Reflection for Class

So we are starting the second week of class and I think this is a good time to work on a reflection. The PowerPoint Presentation went well. I really liked working on certain sections of the PP but the narration was rough. I think if I had taken more time to "play" with different features I would have figured out a better way to add the narration. I don't think that I could ever make something as smooth as the professionals, but I could probably have a lot of fun trying. I have always liked using PP, but it was difficult for me to do the narration in the slide show. I didn't want to write everything out and sound like I was reading so I just jotted down some notes and went from there. No two takes were the same.

It's already time to move on! Our next project is a MovieMaker production. It only has to be a minute long, which is great. BUT, I'm not in a library right now and I don't know what kind of library I'll end up in so I'm having a really hard time coming up with ideas for these projects! I think what I am going to do for this class is take everything as if I were still at Trinity. I know some of the things I had wanted to do and some of the projects that the grades used every year. I kind of want to make an introduction to the library for the school website in the hopes of making a page just for the library, but if I do that I'll need to work with Janet and I'm not sure there is enough time. I'm trying to think of a good Plan B in case we can't make it work. A one minute movie that needs to include titles and credits can't take too long to shoot, but I haven't talked to anyone yet. I'm a little worried about needing narration in this video again, but hopefully all will go well. I'm hoping to have a storyboard to bring to class tomorrow so that if by some miracle Jan wants to do this with me and has the time I'll be able to start shooting right away. Of course I also want to have Plan B storyboard ready to go as well. I just need to call Jan...

We've got a couple of PP presentations to watch tomorrow and then we are gonna try and talk about the article we read for the week. I hope we have some time in class to go over some more information about the MovieMaker project as well. Next week I have my "focus on" project to present as well. I don't think I was the first to sign up so I think those must be starting tomorrow as well. This class is moving at the speed of light!
