Final Project

For my final project in Emerging Technologies we had to do lots of family history projects. For the first item I made a email to my grandpa to ask him about our ancestors.Here is my email.

I also had to do a interview and ask two people in my family. For my first interview I interviewed my mom. The interview can be found here. For my second interview I interviewed my Grandma. The interview can be found here.

For my family tree I went to Family Echo on the internet and made my tree. It has all my family relatives from both sides of my family. You can find my tree here.

In my Prezi I did family members from both my moms side and my dads side and you can see this here.

For my info graph I did how my family settled in America and how they all met each other. This info graph also has facts about my family and its history.

Reflecting on the comments and grade of your stop-motion animation... what you would do differently if you had to do it all over again? Would you manage your time better? Find better lighting for your photos? Come up with a better idea? Explain what you would change about your video.

I would have made it a little longer with more pictures. I would have managed my time better by doing it over time and not rushing it. I could have made a better idea but i thought that making my bed would be the easiest to tell what the story was so people could understand it. I would change the lighting and how long it was also i would have added more steps to this project.

Tell me about your weekend.

This weekend i hung out with my friends and went to the chiefs game. It was a very cold weekend which stunk because it was hared to do a lot of stuff. The chiefs game was very cold but fun because we won. On Saturday i went to dinner with my family for my grandmas birthday.

Tell me about your experience with taking your stop-motion photos. What problems did you run in to? What did you find difficult about the process? What would you go back and change about HOW you took the photos? Explain yourself.

The experience took a long time. It was fun but it was difficult to be patient and take your time setting up the props. If i could change it again i would take more pictures and move the objects more slowly because i think that i moved some of the objects to far. I would move the object a little more sometimes than i usually did and i don't know how it will affect my whole video.

For my stop motion animation I am going to make my bed but where it looks like it is making itself. It is creative because it looks like the objects are moving by itself so it looks unreal. I am going to execute it by setting up the tripod in my room with my phone camera on. I will set up the objects every shot while my mother takes the pictures to make it go faster and more efficiently.
