Tech: Digitech | Evaluation Of My Animated Story

In the context of in the neighbourhood I will design and produce an animated story for children | 5 - 8 years olds to be used to show my audience target the everyday things that happen in the neighbourhood as kids.

My animated story is still currently under construction. May you please help me by giving me feedback on my conceptual design of my animated story.

Tech: Digi Tech | Working On Our Animated Stories

Today, we had yet another session of tech. In tech, we have been learning how to code, in order to create an animated story talking about something in the neighbourhood.  My story is based around a game show. This show is run by a wizard named Genero, whom captures his contestants. They must answer 3 questions correctly to be granted their freedom. The way that this relates to in the neighbourhood is that this show is watched on local T.V all throughout the contestants neighbourhood. I have planned everything out for this animation, and I am near completion for this project.

DigiTech: Week 4 | Finishing Our Animated Stories

Today, we had our fourth session of DigiTech. In this session, we needed to complete our animated story that we started in week 2. This story is an example of an animated story that I recreated using Scratch. If I could do this task again, I wouldn't change a thing about it, as I am really happy with the turnout, and it's comparison to other peoples work.

The components used to recreate this story include:

Sprites (For Characters).
Backdrops (For backgrounds).
Dialogue (So sprites can speak to each other).

The codes that I used to recreate this story include:

• Event scripts (To begin the story). 
• Event scripts (To start the next sequence).
• Look scripts (To allow the sprites to talk). 
• Look scripts (To change the backdrops).
• Control scripts (To put pauses into our animation).
• Motion (To move the sprites).

Tech: DigiTech Project - Initial Planning

Today we had our third session of DigiTech. In this session, we were to complete the following tasks:

Context Brainstorm
Conceptual Statement - To Be Completed Next Week
Planning Timeframes

Although before we began working on any of those tasks, we first started off with a Kahoot to refresh our memory with what we will be doing whenever we visit DigiTech. Following that, we moved onto our tasks for this session. We started off by creating a Content Brainstorm. The purpose of the Content Brainstorm is to show nearby locations in Tamaki that we could add into an animated story. Next came the Conceptual Statement. The purpose of the Conceptual Statement is to explain why we are creating this animated story, and what our main target of age groups are. Finally, the Planning Timeframe. The purpose as to why we have done the Planning Timeframe is to sort our different tasks into groups of topics when it comes to showing what we are doing. For example, Planning, Researching, and Evaluating. It also includes the estimated time as to how long it took for us to complete a certain task.

Tech: DigiTech Session 1

This week for tech, we began on our first session of DigiTech for the year 7's. Ms Anderson is our DIgiTech teacher, and she is really nice, with a great personality. This term for DigiTech, we are focusing on coding an animated story with Scratch. A small but large website that allows you to make billions of coded item. For instance games, animations, and more. Although before heading into that, we played a small game that included basic coding. It was based on the Disney animated movie Moana. I have not seen this movie, but know the small details about it. In this game, our task was to make it to a certain position through coding our way through. There were 19 levels to play through, although most people made it through around 11 levels, although I made it through 15. We all had a lot o fun for our first session of DigiTech, and I personally can't wait to begin on our Scratch project, as I know how to code with it. I hope that session 2 has even more to bring.
