MOVIE PLUS X6

Movie Plus wasn’t a new editing program for me. In year 11, I did an ICT project where I had to make a quick little video and I used Movie Plusx5. As that was so long ago, when it came to editing and putting my final opening sequence together, I didn’t know what I was exactly doing.

From the software, I watched and read different tutorials on how to do different thing. For example, I didn’t know how to cut, speed up or slow down the shots so certain parts wouldn’t be in the shot or so the shot wasn’t longer then 6 seconds. By reading the little information box that comes up when you ask for help, it tells you how to do it precisely to your liking.

Another thing I didn’t know how to do until I started editing my final opening sequence was cutting and pasting parts of the copyright free soundtrack and placing them on top of each other to create a different sound.

BLOGGERFor my GCSE media course

work, I put some of my

research and planning on to

a blog so I already knew how to use the blogger website. For this piece of coursework, I had to learn how to upload youtube videos, links and slideshows onto my blog so it looked more professional then just adding in “copy&paste” links.

You have to click on the little link box where I have circled and then copy and paste the link of what you wanted to add here…

PREZIE, SLIDESHARE & OTHER WEBSITES I USED

I used different websites to create different posts on my blog.

One of my favourite websites I used was a children’s dress-up website to create mock up outfits for our characters in our opening sequence. I didn’t know about this website until I started this coursework but it’s a really fun and easy way to create different looks for different characters.

Prezie is a website that I didn’t know how to use before this year. It is really straight forward and a very simple thing to do when wanted to put a lot of information onto a one publication so I used this website a lot for different posts in my planning and research and in my evaluation.

I had also never heard of Slideshow until this year. I found out how to use it after I made an account. It’s a good idea to use when wanted to put powerpoint presentations on a bigger publication because it makes the whole thing a lot more professional and it looks much better.
