Final Video -- Tim Holden

I have now finished putting together the video. In the making of the video, i have used many different pieces of software in order to put the example shots on the video, such as photoshop editing techniques, notepad for writing HTML and J creator for the Java coding. The results can be seen in the video below:



I made the video using open source software from the Ubuntu software centre. The program is called OpenShot Video Editor, and works much like Movie Maker. There are a few occasions where it flickers or bugs, but i think that that is due more to my hardware than the software. I used this instead of Movie Maker in order to showcase the value of open source software, since i believe that it will soon become the preferred   type of software to be used, since i forsee Linux based Oses becomeing more popular than Windows.
I used another Open Source product called Record My Desktop in order to record myself making the movie.




I used a few effects in the video. I tilted the angle of the shot, in order to make it a bit more interesting. (I had meant to angle the camera on shooting, like the sensodine adverts, (see below), but i had enough trouble getting the interviewees to do what i wanted in the very small time slot that was available to worry about that.)

Images for Gallery- Julie Jolly

I have also given Emyrs images that he can use for the gallery that he intends on making for the website.

Sample Banner image- Julie Jolly

Today I have given aron a sample of a banner image which he can place on web page.
I am working on getting more sample done as my digital camera is not of good quality. I will be looking to borrow a camera which would allow for the 3D images to be shot better.

the above is only a sample!

Editing the video

I am editing the video in three stages. The first stage will be cutting down the raw footage I have into small chunks of usable fottage. In stage two, these will be combined with screen capture footage of programs being used, and in the third stage I will add effects, such as fade ins/outs, subtitles and maybe even light music if I have the time.

Creating Banner

Have been taking images to try and create a paranama effect for the banner. the sizes I have gone with is 4 images of 200px each and height of 200px (which will cover logo at the top).  I am hoping to do some samples so as to discuss at a later stage with group members

Shooting the video

Today, i took some footage of Julie discussing the course and some of the things that she has learned from creative media. She mentioned the skills that she has gained in using photoshop. I then intend to use the audio from her interview over footage of photoshop being used. My next step is to interview the second year students.

Today I was going to take a video of three of the second year students over lunch time, but, unfortunately, two of them were unavailable, so i had to make do with only one of them.

Slideshow - Emrys Williams

Today I figured out what I was doing wrong on the slideshow.  Turns out I had the alpha on backwards on most of the images, so they suddenly vanished then faded in only to vanish again to the next image when I wanted them to fade out to the next image.  Let us take a moment to appreciate this massive failure, however it's all fixed now.
