Cracking the Code

I: Do you think everyone should learn to code & why?
Code is a set of written instructions used by computers to do something. Your computer can follow commands that you make it do. You may ask why is this important? Well code is what lies behind the digital world. For instance, video games, apps, websites, calculators, and programs for computers all use coding. All around the globe this is used, so it should be taught in every school since its so heavily used throughout what we do daily even though we cant always see it on the surface.

Since,  I am totally new to coding and still learning because it can be complicating and hard to remember. My first experience to coding was in GT on a website and it was a struggle because I've never worked with anything like it before and along the way I did start to get used to it. What we used was a hour of code that anybody can type in and try it for free.

If I could design any program or game my first choice would be a maze thats twisted. What I mean by "twisted" is every time you want to make a move you will have to answer a specific math question. If you get it wrong you will not go as you desire, instead into a trap that will make you go back to the beginning.

My Humorous Monologue



For me this project has been a little of a struggle because I'm a reserved person who takes a little more time to become myself. I've loosened up and this definitely is a help to find something that doesn't make only me laugh but people who will understand my kind of humor. Monologues are popular in 7th and 8th grade at my school so its always good to practice and practice. If your looking at a career that includes speaking in front of an audience this will benefit you. even if thats not quite the career you were looking for this does help with social skills and vocabulary.

If you want a smooth, slick start and end for your video clips always add pad at the beginning and end. Pad is when you start your video recorder for at least 3 to 5 seconds and before ending your video wait 3 to 5 seconds then stop it. This helps when editing so you don't end up cutting off any voice or action in a clip. Another thing that is good about pad is everything goes smoothly when your audience is watching.

For most of my projects in G.T. I have a lot of things I need to improve on. Once in a blue moon I wont struggle on a big project like this. This time I was struggling with getting B-Roll done because I did not know what to film in the limited time I had which was my fault. My only strength in this project was witting up my monologue
