In this project I made a video game. I did the artistic part, modeling and texturing, but focused on the coding. I decided to make a video game because I wanted to learn about what was needed to make a video game and if I could do it. Before this project I thought it would be interesting to get a career in video gaming but wanted to make sure I both enjoyed and did well in this field of computer science. Now I am more confident that this career would be a good choice for me.

For my capstone, I decided that I wanted to crochet blankets for babies. I have been crocheting for a few years now and have always given them to family and friends. There are only so many blankets, scarves and hats that someone can handle. This project gave me the opportunity to do something good with what I know how to do. In the eight grade, I worked in Project Linus, which is a non-profit organization that provides children with hand-made blankets. For my 12th grade project, I decided to further this by looking for my own organization to donate to and round up a few donations to send to them. Below are a few pictures of some of the work I've done and some donations I've gotten. Many of the blankets I've made have already been given out and no pictures were taken of them.

Hello my name is Jennifer Landham. For years I had watched and observed my grandmother and father throwing down and cooking in the kitchen. This had always interested me. I had always been that kid to sit in the kitchen when all of the other kids were cooking and playing. Since then my interest has not changed but really expanded.

My capstone is about this exact interest. I love everything that has to do with cooking, especially baking, which I prefer so much more. This is a basic cooking blog with the directions that are not difficult to follow and understand. I really loved doing this, I also had made a video channel which s posted on the website.

Abstract:

My goal for the capstone was to pick 3-5 diseases that I wanted to go in depth with. The diseases had to be common and something that I can acquire a lot of information about. My final product is this website/blog. This blog includes everything that I have learned through out my research. It is all facts. The diseases that I studied are Diabetes, Tuberculosis, Schizophrenia, and HIV/AIDs. Each site includes statistics, what it is/what it does to the patient, whether it is curable or not, what can a person do to prevent it, its' symptoms, current researches, caring tips, what that person's diet should look like, and whether it is contagious or not, etc.

Newscast

Abstract

For my capstone I basically made a bunch of newscast that talked about current events. I was part of the MightyPost program and so I needed to attract teens using the media. I was the producer,writer, director editor and the anchor. I decided to do this because I really enjoy working with media. When I was a kid I wanted to be a news anchor for sports but now my dreams had changed and I want to be behind the scenes. I am going to major in Telecommunications which is the behind the scenes broadcasting, as well as behind the scenes for all media connection, like the internet for example. Like I said my goal was to attract teens so some videos were about current events and others were about stories that teens would love or find interesting. I do enjoy editing the films the most because I can present my creativity which is fun and somewhat relates to my current major.

This was a video on the web from the Newsuem. It basically talks about what is bias and what is not bias. It teaches me what are some effects I have if something i biased. Since I want to be a little bias to make my newscast stand out but I learned how it will effect my viewers.

This was a research paper made by a student on radiation and how it affects broadcasting. Although the title made sound pointless it actually gave me information on international broadcasting. Although I only read the abstract, not the full paper because the full paper cost money. I used the information when I am making a script for the newscast.

Williams, David. 28 Jan 2013. Jan . Print.

I go to meetings with Dave every Monday and Wednesday. What I talk about with him are some topics I could use for the newscast that current week.

This is just a plain website that I receive most of my stories from. I believe CNN is a great news source that talks about the top news while not being as biased like most websites. Most of the stories I do for the newscast, comes from CNN. I give my interpretation of the stories and explain them during my newscast.

Abstract
Since sophomore year, I've been exploring the art of cinematography. This year, I wanted to explore even further and make a variety of different films that could showcase my skills and progress through in film. In order to start off my career in film, I decided to create a film portfolio documenting films I've worked on during my senior year. I've also included writing samples from scripts that I have worked on, and also a little artist statement to go along with each video. This portfolio will work as a base for my future endeavors as I venture into the real world.
