The time has come,
In today's post I am going to describe the process of creating my sign off project with the help of Windows Movie Maker,
In my previous post I have shown the script that I have written for my video review. The next thing I had to do was to record myself with the help of my phone: iPhone 7 which allowed me to record myself in the quality of 1080 pixels (Full HD). I have recorded myself about 40 times and after that I have picked the ones that I felt are the most professional, even though I was stressed in every each of them.
After recording myself I have transferred the best clips to my computer via google drive.
The next step was to open Windows Movie Maker and paste all the clips of me talking but also the clips from the film itself. Because I had that idea to make those clips mingling with each other.
I really liked the colours in my recordings so I have decided not to customize them and leave them just the way they looked. When it came to clips of film on the other hand I have decided to customize them.
I used the same technique to every next clip from the film. I transformed the framing by clicking ''Transform'' and have chosen the frame with the blurry background created by the first second of the fragment with the main clip located in the middle.
By transforming the frame of the clip I have gained the space under the clip for a reference to let the viewer know the original source of the clip. I have created a text and decided to display it in the font of Arial and the size 19
Later on I decided to change my own recording a little bit. When it came to the clip of me talking about the Film I decided to display the poster of it. It made my recording look way much professional and detailed.
I used the same technique when it came to the music/soundtrack side of the film. Unfortunately the software only allowed me to add one picture for free and the first idea was to add the picture of King Oliver on the left and Louis Armstrong on the right but I searched the internet and found a picture of them both which allowed me to keep my idea of showing them both.
One of the sides that I have also described in my review were the achievements of the film. Again with the help of adding pictures onto my recordings I was able to show the picture of Cate Blanchett wining the Oscar for her role while talking about the whole event. Any form of extra multi medias makes the project less boring and more interesting; it does catch the attention of the potential viewer
The last step was to encode the whole video; combine into one.
Good that you have added this process - I would like on your final piece titles on the front page and credits at the end as at the moment it just starts. I think the review itself and the way you have edited together is good - well done
ReplyDeleteOverall your blog has 16 posts which is not that many for a terms work and does not include all the work - I some students with over 35 posts and quite a number with 25 posts plus. I think you needed to add more throughout please make sure you do add more and a reflection before assessment
