After being inspired by Amber's video, and receiving the question's that Seth Dickens class had prepared for us, I've created a video introducing myself, my hobbies, and my knowledge of Italy.
At first I was going to use my boyfriends mac, which is what I used to make my tech task#9 project with, but since he had to use it, I figured out how to make one using Windows movie maker. It was actually quite similar to the design and set up of the mac, so it didn't take long to understand where everything had to go.
Also in preparation of this video, I used flickr to provide beautiful visual imagery. I had fun making this, but I also felt a little silly for the purpose of recording myself in my room, but like I said in my video, and I'll say it here: "I'm excited to expand my horizons."
Let me know what you think.
Ps: I wasn't able to include music for background noise because it would push my audio clips to the end of the song. Does anyone know how to have both playing at once?

Well done. With Movie Maker you are limited to one sound track. What I would do is take the movie you just made and load it as a new project that will leave you the audio track free to add music and be sure to control the volume level.
ReplyDeleteGreat video! *high five* I'm sure your mentorship students in Italy will love you.

Yes, you can do what Dean suggested. But another option is Audacity. I do all of my voice recording right on there and then save the track as my audio track (windows movie maker has an audio and an audio/music track) and then you can still have music in the background of your talking/videos. If you need more clarification (if you want to try that way next time) just let me know and I will help you through it.
ReplyDeleteThat was great. makes mine look pretty low budget.
ReplyDeleteDo you have anything else planned with that class from Italy ??
Yeah... he wants to skype but I'm not sure how that'll pan out.

Hi there Alex!
ReplyDeleteWow.. can't believe noone from my class has commented yet (it was their homework to leave a comment on your or Amber's blog.. anyhow.. just to let you know that the students loved your video last week. They were especially gooey about the photo of you and your boyfriend which brought a big "Aaahh che cariiinooo" or "Ahhh how cuuuute" into the class.
Thanks once again for the excellent job you did here. It's quite obvious that both you and Amber spent a lot of time and effort on your videos. It won't be forgotten. Our wiki-psychology pages will be great!
All the best,
Seth (In Italy)
