to control the sprite. However, advice from my friends, and the things we learn every lesson, it has helped me to create a scratch every lesson. At first, I didn't even know how to show and hide the sprite but I loved the feeling when I went out of this room, feeling much confident  with my skills than when I entered the class that same day. This really benefited me because I really like feeling the sense of accomplishment. In conclusion, I have enjoyed the whole process of making this video.

Things that I found difficult are uploading the images which are for background and for sprite.At first, I tried to upload them from internet but as the size and things turned out to be weird, I used other backgrounds instead. However, as I went on started to understand how to and I have managed to complete my video with many sports in them.

The part that I think has really worked was that the timings were good. The sentences were long enough to be read by the audiences and the seconds that I have decided was good enough from my view.

Things I would do differently next time is the background of the sprite. The white background looked quite bad. This is the things I would do differently.

Reflection for my storyboard

Reflection
I have chosen to do about the global warming because I know many effective pictures that can be helpful to convince the audiences. At the same time, I also have researched some ways we could put into action to protect the earth from getting heated. I also have planned in my notebooks (not school one) to finalise and find the best idea for my scratch videos. I have enjoyed the part where I did the final drawing because, as I had everything planned, all I had to do was to draw a better drawing and colour them in. Since I like colouring, I have enjoyed this part of my developing ideas. My difficulties where to think of the ways that are effective to the audiences to raise more awareness. Things that actually has worked really well was that  my time management skill was very helpful to plan everything out. I think I have managed to organise everything and also have managed to hand them in one time. If I had another chance to redo this whole process, I would show what sort of bad effects does the global warming has to show some sort of an information video to tell what is happening on this world. I would also choose a song for this video to keep my audiences interested in my video.
