Interview Skills


I think choice C has nothing to do with the interview because that was all about what she was taught in middle school but that doesn't mean that you use that as an option for an interview. That shows that the person is not prepared for jobs. Also, she went off topic she should've answered what is being asked. She was looking around at the end of the interview to see if he asked her to think pair and share whereas the second person looked around to see if the interviewer was mentioning her. Choice C was just a test taking skill which is not at all related to interviews. The first person was not at all prepared when the interviewer asked if she was able to write some stuffs and she was not specific on what she had done in her school whereas the second person briefly described the interviewer what she had done in the past.

Project 5

Project 5

This was one of the most hardest, challenging and interesting task ever. It was about making an interactive story using Adobe Flash and Action Script. We had to make a story based on our lab 20 which was relatively as hard as creating an animation. It took me a while to think of the story and how I wanted to start. Moreover, I wasn't used to Action Script which caused delay in my work and I wasn't sure of my work as well. The interesting thing is that I managed to create a good animation at the last moment. So basically my story was about a bee going insane and chasing a mouse and stinging it. But ironically the mouse escapes after getting stung and the bee dies after stinging the mouse because every bee dies after they sting since they leave their stinger and their organs after stinging. 

I learned a lot of things in this project which I don't even seem to remember now. These skills are very useful in the future as it can help me get a better chance of getting into a college or a job. Not only that, but also help me in my future labs and projects.

Lab 23

Lab 23

In this lab, we had to create an animation which consisted of a button and a ball. The button is used as an object to click which makes the ball bounce. This must all be done in action script and it was very challenging for us since it was our first time creating animation using action script. However, this lab gave us an idea of how to use action script and gave us experience on what action script really does. 
 This skills allows us to be able to create animations using Action Script for future and upcoming labs and projects. Besides, it also helps us in our presentations in our workplace and can help increase the chances of getting accepted in a job. 





Lab 22

Lab 22

In this lab, we were assigned to create an animation of a moving car. So, I started it off by selecting a picture of a car and cutting off the background of the car by using Photoshop. Then I imported that picture in the library of Adobe Flash and converting it into a movie clip symbol. After that I created an animated car and converted into a movie clip symbol as well. Then I created a background that I imagined of and started putting frames in the layers of the car and changing the size of the cars as it came closer and went farther.

In this lab I learned the importance of size and angle because without decreasing the size of the cars, it wouldn't have been possible to make it look like as if the cars were moving far and coming close. And without angle it wouldn't have been possible to make it look like there is a slope in the background. This skills can be very helpful in future since i can use these skills to make video games and create animations for my upcoming labs and projects.

Lab 21

Lab 21

This lab was about taking a picture of a pencil and replicating it using Adobe Flash. At first, I started by picking what kind of pencil I wanted to draw and then I downloaded the picture. After that, I imported the picture on the stage and began drawing the pencil using specific tools that were relevant in creating the pencil. For example, the line tool, paint bucket tool and shape tool. Then, after making the replicate of the pencil, I converted that replicated pencil into a graphic symbol and dragged another replicate on the stage and putting in some effects. 

As a result of this lab, I learned how to be able to replicate a real object into flash and put in effects on the symbols. This lab is relevant to web design because in future I can use this skill to create a real picture into an animated picture and making it look precisely the same. This skills can be useful in the future when I am trying to create a real picture of my adventure into an animated one. 

Lab 20

Lab 20

This lab was all about taking the symbols from lab 19 and inserting sounds on the objects of the lab. I started by opening Garage Band and creating sounds that was best fit for the 10 objects. Then after creating the sounds I exported them and imported them to the lab library. Lastly, clicked on the object and placed the sound in the frame that I wanted the sound to start.
In this lab, I learned how to insert sounds to symbols. This lab is very relevant to web design because without this, the animations created are not as amazing as it is with sounds. The sound is a key thing that makes animations look realistic and send the message to the clients. This skills are useful in future because I can use it in presentations and future labs and projects. 
 





Lab 19

Lab 19

In this lab our objective was to create an animation using Adobe Flash CS6. Firstly, we started by copying the symbols from our lab 16 and 17 because we had to enhance those same symbols in this particular lab.  Then, we started by converting the symbols into buttons. We put different shapes and sizes on the symbol so that it looked like as if it is clickable. We had to do this for at least 10 objects.

This skills can be applied in future when I need to create portfolios and animations to demonstrate my ideas to others using animations. In this lab I learned how to create an animation using Adobe Flash CS6 and learned how to make a movie clip. Also, I learned how to use movie clips and place it in the timeline.

Softskills - Communication

Communication


It is important to communicate your ideas clearly, verbally and in written form. As people nowadays accept you for a job also on how well you are communicating. Communicating clearly is very important because when you don't talk clearly, people won't understand what you are trying to say. For instance, lets say that you had a presentation to present to your client and you didn't speak clearly, then they might get bored and might not like it. But if you speak clearly they will get interested and will understand whatever your trying to say.

Professionalism

Professionalism can be applied in any kind of work. There are different ways to apply it in different works. In school professionalism can be shown by getting in class on time and getting ready to start the lesson. It can also be shown by keeping the things right where it was and doing it even before the teacher tells you to do and taking care of your own responsibilities.

Enthusiasm and Attitude


I would pick the person who was well dressed and well mannered because he's always going to be on time and it's going to make my company much better whereas the other person who was not at all prepared for the interview and didnt respect the interviewer couldn't have been able to do the job. The 2nd person looked professional which allows him to be viewed as a professional worker. Besides, he was a lot confident than the 1st person and seemed like he was ready for the job and was very eager to do it. During the interview the 2nd person gave attention to the interviewer and was well prepared with his paper works.
