10. Write a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make it, and for whom you are making it.  For my design cycle project im going to make a video for it can explain the design cycle in a very easy way. Another reason why im going to make a video for it can be easier for the people because the video going to explain step by step for a simple/easier way. Im make it for the six grader can
see how to use the design cycle with-out getting all confuse and refusing to understand the right way.

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment?  My limitations for this assignments is to be at least 2 mins long or maybe even more because the design cycle is to long to fit it in to 2 mins and because for I can explain how its works/use.
13. How will you "test" your project? I'll test my project by passing out 5 surveys asking them if they know the 4 main parts of the design cycle and write what you do in each part.

INVESTIGATION REFLECTION

  The rateing that I will give my self is an 4. Well, the reason I gave my self an 4 is because in didn't really investagate many details from the 2 things I was compareing.which were GoAnimate and Animoto. Another reason I gave my self an 4 is because when  I was investigating my problem the information I was gathering wasn't really accorate. So that why I graded my self an 4. Also, another reason I was comparing GoAnimate and animoto is because they were both rated the same on the examples they gave me. then, one other reason why is because that was most interesting to me.

sence 1!

Goanimate



I gave design an 8 because I didn't really like how the design opitons were. Also another reason why because they have different things but not alot. Thats why i gave it an 8.

I gave font an 8 because of the many choices they gave you. Also, another reason why is because your able to change the color of the font to. Thats why I gave it  an 8.

I gave music an 9 because I loved the music choices they provided for you. Also another reason why is because your able to get music from the internet and combine music to make new beats. Thats why I gave is an 9.


This is why I choose GoAnimate.

Animoto


The number I gave for design is an 8.5 because in animoto your able to design your video with many stuff. Another reason I pick design because many people are creative and love designing stuff. Thats why I choose design and gave in an 8.5.

The number I gave for font is an 8 because there wasn't a lot of choses of sizes. Also another reason i choose font is because if you don't have visible  writing you wont be able to see what they wrote. Thats why i choose font and gave in an 8.  




The number I gave for Music is an 7.5 because i think there wasn't a lot of choices to chose from. Also, another reason I choose music because theres alot of people that love music and want to put it for there project. then, if people see a project with out music there are going to think its going to be boring. thats why i chose music and gave it with 7.5.


This is why i didn't choose animoto.

day 2 investigation reflection

Today we are going to make a video. Im comparing animoto and GOAnimate. The animoto is used for analyses the video, feels the music , customizes the video. And the GoAnimate is to choose your design. add photos photos, videos, words, music, email and post or email to your blog. I learn when you use animoto you have to make your video will quick and when you use GoAnimate you don't.
