Week 11 (after spring break) Agenda: MovieMaker and Audacity

Before class:

Finish (a) project plan (b) storyboard
Create the materials needed: videos, pictures, slides, or audios.
Save all your materials in one folder in your flash drive. (You might want to save another copy in case that you accidentally lose the flash drive.)

Please post your "topic" on the Wikispaces and revise the information on the "Multimedia Production Site" page if needed. The page will be locked on Tuesday 5:00 p.m. (It means you cannot edit the group members, brief description, topic, and so on when the page is locked. But, of course, you will be able to use the links to go into your group page and edit the group page)
============
In class:

Make sure you've uploaded the project plan and storyboard on the Wikispaces. You can either post the word documents or type the texts on the group page. If you have already finished the word documents but you don't know how to add an attachment, you can bring it in and I will show you how to do it in class.

Remember to bring in the materials (in a flash drive) if you've created or collected. Please also bring earphones and a microphone if you have one. Thanks!

1. MovieMaker Interface

2. MovieMaker Features
Online Tutorial Website (MovieMaker Tutorial)

3. Audacity
Online Tutorial Website is here.
You can find the software Audacity to record the narration. The video instructions on the tutorial site will be very helpful if you are not familiar with Audacity. You can find Audacity on On-campus desktops (Start> Programs> Multimedia> Audacity) or download it for free. (Google> Audacity). ** Make sure you read the "step 7" export your recording as a .wav file or .mp3 file instead of an Audacity file.

How to embed all multimedia elements in blogs (please bring in your questions)

After class:

Next week is an open lab time. You can bring in the work to do in class. I will use most of the class time to meet with each group and preview the product even if it is still under construction.
