So what did my group do?Our group proved to people why the references to God that are sanctioned by the government are allowed even though the first amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". We used this in our script as a base for our argument that the references to god do NOT REFERENCE A SINGLE RELIGION, due to many people believing in one all powerful God. We chose to omit our detail about how it does not reference one single religion because we had to pack a punch and we believed that this would not be the best usage of our time. What are my thoughts on the group's performance?My overall thoughts on my group are really good, I was very pleased with how we filmed. We used a wide variety of elements such as but not limited to montage. I was really pleased with how we incorporated the montage into the PSA when we did a very brief introduction of ourselves. I was really proud of us for that. In addition, I liked how we all compromised, due to the film being a mixture of ideas, as evident by me not getting the shot I desired of the poster in the front office showing the pledge of allegiance. In addition, I got a shot of me saying the pledge of allegiance which likely would not be there had I stepped in to stand up for that concept. Overall, I was very proud of how efficiently and cohesively we worked as a group and despite some small hiccups such as other group members filming birds, I was still overall pleased with how our group worked.

My criteria for this list1) is it easy to use 2) does it serve it's purpose 3) does it have other uses Number 5: Adobe AnimateAdobe animate is the worst of the pieces of software so far that I have come by. This is evident by it being very hard to learn and still to this day I have a hard time figuring it out. In addition, this tool has very little versatility as it can only be used for one thing and that is 2D animation. It's score? 3/10 easy to use 2/10 usability 4/10 versatility 3/10 overall Number 4 After EffectsAfter effects is better but I have not really found a good use for it. Everything that it can do I have found I can do with other programs, which makes it number 4 on my list. It's score? 7/10 easy to use 2/10 usability 4/10 versatility 4/10 overall Number 3 - Adobe PremiereThis program is very good, nothing much to say about it. It is good if you want to create a film, and it has some other uses, such as compiling footage and or animations, which helps it earn a number 3 on my rankings. 7/10 easy to use 6/10 usability 5/10 versatility 6/10 overall Number 2 - Adobe IllustratorAt first, I thought I would not really enjoy Illustrator. I was totally in for a surprise. I found out that it had a wide variety of uses and it was easy to use once you got the hang of it. I was able to create vector graphics like I never thought I was capable of. In addition, it has a high level of versatility as it can be used in many fields such as graphic design and animation, just to name a few 6/10 easy to use 8/10 usability 8/10 versatility 8/10 overall Number 1 - PhotoshopI can not begin to describe the magnificence that is Adobe Photoshop. It has everything that could be desired out of a program. 9/10 easy to use 10/10 usability 9/10 versatility 9/10 overall To sum it up...

So what is Google Stadia?Google Stadia is basically a brand new and revolutionary innovation in the game industry that could change the ways that games are played and the requirements may not be a factor, you may not have to spend a thousand dollars on a gaming PC if this works out. This means that gone will be the days of paying thousands of dollars on getting the hardware that Ninja uses to play Fortnite, as stated by Mark Edmunds of Starfire Studios “So it’s another game streaming service – but with the huge presence of Google behind it. Great for casual games or trying out a quick demo and the fact you need no high-end graphics hardware (just a good internet connection).". So what he is trying to say is that, like stated earlier, it will not require the big bucks to be spent and will only need internet access. Overall, Google Stadia plans to revolutionize the gaming industry. What are my thoughts?Google Stadia will be very good for people who do not have access to gaming software, but I overall do not like it. As stated in an article by Varsity.com, "Although still missing some intangible details (namely, pricing or a launch date)...". This shows that the price may be very similar to that of the gaming software that this new technology seeks to make obsolete. Also, this software could not be that much of a benefit for those with a bad internet connection, as evident by it being run by a Google server. Also, opponents argue that this is just a power play for Youtube and Google AI. Overall, I have a negative response towards this new planned product. To sum it up...
