I think that I'm going to research what a cell looks like and what it looks like in the inside as well and then in my animation I'm going to show how it duplicates.

Chemical reaction is such a broad topic I have to find out the basics of chemical reactions and cut it down, to... say... two different things and instead of doing heaps of like...what it is, I should do it like, two different types of chemical reactions and put detail into it. Lots and lots of detail.

Magnetic fields are normally caused by metal, not always but normally.

I'm going to...umm, have a close-up image of a satellite sending out a transmission in slides and then it's going to become a full screen image with the Earth, with a satellite, umm, umm, sending a signal, umm, to another satellite, umm, that's in a different position and then that satellite transmit it down to Earth.

 

I'm thinking that I need to find out how it changes from one type of energy (heat energy) into electricty that powers things.

I will, I'm going to find what, if hair is actually dead or alive, and I have learnt about autoshapes and how to make an animation.

I now know that iron filings can be pulled in by a magnet with an invisible field called, magnetic field, and I have done a quick slide on what I know.

I made a satellite and I put some transmission lines directing, to where it's going to go, to, yeah, which is a satellite on the other side of this, planet that I've made, of Earth that I've made, and then it's going to be going to somewhere on the Earth, to yeah.

Umm, I pressed "No" on the save button so I've deleted my whole work except I didn't do much of it, umm, I found out what sol feige means, and, sort of, and, yeah.

Umm, today I didn't learn learn anything. I was just just starting to work on my animation of my stadium.

What I've learnt so far is, hair is actually dead and that's why it doesn't hurt when you cut it but it hurts when you pull because of the stem and that's alive so it does hurt. And that's where it grows from, the stem.

Umm, I'm trying, looking into, if, why hair is curly or straight. But like, not, not from the gene but just how, "How does it start off being like that?"

Today I learnt about electromagnetic fields and that there are other types of magnetic fields such as electromagnetic fields.

It's when electricity is made when a magnet is conducted or effected with a metal or some type of metal. I'm not sure if it has to be a special metal or something but yeah.

I've been pretty upset with the way my movement's been going on in my slideshow.

So I've learnt, umm, a way of doing it by deleting the slide, then duplicating the slide on top of it and then adding what I wanted to go onto it instead of just having to get really angry at trying to fix and put the pieces in the right position.

I haven't been doing much research but I did some on the weekend and I researched just about; "What are the many types of, umm, satellites that are like used for different things?"

Like some are used for like, special objects like TVs and GPSs and some are used for like communication towers and that sort of stuff, so, yeah. There's not just one sort of type, so...

Today I've been searching up, like, information on electromagnetic fields. And I might change my voice-over text, but, I don't know. Not yet.

I still don't know how LCDs work but I know they used to be one colour and now they're many colours.

Today I finally figured out how the grid would work. That all the notes on a major scale and how they fit in together. And, like, all the names of them and, umm, how it works really.

And I've started doing the aeroplane thing with all the windows.

Today I researched about photovoltaic cells. And I think the abbreviation for it is PV. And that's what solar panels are pretty much made up from.

I think they take photons from the Sun's light and covert them to energy.

So today I did a bit of research and I found out that a satellite, say one company's satellite, can't send a transmission to a different company's satellite 'cause they need to have, umm, the same program (or something like that) to get it to where it needs to go.

I'm going to make a, some more slides that, I'm going to put in a new coloured satellite. And I'm going to have one of my satellites send a signal to it and then it comes up with a red cross on the new satellite and it sends it back.

I’m beginning to make an image of the hair and the skin around it and what’s really around it and everything.  And, but now I’m about to find out what’s inside the hair and then I’m going to do an image about that.

I created, well I changed my animation into an electric motor which uses electromagnetic fields.  And I like, had to search up how it works and…yeah.

Today I learnt that, umm, satellites can only send transmissions in straight lines and it takes three satellites to get a signal around the world at least.  And, but I also finished off a few things from last week and showed satellites, umm, sending a transmission to, eh, a satellite that’s not capable of sending that transmission to somewhere else.

Today I decided that umm, I think, it would be good if we, umm, decided to umm, shape the grid going diagonally so that it would look like, umm, the notes going up in the, umm, the scale, the major and minor scale.  So I was working on that and, umm, yeah.

Today I learnt that there’s more than one layer in a solar panel.  And I don’t quite know what they are yet but that’s something I’m going to be looking at next time.

I’m thinking about animating the formula for frequency because the variables of length, tension and mass can be shown by animating how with length it goes from long to short, and tension goes from floppy to tight and mass goes from thick to thin and I’m going to animate that.

I changed my topic to “Molecular naming conventions.”  I started to write the atoms instead of drawing them.

So far I’ve done a detailed animation of inside the hair, and like, what’s actually inside the string and that’s all I’ve done so far.

Today I changed my voice-over text and I changed it quite a bit. And we’re making the decision of whether it’s…we’re going to show my animation turning or not.

What I’ve been working on today is making a small transmission of satellites from number one to number two.  But now I’m starting to work on another one where it’s not just from A to B but A to B and from B to C.

Today I was working on my grid.  Basically I finished it.  Also, umm, I’m just taking out, from my voice-over and everything, all the bits about, umm, black keys and piano and stuff so that this animation can apply to all music.

For my animation I’ve decided to make it so that I’m going to build the solar panel as I go through.  So I’m going to start with one layer and then do the next one and so on.

I could have covered the variables in any order but today I’ve chosen to prevent (present) them in length, tension and mass.

I learnt about, all electric motors have to use fuel like generators.  And, that, electric motors can be turned on and off…electric magnetic fields can be turned on and off but magnets can’t, so, like, it’s an advantage in a way.

Today I finished naming the atoms.  And now (I’m) working on the numbering. And after that I’m going to be doing, working out the order of the elements.

Today, I, ah, moved my voice-over text into paragraphs and I did a bit of my animation as well, then…yeah.

Fat Jeffery is going to be the star in the animation by having him not being able to get a signal but then getting a signal after satellites, enough satellites come in to…transport it around the world ‘cause you need three satellites to get a transmission around the world, so you can’t just use two.

Today I, I did another column into my grid and I completely finished it.  So I started on my plane and we talked about how the clouds need to be in the sky because then it’ll just look at, umm, the plane will just look like it’s fake and it’s flying, like lamely, and umm, so, and I’m just choosing the windows, and, umm, everything for the plane.

Today I, my computer shut down randomly so I didn’t get much done but I did decide that I might need to see a semiconductor, actually how it works and then I might be able to understand how a solar panel works.  And I need to know the difference between an N and a P type semiconductor.

Brendan gave me an idea of making a similar animation compared to “Pong” and it’s showing two different parallel lines and their angles and the sound moving between them.

Today I’ve been working on my voice-over script and it’s nearly finished.  I just need to find out the simplest way to explain the variables.

Today I learnt about this guy called Edwin Hill who made up the rule of the order of the elements in the chemical compound.

Today I learnt what “transponder” is…means, and it means, to umm, amplify and change the frequency into a new one.  And I also now know that the word “satellite” means something that orbits around something.

Today, I just completely started my voice-over text again so I was typing it up.  And we got rid of using the minor scales, we just completely got rid of that.  We talked about the chromatic scales and everything about that.

I finished my grid because I realised it was three rows short and we added some more stuff in to my slide show.  And, umm, from now on we’ll just be working on the planes.

Today I learnt that sound can move around the room.  It has the same effect as wind but, it has…the air molecules are changed through the vibrations of the wind.

Today I finished my voice-over script and I recorded it.  I tried to make it as short as possible.  I used repetition to make it easier to follow.  I also wanted to put in the words “pitch” and “frequency” but in two different places depending on whether I wanted to use…focus on the musical side of it or the scientific side.

Today I thought about how I’m going to animate my voice-over script.  So we’re going to put it into a table and then we’re going to delete the stuff that’s not relevant to that particular bit and then we’re going to animate it like that. 

I’m also experimenting with highlight colours.

Today I had to write what, how, what, why hair is different colours.  And I just finished off a few of my animations that I did.

Today, I almost like finished my animation and I listened to my voice-over.  The only thing I’ve got to get is a electric motor.

Today I actually found out that I haven’t finished, according to Brendan, which I’m not happy with. 

And I have changed the background of my animation to black seeing that before it was black with these…with a grid. So yeah I changed that, umm, because it’s obviously space but, I’m also getting a bit back on track and I think I’ll be able to finish it in the next lesson or so.

Today I started actually making my, umm, windows for the plane.  I also shortened the, umm, voice-over so that we can just jump straight into, umm, the chromatic, umm, all about the chromatic scale.

I’m considering changing my topic to “Solar cell efficiency.”  I’m going to cover the same thing I was going to cover in my old animation but just briefly at the start.  And then I’ll focus on how to make a panel, or cell, more efficient.

Today I decided that I’ll show the pong imagery first and then I’ll show the Newton’s cradle to show how the sound moves through the air. 

I’ve made a curved line so then I can show, well it will be easier for me to keep, a perfect arc for the cradle.

So today I played around with a sound oscillator.  And, I’m being pretty fussy about my umm, title for the heading.

Today I experimented trying to find which colours would suit the elements for highlighting.

I think I really understand my topic because I’ve learnt a lot over the past year I guess.  I’ve just finished my voice-over text and a few of my animations so that’s all I’ve done.

Today I made a fan which is a really good visual effect as a electric motor and I have finished.

Today I finished my voice-over recording for the end and I’ve done a bit of animation today but obviously I didn’t have enough time to finish it so I’ve instructed Brendan and told him what I need to be done and he’s going to be helping me finish it which is really good ‘cause it will be finished and yeah.

Today I was just playing around with the, ah, video editing, just seeing, um, how it looks and what should be better and stuff.  Then I generated my own sheet music which was just to add in some slides for the show.  So basically I’m nearly near finishing.

Today I recorded my voice-over script and finished it off.  And I started animating my animation.  And I decided not to do a 3D solar panel because it’s too tricky to make.

Today I finished my voice-over text and I’ve been working on animating an air molecule shaking to show it has energy and I have almost finished my animation. 

I’ve told Brendan what I need to be done, so the finishing touches, and he’s going to kindly help me with that.

Today I designed the opening sequence with instruments and I also recorded those same instruments which are guitar strings, piano strings and bass strings.  And I also designed the imagery for a string.
