Picture Preview

In media studies (film and photography subject) we were working on our photography skills as a project. We were using this project to advertise and exploit Grey mouth and our photography skills. We used a range of different shots to show our understanding of picture manipulation . We previously had a shoot and we were showing off our high key lighting knowledge. We showed pictures of the environment to also help sell off Greymouth as a clean and warm place. In some of these photos we did posing to show our skills of working with moving props and people.
In this photo we did high key lighting with shadows and posing. We had a high key lighting from the sunset in the background and the shadows of the beach contrast each other and have a certain affect with the picture drawing your attention all around the image.
This is another image using posing. We tried to capture natural positioning. The lighting faded out with the clouds but it left a grey kinda scene and we used this on highlight to environment

These are some more of my favourite photos  we used a range of different skills to show what we know about camera tricks.

This project is to be continued....
This was a preview just to show what we already have done, be excited for the finish project.

Design Process

The design process is a formal way for students to make things...
My mars rover has a basic chase and has four wheels with extendable treads . There is a satellite on the top to receive messages and to monuever without failure to connect.
My Mars lander is already on the create stage. We(Jessie and I) took our time planning the design and combining our ideas. I imagined something between the lines of the mammoth (mars simulations rover). The test Part of our design/model was more difficult because the sphero had to be involved and had a variation to its movement.

design process..


A bit about mars...

Mars has two moons.
Its known as a Basalt or igneous variety.
Mars has common traits with earth such as an atmosphere, crust mantle and core.
Mars does not have a global magnetic field and no tectonic plates.
Mars atmosphere is mostly made up of CO2.
Mars is a commonly reviewed for its potential because scientist are finding out how planets developed.

My Design...

Tinkercad

This is my mars rover Wall-e He has a satellite dish and can speak. We used tinkercad to help design our robots it is just a vague doodle of our idea and we tried to include all the features that a drawing had. My one is the perfect shape with little detail.

This is a multi functional robot with the ability to move over mars formed terrain and could take multiple photos at different angles.

The robot has a few gears functioning long distance trips.

Has a rotational camera in its head component.

Testing the design using the Sphero Robots

This code is provided for the sphero. This will be in a square motion and it was to show if our sphero chasey can turn and move in different directions. The Script was very important testing phase for our prototypes.

The code was set as a square to see if the chase can turn in the proper direction.

Hypothesis

I believe our chase is going to work pretty good because the wheels can move freely. The sphero fits in it quite well and I think that will make it faster.
Supporting my Hypothesis

I think this is what’s going to happen because…
Our Robot design has this shape because its aerodynamic against the winds on mars and can maneuver around its harsh terrain.

Our Robot will navigate the terrain with these features because its shape is a ideal with harsh terrain. This has a multi-angled camera to view all sides. The mars rover moves with ease but has an arm for leverage if it falls with a hyperextended camera at the end.

Our data capturing tools are these because ( think of your first goal)
We will need to have recordings from multiple areas on mars. These photos will only be discoverable on the top of the mars surface. And a sample collector on the end to referring research on earth.
Our lander will be manoeuvred by ( describe the remote controls)
By an x.y axis to ensure its path is mapped out.

ART!!!

In The Dragons Eye

In are we were asked to produce an water colour piece of art.
In this piece it represents the image of a sword in the eye of a dragon.

Cubes And More Cubes

This was an infinite cube pattern vaguely shown with shading. 

Broken Down

This was are robot images which is shown 3-D life with shading its a broken down robot standing in a clock tower.

The Hook Of The Taniwha

This is to show the Maori legend of the taniwha getting fished out of the water by a powerful fish hook. This was a detailed image that required patterns surging the the hook.

Lego Chalenge

Coding a field

Today in class we were moving markers that we coded. We used the y,x axis line. We were coding in our players and naming them and changing there color. We coded,moved and personalized players. the point of this coding was to use the y,x axis and to change code.
