In our gaming presentation we got all the points across that we needed to. Are strongest point that we went across were the controls of the game we created. We made a lacrosse game to add onto the Wii Sports package that you get when you buy the Wii. We explained what each button will do with the control. We also made it easy to learn, and make sure that everyone could play. We also added to the controller by adding an attachment to the controller to actually feel like you were playing actual lacrosse. This was a good idea because the Wii uses motion mainly for the controls so we had the attachment simulate the actual motion of lacrosse. We included pictures of the controller and pointed to each button saying what it’ll do. Are weak point that we had a little bit of trouble explaining were the Objectives. This is because the objectives are usually the same with any other sport game that is made, which is to score more points than the opponent. Objectives are mainly for adventure games where you have to reach checkpoints and go through many different levels and tasks. To explain it more, we added unlockable items based on the persons skills. If you do good, you get better gear, attributes and stadiums. Overall, I thought our presentation and game we thought of were great

Blog Assignment 7
The video joke that I was assigned to was the T-G-I-F joke. The joke is of someone going up to another saying T-G-I-F (thank god it’s Friday) and the other person says S-H-I-T (Sorry honey it’s Thursday). Although the two videos we made shared the same joke, there were also differences between the two.
The first movie that we filmed was shot inside of Seigfred Hall elevator. Our first movie that we created did a great job with explaining tension and release. This is because of the awkward moment that the guy and girl share in the elevator. The girl comes in the elevator saying T-G-I-F continuously and the guy becomes confused and then starts saying S-H-I-T. The tension is the build up of the two of them having this awkward feud. The release is when the guy says “Sorry honey, It’s Thursday”. Along with tension and release, we had a lack of space between the two people compare to the 2nd movie that we made. It was hard to film inside of in elavator because of the limited space an elevator holds. We had to cram the 2 into the shot and seemed uncomfortable on camera for the actors. At first, we were frustrated with the space, but then we realized that it added to the humor of the movie because it made the two people more awkward around each other.
The second film that we made was filmed outside of Seigfred Hall where they do the graffiti. We made this video more creative than the first one. We decided to do a old western silent film. To make it old fashioned, we added a sepia effect so the color was old. We also took out all sounds and added captions like in the old movies. The viewer would not know what they were talking about until the captions came up. Our film did a great job demonstrating objective and subjective. The video was subjective because it makes the audience wonder what they said or are doing when they were talking before the captions popped up. It eventually made it objective after they talk because it shows a caption of what they just said. The objective and subjective parts of the movie make the movie more interesting to the audience and makes them pay more attention. This film had a lot more movement in the shots than the previous video that we made. We had MacKenzie frolic to the guy creating a lot of movement. They also shook their heads while they were talking to make it look more interesting. In the end of the video, Nick throws a bottle at the two and walks over to them.
Both of the videos that we made were both good and very different from each other. Even though both were good, I liked the second video more than the first. Our group had a great time filming and creating these videos and were successful in it. Our video also successfully used the same joke in two dif
