The # that i gave for Simplicity is 5, because in the game maker,  the process to make the game is super simple to make. All you have to do is add the questions and their answers. You can put whatever questions you want, but you have to add their answers.

The # that i gave for Theme is 3, because the color of the website is only white. The letters may have a different color, but the website itself is blank. In the creation of the game you cannot add a color backround or make the text a different color.    

The # i gave for music is a 2. The game site is able to add a video in it, but for music itself. There isn't any.

Dvolver MovieMaker

The # i gave for Simplicity is a 4. The moviemaker is really simple. The video makes everything. all you have to do is add a backround, a character, and words in the bubbles.

The # i gave for Theme is 3. I gave it a 3. because mainly the entire thing seems kind of plain, and the website doesn't really express color. 

The # i gave for Music is 2. I gave it a 2. because you can add backround music, but you can't add

main music. The music isn't really good

Day 2- investigation reflection

Today, I decided I want to do an video. I went to Mrs. Hinojosa's blog and clicked on arcade games, which took me to Dvolver MovieMaker. Here I researched how to use it and went through the tutorial on how to make a video. The website lets you change the backround, music, character, and thier speech. I made a sample video, and I realized that this type of video maker can explain the design cycle.  T he other link i compared this to was "create an arcade game". It had all the basic tools to create a video. I choose how to make a video, because it can better explain the design cycle.
