I don't know when I am going to be free to Skype, so I wanted to go ahead and write to you. I can tell you worked really hard on your video! I don't know how you got those people to say exactly what you wanted; you must be a really skillful questioner! I know this was your first video, so I hope you don't mind if I give you some suggestions. I am not at all an expert, so you can feel free to ignore them or whatever! Ok, so my idea is that you might want to think about using a program like iMovie to create your movies. Programs like this allow you to make fun transitions between your scenes, add images and voiceovers, or even words on the screen super-imposed over the video. Like, when those two male students are talking, you can have key words that they are saying float across the bottom of the screen. iMovie also allows you to edit tiny clips of your videos, so you can break up longer clips and keep things moving along. If there is an Apple store near you, you can ask them for a tutorial, assuming you use a Mac, which I guess I shouldn't assume, I am just blinded by my love of iMovie! Anyways, you look lovely in your video and it was very well-researched and congrats on finishing it!!
ReplyDeleteJacquelyn,
ReplyDeleteI thought it was interesting your video was over 17 minutes long - our section had a time limit of 5-6 minutes. I like how you focused on social presence.
I wanted to address both comments in one.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I interviewed and did my presentation with a flip video camera. I had intended on uploading the videos into microsoft movie maker. When I tried to upload the videos they would not upload. When I finally got them to upload the movie maker program would not allow me to edit the videos. I resorted to using the flip video movie maker which did not have the frills and bells to make transitions,add background,or add text as captions. It was a very plain and uniteresting movie making program. The slide at the beginning was the only text it would allow and I could not change the black background color.
Second, although the assignment stated make a 5-6 minute presentation it did not state that we should limit the presentation to those exact minutes. Yes, my video was a little long but without the capability to add captions and edit I needed to capture the content of what social presence was all about. The interviews that I conducted on both groups were over 60 minutes long. I chose the best content and 17 minutes was not bad. Had I been able to exclude me and only insert my voice the video would have come in at the right minimum amount for the presentation. As Dr. Moller and I communicated back and forth we both agreed that I was not going to win a award for the presentation but this is not a production course. I believe we both had a chuckle. I hope this addresses both comments. I appreciate the feedback.
Jacquelyn,
ReplyDeleteI think that your content is great and covers the topic in detail. My concern is that as an introduction for a keynote speaker you may have gone into too much detail. Also, it may be long for an introduction as well. I know that it can be challenging to find a balance between covering a topic in enough detail, without leaving the critical parts out.
Jacquelyn,
ReplyDeleteMy video was also over the time limit, but I think the same way as you do. Even though I shared enough information regarding my topic, the keynote speaker is well introduced and covers the topic without giving out vital information that was left to the keynote speaker.
I think you did a great job. I would not have thought it was your first attempt at making a video, had you not said so. I also think that the detailed introduction serves an educational purpose. I am glad you gave me the opportunity to learn about social presence.
