Movie Maker Reflection

Task

To create a movie for classroom instruction.

Over view

Movie maker is software that allows amateurs to created video presentations that look professional.
The piece I created is a summary for the unit on Intellectual Property and copy rights . It is a compilation of the main terms as a reflection for the students.

Classroom Application

In the classroom a video can serve many purposes at the beginning middle or end of a lesson. This video will be used at the end of the unit ( as the introduction for the last lesson) as reinforcement of the key terms that need to be considered in studying for the test and for everyday student life.

Challenges

1. The movie maker software that was on my system did not work because of an existing program that was hindering it. I still have not found that program . I had to solicit the help of a friend to uninstall and re install an older version of movie maker.
2.  I then had to save pictures after going through hundreds to find the appropriate ones for this exercise,
3. To get the audio I had to download several  down loaders which did not work. I then had to seek advice on how to download without a down loader  since none of the music in my files was appropriate for the piece.
4. The hours that it required to set the audio and video in perfect timing harmony were not available
5. My color blindness hindered the use of more appropriate colors or the keeping of as theme with the colors on the captions

Improvements

The transitions could be timed better with the music and the color of the captions on the pictures.
