DEFINATION
An explosion to me means a sudden outbreak and a release of energy.Porosity, in an explosion is the volumn of that released energy and how things are exploded. In other words, things may exploded into different level of porosity.

THE EXPERIMENT
The video that I have found shows an explosion in an open area. It displayed a huge porosity from small to large volumn. Combining the video found in week 1, I am interested in experimenting the level of explosion of objects on water and in water/liquid form.

HYPOTHESIS
If the level of porosity is depending on the "environment" during an explosion, The explosion in an open area should have a greater porosity than in a surrounded area, or inside liquid.

THE TEST
In the video that I created, I have set 2 explosions in 2 different situations. The first one was a set of boxes set on water and exploded by several barrels; the second one was the same amount of boxes and barrels set under the water and present and explosion. The aims was to observe the difference of same amount of object explode in different enviroments.

OUTCOME
The 2 explosions has shown that my hypothesis is true that the explosion under the water has a smaller porosity, that it has a smaller volumn released. That is when things exploded into pieces, they only exploded to a certain distance from the explosion point.

Documentary

To product the explosion video, I have chosen Expository Documentary.
I chose this documentary mode because I think this mode is the most direct way to use in order to product my video. Besides, it conducts me how to present my idea and concept.

Expository Documentary mainly defined as:
-The documentary film addresses the idea or concept to viewers with titles or voice.
-The illustration by words or voice combining the video shows the idea or argument of the filmmaker's clearly.

week 2 task



The short clip created based on the clip found in the previous week, which shown several ideas about explosion of boxes.

The video that I have created has captures an explosion of boxes on water at 3 different views. This experiment has sort of given me an idea of "explosion" in GMod.
