NZ climate

Link

I think that Alexandra has the coldest temperatures because it is near the bottom of the South Island.

Although Aukland is one of the most northern cities it has the highest rainfall.

What A Great View



Mountain Scene.png

Looking at this picture it looks like this person is enjoying the view of Mount Everest from the door of their tent.

I feel amazed relaxed and maybe a little bit happy and feel wind calmly blowing around me.I would smell the very little but fresh air and the snow around me and.I hear the wind wrap around my ice pick gently whistling with the snow crunching under my feet.And I  see the greatest view I have ever seen and all of the beautiful valleys below and the sheer cliff faces on the side of the mountains and all of the avalanches waiting to happen.

McDonalds 2014 World Cup

Brazil Burger
Argentina Burger
France burger
Spain Brekkie wrap
 Rio Frozen sprite
England Apple pie


Ingredients for the brazil burger:

  • Beef Patty which includes red kidney beans, sweet corn, red onion, tomato puree, water, green capsicicum, salt, spices and garlic.
  • A soccer ball bun
  • Mayonnaise
  • Lettuce
  • Carrot
  • Red Cabbage
  • Brazil Sauce [water,sugar,capsicum puree,tomato paste,vinegar,chilli puree,salt,garlic puree,sices and herbs]
I think that this burger is related to brazil because of the abundance of ingredients that are used in paella such as the capsicum and the corn.

A burger that I made up is the italian burger which contains tomato and basil sauce, meatballs and spaggeti swirled on top of the meatballs with a sour dough bun.

How to Video Reflections



RATING

0 - 3
0 = not done 3 = extremely well done
- Do I have a title slide? 2.
- Do I have subtitles for the steps? 2
- How well does the voiceover timing match the photos? 3
- How well do the photos match the script? 2.6
- Are the photos well focused? 2.3
- Is the audio clear?

Reflection

A strength was mine and treys editing skills.

A problem we overcame was catching up very fast after days of being behind.

Our best shot was the ending shot of the group because it was fun to make and it turned out better than we thought it would.

A piece of advice I would give to next year’s class making How to Videos is use lots of shots because it adds more detail to the voice over and makes more sense to watch the slides not listen to a video with one shot.

How Does a glow stick work ?

What I think: inside the stick there is a chemical that reacts to another chemical in a fragile tube and the reacts when you snap it.

What I think after hearing other ideas: No change.

What I think after seeing what happens: My prediction was Correct.

A glow stick contains diphenyl oxalate in the outer casing along with a coloured dye and in the glass tube is hydrogen peroxide  and when mixed causes a fluorescent glow to the color of the dye so if the dye was blue the light would glow blue.
