Experimental Camera
Description
This camera is meant to capture different moments and moods of a person during quarantine. It can be used by anyone to express themselves and capture the moment.

Design Process
I used one of the references from the glitch assignment page to create the instafilter.
I changed the blue values to help the color stand out. The last two are from additional tutorials from Xin.
I tried to put my own spin on them. For the pixelator, I added the filter(INVERT) function and the pointillist
I wanted to make that function behave like draw. My intention was to have the user click the 'Pointillist' button
once and the dots fill in by themselves. I tried using loop();however, I could not get this to work. I contacted
DT Study and I still am looking for a solution.
Next, I created a function to take a picture. The main issue I have with this function is that I cannot choose the
name of the image so I have to manually change the name of each one. I also asked DT Study about this.
My biggest functional feature are my buttons. I thought that it would be nice to have different filters for the user to choose
from and be able to switch at the click of a button.
*For some reason the camera does not turn on when the program starts but the filters still work.
I made some changes to the program after working with Elena on the Consentful Interface assignment.
Results
Reflection
I am mostly satisfied with this project. I had some doubts about my capability and making sure my buttons were functional. As always I persisted and was mostly successful. I will try to have my more confidence in my coding abilities in the future.
