11/22/2020 0 Comments Week 9The first trend we tried for the month of December was to make these hot chocolate bombs that are really popular on Tik Tok right now. To make the hot chocolate bombs, you are supposed to put melted chocolate in a circle mold and let it freeze in that shape. Then, once they're frozen, you are supposed to put hot chocolate powder and marshmallows in the chocolate molds and put one of the molds on top of another, to make a sphere. Then you put the "bombs" in a hot cup of milk to make hot chocolate. We had a lot of issues with this one. Our first issue was that Makayla tried to buy the circle molds at Walmart, but they were sold out so she ordered them on the Walmart website and they never arrived to her house. So, we had to use a paint palette to make the circles, which didn't work. We melted chocolate chips in the microwave, then put them in the circles of the paint palette and then put the paint palettes in the freezer. We waited 30 minutes then got them out of the freezer. We tried to get the chocolate out of the molds, and it was really hard to get them out. The chocolate just broke up into pieces. This trend was definitely a fail.

11/15/2020 0 Comments Week 8 This week we began working on our final project, which is to make a video of all the things that we've done. We started out by looking at different editing apps and deciding which one would be the easiest to use because none of us are really good at editing, which we are also working on. We tested apps like Video Star and Filmmaker, but we decided that the easiest one to use was iMovie. We've all used iMovie before for things other school projects and we all used to make iMovie trailers when we were younger.
Even though we all have experience using iMovie, we have never made a video as long as the one we are planning to make for this project, so we are still going to need to practice using the app some more. Also, as I said in the last blog post, we need to start taking more videos of the things we are doing so that we can make the best video for our final project that we can. 11/8/2020 0 Comments Week 6 and 7 These past couple weeks, we have been really struggling to find new trends that we can do. We also haven't had much time to meet up and do any trends. However, we have taken the genius hour time each week to plan our next trends and to work towards our end goal, which was to make a video of all the things we did. We already have some fun Christmas trends planned that we are really excited to do.
A couple weeks ago in class, Mr. Barker asked us if we felt that we were halfway towards our end goal, since we are halfway through the project. None of us even realized that the project was already halfway though and it made us want to take a look at how much footage we've gotten for the video. At the beginning of this project, we said our end goal was to make a video of all the trends that we'd done. Looking at our footage, we realized that we haven't been taking nearly enough videos to make a good length video. In order to be able to reach our final goal, we will definitely be taking more videos from now on. We are going to take even more videos than we think we need because we've realized it's better to have too many videos to choose from than to not have enough at all. We have also taken some time to work on our video editing skills so that we can make our final project as good as we possibly can. We worked using video editing apps such as iMovie and Video Star. We still aren't sure which app we are going to use to make our final project, because we want to use whichever one is easiest. |
