Throughout this creative process, I've learned that Im willing to contribute in any way to projects. I've also learned that I pick good teammates. I was able to work with them and get our project done on time. I do consider myself a creative person sometimes. During this project, I thought I wasnt going to contribute much creativity to the game. But with my game cards, I wanted to make a little design so that the cards wouldn't look plain and I got good responses for doing so. Im also creative because of the fact that I enjoy writing so Im creating something. I demonstrate my creativity by thikig of ways to make something look better or even sound better.

1. What is stop motion?
This is a technique that is used to make any object moved on its own.

2. How is motion created using stop motion animation?
Motion is created when you put it into individual frames and play them in a sequence.

3. What material is needed to create stop motion animation?
The materials needed to create stop motion animation is a camera, any type of clay, small objects, wire, block figures, or string.

4. How is stop motion animation different from other forms of movies?
Stop animation is different because it allows you to see what is happening frame by frame. In other forms of movies, it is actually being filmed. With stop motion, you use objects and and take various pictures to include.

5. Describe the steps you need to follow in order to create a stop animation film.
To create a stop animation film, you must first get the needed figures that you will include. Make sure to set up the figures in whatever position youd like it to be. Then you take your camera and set it up where you want to take the pictures at. You must make sure the camera is steady or else your photos will not come out right. The lighting around you must be good too.

6. What objects are used in the films?
The objects that are used in the first film are a stuffed cat, another stuffed animal, and a little rocket ship. In the 2nd film, colored letters, a shirt, tie, pants, socks, and dress are used.

7. How is music used to tell the story in both animations?
In both animations, music lightens the mood of them. In the first one with the stuffed cat, there was an appropriate song to go along with what the cat was doing. It showed him a lot in space on the rocket and looking at the moon and the song had something to do with that. In the second film, they are preparing for a wedding and the music is uplifting.

8. What is the overall story in both of the films?
In the first film, the cat has dreams about going to the moon. It eventually gets to go to the moon on a little rocket.

For the most part, we were able to stick to our plan for the completion of this project. We just had to extend the time for the completion of the cards because we were clearing up some discreptancies about the layout for them. Everything else was completed on time except for getting the colored dice.

The developments that my team and I have made towards the execution of our project is figuring out what each of us are going to do. We figured out how to create the cards and what dice needs to be used. For the next class, we have to still work on our individual parts. Before next week, we have to work on our cards, gameboard, and collect other pieces. I have to work on the orange and purple cards. Yaritza has to work on the green and yellow cards and Sadae works on the red and blue cards. All three of us have to work on the gameboard. Sadae has to work on getting the dice. I have to collect the scrap paper. Yaritza has to make the game pieces. I've had certain difficulties. I think that thinking of questions for history is a little hard. I will try to research more in order to finish my cards.

My team and I have added specific details to our project. We came up with the number of tiles that should be on the board and the number of each color as well. I have started to design my cards. I came up with the idea of having the answer, upside down on the back of the card. Also, there will be multiple choice on the front. Yaritza put together the whole presentation. We will divide the presentation so that we each have a part. Our cards and game pieces are the same. My design for the cards will be used and Yaritza's designs for the game board and game pieces will be used.
