growth mindset


This week’s blog is all about Growth Mindset. The whole idea of being on a learning curve and the idea of improving and growing in education and knowledge. Carol Dweck's TED talk is very enlightening as she delves into the idea of growth mindset, and how our minds are conditioned to be hard on ourselves and see our failures more than our winnings.

Personally, I see myself on the growth mindset spectrum as I find myself focusing most on my failures and how I should improve, and how I react to feedback and how my brain decides to take it on and grow and learn through my work and use it to improve my skills.

In my own college life, I have my own goals to set out to achieve, such as doing well in all of my modules and applying myself fully, most importantly in modules and assignments that may not be my strong point, or where my interests lie. For the modules that I do have interests in or have great passion for, I plan to aim for the highest results and achieve my goals.

Start Today, Thank Yourself Tomorrow.

First Playable

Overall, the game i'm creating is coming together nicely. The main aspects of the game are present such as the overall terrain, maze walls and gems (collectable). The finer detailing of the game such as the third person view with my character and the additional effects of the gems are set to be installed. I feel as though i'm making good progress and i'm happy with how my game is looking so far. I'm finding the finer details a bit harder to work on such as the scripting as it is very case sensitive. this is just something I will have to get the hang of and work on as I go!  I admit I was behind schedule with my game construction but nothing I couldn't work on, I know what I am capable of and how I'll progress further. I look forward to the final product of my game!

Introduction to loving film

Film is one of the most magical creations of all time in my opinion. Being transported to a new world, filled with new adventures and new people to meet along the way, it sounds a lot like a book, but it’s the visual aspect of storytelling that gives people that magical feeling. From the way in which a film is shot, location, ideas, hidden messages right down to soundtracks, it makes up a different kind of experience from a book, stimulating multiple senses and engaging the audience with the characters and story line. How many times have you seen a movie and have just been mesmerised? The director making you fall in love with characters, grow to love or hate a character, cry at the sad bits and have happy tears at the good bits? The magic of cinema and film truly connects with your emotions and brings you on a roller-coaster. The reason why I love film so much is because the smallest details are important, the angles of the camera, portraying emotions in a character to aid th...

game brainstorm

Game idea 1: Maze For this game idea, I drew on inspiration from ‘Where’s Wally’, ‘Roll the Ball’ and many others. The idea of getting from one place to another through a series of events is a challenge everyone enjoys. It sets a task and the user wants to complete it before anyone else does as a sense of accomplishment. It would be a simple enough game design and layout with a easy concept, as I feel those games do well with audiences, people enjoy a simple yet addictive game! Which way is out?? https://www.123rf.com/photo_90454303_stock-illustration-maze-game-scheme-square-labyrinth-sample-illustration-.html Game idea 2: Adventure Puzzle  This game will be more of a challenge than the first one, creating more of an environment or world for the viewer to enjoy. The aim of the game would be simple, to collect tokens or ‘treasure’ to reach the end goal. The inspiration of this game relates back to one of my first blog posts about my favourite game, Temple Run. With a...
