video editing reflection

Since me and my partner have already know and expert using the windows movie maker,we then want to take a challenge by using the other software for this assignment. We used Cyberlink PowerDirector for this assignment. I felt very keen to use and produce the video by using this software since I saw the video product from this software was better than a movie maker. I felt excited to explore one by one the transition room as there are lots of transitions effects in this software. If I could, I wanted to use all the transitions for my video but due to the time limit, I just could use only four to five transitions. I also can explore the slideshow effect, trim, title room and so on. At first, it was hard for me to use this software, but I realized that learning takes time. Now, I can use this knowledge in the future as I know already to produce some good video for educational purpose by using the software.

Beside this software, my friend and i also use Easy Audio Cutter software to edit the audio and add it in the video. We chose this software because it was easy to use; to cut the audio and also to join two audio together.

I also had learned some soft skills during this video editing process. I had learned to give and exchange the ideas with my partner. I learn to accept and at the same time share my ideas with my friend like as example, she give some ideas on how to improve the video and we take some actions by improving our video based on our discussion.

I also learn to be responsible of what I produce for this assignment. I worked hard to produce a momentous 4 minutes video so that I felt contented when watching my own product later on.

During the process of creating this video, I manage to develop my positive emotions as I always think optimistically and felt confident in finishing my video. When I faced difficulty, I will said to myself, “ I know I can do it!” The video in the youtube entitle ‘Story of life’ is the proof that I managed to do it even there are lots of difficulty I faced while producing the video.

Others soft skills that I had learned were honesty in making this video. I must honest producing my own work, and I cannot plagiarism others work as this is not the right way to do so. Besides that, I also learn on how to negotiate with the others, teaches others what I know and so on.

Audio editing

My use of audio had been very limited. I usually used too much audio in teaching tools such as PowerPoint presentations. I used audio in order to be flashy, not to emphasize certain points. I was not using sound to make sure the pupils were learning during my micro teaching last semester. I also was not familiar with the audio editing programs that are available for use on the computer.

Through my reading, I learned that “less is more” with any audio used for instructional purposes. I learned that sound is not just sound effects. Sound can be found in things such as videos, television shows, and computer games. I also learned that there are different types of sound categories including: speech, sound effects, and music. After reading “Multimedia in Learning,” I learned that sound can be used to accentuate a visual presentation. Adding sound can draw out certain aspects of a performance. My work for this task would not have been as effective without the recorded sound and sound effects.

I enjoyed using the “Easy Audio Cutter” and “Virtual DJ” programs to edit my recordings. My “ah ha” moment came when I realized that I can edit the audio by adding some effects to make the audio more interesting and it can also attract the audience to enjoy the audio. I have also found it helpful when editing songs; for example, deleting portions of a song or creating a song that is exactly three minutes long. Finally, thanks to my friends whose want to share with me this software. Really helpful in order for me to edit my audio. :)

photo editing ref

This was our first task using Adobe Photoshop. We were asked to edit any photo by using this Photoshop software. I created the image using an original photo, “ my friend and me’. I used Photoshop to alter the colors of the background photo to play on the surrealistic of the image as well. This Photoshop was a fun way to learn my way around the software. I think it really helped to get into it without too much headache, though I must admit that it took a lot longer to create these images than it appears. I found that time would just fly by when I was working, especially when I was hunting for images to use in my scene. This exercise was very helpful in getting to know Photoshop as well as for getting advice and feedback from another student. It was interesting to contrast design ideas and to see how another person interprets ones ideas. I also noticed that I can relate this learning process with my role as a teacher one day. As a future teacher, I can use this knowledge of editing photo to edit some pictures for example, cartoon pictures to make use as teaching aids. As we all know that pupils love colourful pictures, animated pictures, therefore this is my opportunity to learn as much as I can on how to create and edit the pictures so that teaching and learning process can be done meaningfully and pupils can enjoy the lesson that day. In the nutshell, it was definitely a good experience with this collaborative work.

Welcome note…

We need each other. We need the experience, the ideas, the good and the challenging about resources, tools, hardware in order for us to become techno savvy teacher one day . We need to share what really works and what doesn't in this technology world. As a way to share those experiences, I hope that we can exchange our opinions and comments here.

The way it works is that I will share a resource or you can email me at nurulamalinayusof@yahoo.com and I'll post it. Thanks to all!!

F.I.R.S.T I.M.P.R.E.S.S.I.O.N What is resources? Before entering this class, of course I must have some understanding of what actually resources is. Based on my understanding by reading some materials, resources comes from the word resource, means any physical or virtual entity of anything used to help one ,means that as for a teacher, resource is the materials (teaching aids, videos,songs, books, pictures etc ) that a teacher can used in developing teaching and learning activity. Through my experienced of collecting some materials for teaching during macro teaching practice last semester, I know that as a teacher, it is not an easy job to find a suitable pieces of material yet a very quality of resources to use in the classroom practices. Somehow, this course really helpful for me and my friends to gain as many knowledge as we can so that in the future we can make use this knowledge and apply it in teaching and learning practices. I hope my lecture, Pn Fouziah can guide my friends and I during this semester. Thank you.
