Escher: Joe's Pictures

        This is a picture I made on Kerpoof that looks similar to a picture Escher made. There are three different perspectives, but it's kind of hard to see because my picture is small. In Escher's picture there are a few ways out and mines does too. It wasn't that hard to make this picture, because Kerpoof provides me the objects to it.  

Behind Media Movies....(Why I picked this book?)

             I picked "Behind Media Movies", because the cover showed flame everywhere and it was like one only good book left on the table. The cover looked good, but inside the book was all about how the make movies and if its ok to use money on one of those effects. If the effects not good they we earn less money from it. On the script it shows a place where it need to be shooted and  some group of people need to go search for that perfect shooting spot and shoot there. I didn't know that much about media until I went in Media Arts class. Plus now I learning even more things I didn't know about media and I'm sure it will help me on the podcasts we make in class. My classmates picked books that looked amazing and easy, I was planning to do that, but now I got a book that tells you almost everything about media. It was suppose to be about Lucas Arts, but the book is all about media, not what my teacher wanted.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back....

In "The Empire Strikes Back" the movie began at Hoth(Icy Place). Luke Skywalker was patrolling and saw a meteor crash. He was suppose to go back to the hide out, but instead he when over to check out the meteor. Luke Skywalker didn't know that it was something that Darth Vader send. Once Skywalker got over, a Wampa attacked him from the back. Han Solo was talking to princess and the two robots. Han Solo noticed that Luke didn't come back yet and it was evening, so he decided to go out and look for Luke. Luke was trapped in the Wampa's Cave and was tied upside down. He reached for his light saber and sliced the rope, after he fell to the ground the Wampa walked in. Luke was afraid, so he sliced the Wampa's hand off and escaped.
        On the evil side was a very evil guy called "Darth Vader." Darth Vader is all over the planet looking for Luke Skywalker. He is Luke's father, but Luke doesn't find out until the end of the movie. When Darth Vader found Luke he decided to ice him up with carbon freezing. In the end of the movie Darth Vader chopped Luke's right hand off. Now Luke has a robot hand.....
        The movie was ok not that interesting. The parts where I liked about the movie are the parts where they fight, but we skipped most of it. I think I will continue watching Star Wars to get the movie more. It was weird how they put a romance part in when they didn't really show that much in it. In the star wars movie they should put in more fighting parts. If they could make one disc with all Star Wars episodes in it I will buy it and watch it all.

Star Wars:The Empire Strikes Back

          Today we are watching Star Wars and I not really in to it, because I don't really know about Star Wars. I'm going to go to a field trip to meet the Lucas people and I don't even know what Lucas people is. The movie weird to me, because this guy putted another guy in an animals body. The text they do in the beginning is cool, it moves up the screen. I will learn more about star wars and learn even more during the field trip.

Reflection of Media Art Class 1st Semester

              So fair media arts class for me is fun, but all we do now is to make podcasts all week. When we stated I loved it, I remember when we use to make our podcasts with garageband.  Then we moved on to IMovie and we use music in the podcast. Kerpoof is one of our programs we use on our podcast and video record. I know that our podcasts are going to be more better and will be the best at the end of the year.

Joe S Consume	clarity of speech (Can understand every word spoken. Not too fast nor too slow. )	creative look (the title, images, video and credits are all easy to see and make you want to look at the podcast. Illustrations are related to the word or sentence and feel original and fresh. The credits don’t go by too quickly and are readable. There’s a sense that the whole podcast has the same theme and look)	creative production (The music adds quality to the podcast. It’s not too loud nor too soft. You can hear speech over the music easily.  The speed of the podcast is even and flows without blank spots or awkward cuts. There’s something interesting about the way it’s all put together. The Kerpoof picture is relevant to the word and a sentence and makes the podcast more interesting)	including all requirements (This week’s requirement was to use a Kerpoof picture with a cartoon that used at least one of the words. Great means they used more than one. There also must be 1.     definition 2.     WG sentence 3.     Original sentence 4.     Credits  with no last names 5.     Bibliography with name of web site and urls 6.     Document named the word)
Great
Needs a little work		(example – The title animation is kind of slow and it seems to jerk a bit. The pictures are really good and match the words. I wish you hadn’t changed the background color in the credits.)
Needs a lot of work or isn’t there at all
