During this lesson, i had some difficulties making the sound effects since you can't just get the monsters sound effects online since thats illegal, so i recorded the sound effects on minecraft and in the end it worked out.

Mark, well done on creating a great promotional video for Minecraft. The editing and use of narrative is excellent, and this is supported by the sense of rising tension offered by the change in music when you are preparing for the worst. I love the opening text, followed by the panning shot, which really sets the mood. I like the fact that you took the time to improve your work, even though you had already completed the unit...such dedication! Very, very well done.

I did the unit on MC 101 and it was a fun experience to get to know MC more and the wide variety of things you can do in it. I learned about the good things and bad things in MC such as there are many hostile mobs that will attack you if you are in survival mode and that you can use diamonds to create strong armour and swords. In general I think MC is a great game where you can craft structures using your imagination and explore multiple dimensions and generated structures throughout the game.

Benjy, well done for completing this unit. It has taken you a long time to get it done, and I do wonder if you spent all of your classroom time wisely (I have a feeling there might have been some sneaky gaming in there, but I might be wrong). However, the result is very polished and engaging, with some smooth video/audio editing, and a sound track of your own creation.  As an advert it works very well, although it does lack a hook at the end: how is it that you can convince someone to go out and play Minecraft? It would have been cool to see an example of some crazy crafting on your part, to illustrate some of the creativity that is possible. I am impressed that you submitted this work in your own time. Overall, well done. For your next unit I would like you to focus on something more technical, such as Modding Minecraft, Teardown & Rebuild, Programming 102, etc. Please take a look at your Visual Assessment Guide for an overview of your year so far.

In this unit, I learn a lot about redstone and built many useful stuff with them, for example, slime block elevator, day time stairs e.t.c. I was so enjoy the feeling of success after I built the redstone creation. I am satisfaction of the minecraft project. P.S. I will submit another video with a USB to explain the creation in the map and how to use them.

Holin, well done on a really great unit, where you have demonstrated considerable creativity, persistence, focus and humour. Your red stone creations in Minecraft are really interesting, and I love the sign posts that tell you what you can do. It is like a mini adventure game. Clearly, you are very good at crafting. With your love of red stone, programming might be a logical challenge that you enjoy. Keep working hard, well done!
