Free Falling

I chose this video because of the content and because the video kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I watched it. The music was very suspenseful and I never knew what was going to happen next. It was better than others because it was very interesting how it was filmed and one wonders how long it took to make it and how much dedication it took the person to dive into a deep dark hole. I thought the person was going to be sucked in by something and never come out. If I were to make a video I would want to record myself bungee jumping with those cool HD video cameras and I would have dubstep playing in the background so I would feel like I am in one of those commercials.

Spaghetti Tower!

Group Analysis:
1 & 2.

3. 50 cms

4. What I dislike about my design is that it is a complicated structure and it takes most of our money to build. What I like is that it is unique and picturesque.

5. The biggest challenge my team mates and I faced were tryingt to balance all the spaghetti sticks together and distributing all the marshmallows evenly. We kind of overcame it by putting our heads together and thinking of the most convenient ways to balance and measure everything.

6. If I had the opportunity to re-design my tower, I would make it less complicated. I would make a simpler design that gets the job done.

Self Analysis:

1. I personally hated this prodject so much. I get frustrated easily and would want to burst everytime the design wouldn't stand. I wanted to give up the second we started. I started to like it when little by little, the piece would come together and it relieved my stress.

2. The structure of our tower is some-what similar to those around the room. What makes ours different is that it is more triangular shaped than those of others who is either square or rectangular shaped.

3. I fI could add another material I would add super glue. Super glue is an amazing adhesive and our group would have no problem with the sticks sticking!

4. My contribution to the group was not just one role. I did a little bit of all the roles. I helped do the math, get the materials, and helped construct the tower.
