Reflection

over the last 2 Fridays i have created a movie starting from a power point that converting it into a movie. at first i was totally lost on how you are meant to do this, after consulting the teacher i then got a brief idea on how things work. i completed making my movie and turned out to be what i expected, but i still have further editing to do on y movie

It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story.

Lesson 2 - Motions

     Today our assignment was to work on adding voice - overs to our 45 second videos that we created last week. However, considering that not all of us had head phones made it difficult, hence subtitles were suggested instead.
     During this lesson, I aided Mr. Gioko with collecting and inputting e-mail addresses of the students in the club, enabling access to the club blog. Additionally, I managed to inquire on whether I could work on my C.T. project during the club as it is also about making a video. I intend to explore a new software, and I was hoping some of the skills we share in the club could aid me. Mr. Gioko agreed, and I shall be doing the same during clubs time.
     By the end of this club, I would like to be able to have gained various skills about a different software for video making. In order to corroborate my learning, I would like to have created a video about hygiene, which is also my C.T. project, and finally, I would like to share my knowledge with others.

The first lesson was interesting and fun because it gave us a chance to express ourselves really quickly because we had to make 45 second video. It was interesting because I did a very interesting story about a guy named Kurt and his life. I like motions.

Today, I opened my video planning to edit it, that is putting subtitles. But i couldnt do it because I saved my video in the "MOVIE" form. But this delay kind of gives me time to redo the video, and start to think about subtitles.
