xtranormal.com reflection

For this task, we had to each create our own 2 min clip, based on something about school, (eg. School uniform, cyber bullying). From the topic we chose, we had to make a short clip that might be shown to the year seven students; and I chose to create a clip about school uniform.
It was fun making the script, as the characters just read out what you typed, but sometimes it sounds weird, because they can't really pronounce some words which are not in the dictionary. But adding the actions and camera angles were fun!

I had to be patient a lot of the times, because xtranormal takes FOREVER to load a preview, but I managed to wait in the end. I also had to wait a long time in the end when I was trying to publish the clip, but it took too long that I decided not to wait anymore. So right now I'm not very sure if I will be ever be able to let anyone see my work :'( which is a bit sad T_T (all my hard work gone).



This is what xtra normal looks like, and the loading clip in the middle happens to be mine (after 30min) T_T...if only it can play. However, I still enjoyed this task, even though it didn't work out.

Hope you'll have more luck at it loading. And if it does EVER load on you...please tell me!!! THANKS :)

wikispace presentation reflection

I did YouTube for my wikispace presentation. I thought it went alright, but I'm not very sure if i actually talked about everything that I should've said, but I hope everyone did enjoy it!

Making the presentation wasn't very hard; I had put many screenshots of YouTube to show everyone, and even went on the actualy site to show a clip. The clip name was 'Pokemon theme song', which was really funny (even for someone like me who doesn't like Pokemon). I enjoyed sharing what I have researched to the class, and hoped that they actaully understood what I said :).



I learnt that YouTube can be used not only as an online video sharing site, but also a place to interact with people all over the world. However, it is not always the best place to go, since there are many copyright issues of people uploading movies, and dramas, as well as racism and bad jokes in home made movies.
