Cracking the Code

I do not think coding is a thing everyone needs to learn. Coding is very specific to computer work. Only certain jobs require coding. I don't think it is necessary to know if you have a job that doesn't include computer programming. Certain jobs like a chef, vet or surgeon might not need to know more than a basic knowledge of computer coding.

My first experience with coding was great. I had a lot of fun figuring out the problems and seeing how it worked. I liked how challenging and new it was to me. When you first learn how to code, you have to be patient. It takes a while to learn which way is which and how much you need do turn. It is good if you plan it out in your head before.

If I could design any program or game, it would be a medical game. Ever since I was little, I've been fascinated by medical material. I have always wanted to play a game where you could be in control of everything. The players gets to choose what kind of patient they work with, and what problem they assess. The game would have unlimited levels set at the players pace. After each round, the game will give the players a choice to watch a video or read a little about the category of medicine they just did. This game will give the players a chance to learn more about medicine.

My Humorous Monologue

I have learned many things from this project. Some were easy to grasp, and others were not so easy. Here are a few key elements that I have learned from this project. I have learned how to use iMovie correctly. I have learned how to write a humorous monologue, and I have learned how to film great visuals. These are all important because they contribute to our future.

Padding is the space before and after your audio. This is important to have because if you don't have it, it could cut off part of your voice. If you are saying something important, you need to make sure your audience hears it all. Padding is also important for editing. When you edit, you need space to change anything unpleasing.

My main weakness for this project was finding good b-roll. B-roll is the extra footage to help support your project. This was hard because it needed to add too the monologue, not take away from it. My strength on this project was editing. Editing was the easiest thing for me because it was fun and I got to be creative with it. This project takes time, so make sure you are prepared!
