Process Blog 09

Week 9!

This week I felt better and I am less worried about the project. 

Starting the first day of the week (Monday), I saw many of my classmates working on their projects and using processing and arduino . I was worried as I didn't have any thing like that, I thought maybe I am behind. I talked to my professor after class about my project and he gave me a good feedback and I am going in the right direction. I also showed him the video with the sound I had in my previous blog post. It appears that I am done with the interaction part of my project and need to focus on the whole vision and stories I want to present. I felt a little confident in my progress after talking to him. I believe I need a mentor in my life to guide me what to do (at least someone who knows better than I do) and if i am going in the right direction.

For my project, I wrote down all the stories I want to present my storyboards. I was able to narrow them into 4 parts or scene. The first part which I called the first scene (the daily life before the war); the second scene would be the "first night of war"; the third scene is children talking about their experiences and sending a message from a Yemeni child.  The final scene will show the damages of the war in the whole country and the effects of the war. During the weekend, I created the storyboards of these scene and It was a little bit hard to create for a 360 environment . Since this is really important to do I want to add some images in to support my stories. My next step in this project is to recreate the storyboards and make them some thing compelling. 

For my technical progress, I have been working on unity and I feel I am using it better than before. I was able to have images as the wall and another things to draw. I feel tools are not hard for me to pick, but the concept and what should be done are the hard parts.

I created a page for the annotated portfolio and I started working on that. I also did the extra credit assignment. Actually, I was not going to do it, but I had one interaction project I found during my secondary research and I thought why not! It didn't take a long time to do it. I just did it and I don't know if its right or not. Also,I was able to finish the proposal for the other class and this will allows me to focus in this class more!

This upcoming week is going to be busy as I need to redesign my resume for the career fair, proofreading my proposal and work on this project with the other work I have. Hopefully once I am done with this quarter I will have time to apply for jobs and maybe graduate school.
