Toy Hack Reflection 

1. If i was to box this toy up and sell it i would advertise it as the perfect doll. This seems appropriate to me because the doll has odd parts from various other toys, this showing how not everything thing is perfect which i think advertising has the effect of making children get unrealistic expectations and a lot of this is from toy. Also I think having different random parts give the toy a little character.
2. The thing I like most about this doll would probably be the barbie legs on it and the barbie hair! Although I had to put a new set of barbie legs on since both of the other ones fell off it still managed to work out. I like this because they are the cool little things that some people at first glance don’t notice and then it catches them off guard. What I like least about this doll is probably the new arms I had seen onto it, they look short and stubby. Also with the new arms I had to find a t shirt to put over top but the sleeves are almost too long. If I could redo this hack again I probably would have done it when I had more supply available for me the first time so I wouldn't have to re touch a bunch of pieces. I would also have thought more about what i wanted to do and find toys that would give me a little more inspiration! 

Art video Game


Some ideas I think I may be able to portray through a video game are;
- Canadian stereo  types (ex. Eh, Igloos, maple syrup). The object that could represent this problem is a polar bear. These stereo types don't directly affect the world but it is a biased opinion that the would has on us some times good and sometimes bad. It affects us Canadians because when you talk to people from another country and tell them you are Canadian they automatically expect you to be like these stereo types.
- Dolphins being killed for their skin. A image I would use for this would be a jumping dolphin smiling because in my game your dolphin is going to be escaping its killers. This is an environmental problem because the species will eventually all become extinct and for what the skin of a dolphin. Also this is a struggle because there have been extreme outburst over the fight against it
- Helping the cause for poverty. i would show some bread and water for this because the focus for this will be feeding the poor. This has a good effect of helping people and i think that in most cases this would be nice for anyone to play. There also wouldn't be much of a debate on weather its a good thing or not like there isn't much of a argument.

Evolution of Technology( art movie) 

Kayla Siegfried 

TECHNICAL: To make this project I got to learn how to use adobe premier pro, not only learning how to use this application but also steps that are needed to make a amazing, not that mines really amazing. Some other skills involved with this is learning how to use the transitions, effects and lengthen and shorten a video.

IDEA AND CONCEPT: My original idea for this project was to show the changing nature of technology and how people really are frightened by it. My idea never really changed during the work of this project but i did have o make compromises as i couldn't find exact stock footage like what i had pictured in my head as well as a song. 

INFLUENCE: There was no actual influence from a particular artist but the influence for this project was actually some of my other classes and the debate topic of changing technology. It was easy for me to make the move because I grew up with the developments and even i can say that I technology and what it is coming to even scares me. 

COMPOSITION: For this movie I tried to keep things symmetrical by keeping the videos of the same piece of technology the same length in showing time. There are a lot of motions that the videos make them selfs so I think that is one feature that is included that really makes your eyes move with the video and makes you think. 

MOTIVATION: My motivation for this work as mentioned above was debates i have had in other classes about technology, that combined with seeing some videos on the website i used to get my stock footage from. I like technology as much as the next person but it also scares me, especially when we think of how dependent we now are on technology, we even use is as a substitute for teaching utensils. (paper & pencil)     

CRITICAL ASSESSMENT: I would have to say that in my opinion the most interesting part of my video was the idea. I also like how I added the black and white effect along with the transitions to make it run more smoother. It surprised me how long it would take the program to fully apply the changes being made to the video. If i had more time I would probably think of a better idea and way to make it less obvious to viewer’s when the actually topic was, all around i would probably start over and make it better.
