Assignment 12.2

This model I tried to shot my storyboard, and it challenged my thinking of making video. During the producing, I met three difficulties.

First issues was choosing an appropriate video angles and lighting. I hope my video can use nature light so that my painting color will be more real than under the lamp. Also, I used two angle to make different focus point, so audiences could follow it easier. 

Second issues was keeping pace with painting process. My speak sometimes could keep pace with my painting process, and that would cause awkward silent in my video. Also, I often forget what I need to say during the painting because I don't speak a lot when I paint. Thus, I simplified my speech and skipped some painting process, so I could move on the next step. Also, I add some subtitles into my video, so audiences could know where I was saying. 

Third issues was editing video. When I record my video, some noises also were recorded, so I really hope to find a way which can reduce the noises but doesn't hurt my voice. Also, I hope to find the way to compressed video into smaller size without loss of quality because my video is blurry now, but my original video is clear. Is that usually happened in video editing? 

Here is my homemade video: Art Element: Values

Assignment 11.2

I'd like to use video in my future class, but I often use video from public recourse. This is first time I write a storyboard, and I spent a lot of time to select an appropriate topic to shot with my existing material. In storyboard, I use computer to draw the draft of values, but I think I could use pencils or oil color to express it, and that will be more visual to see how value works in the drawing or painting. Also, this topic is easy to do in my home or classroom, so I prepared to shot it.

Video can challenge our education approach. Massive online courses start quickly and bring tremendous impact and changing to the traditional education. Teaching object is changed from the minority learners to global learners, from individual teaching to collaborative teaching. Teaching method is changed from the step-by-step curriculum system to the individualized and autonomous learning. Digital video is so popular in class teaching process, and students changed from small class learning to global social collaborative learning. teaching improvement based on the traditional evaluation to based on data analysis. Now, it is the time of educational revolution.

I recommend this video: Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education

Assignment 10.2

This week, I tried to produce my podcast of musical instrument, and I have to say it was a big challenge for me because I doesn't use Apple computers, so I need to find another way to produce it. Finally, I chose Corel VideoStudio to create my podcast. This software is great for video making, and I spent a lot of time to learn how to edit my pictures and record on different track. It provides some amazing effects, and I used one of them, but the video is blurry when I conveyed it to mp4 form, and I don't know why. Also, I worried about my pronunciation, so I recorded it many times. I hope it is clear, but it still have some noise, and I think this is the biggest problem which every podcast need to reduce. 

In the podcast, I introduced the five different types of musical instrument. I like music, and I play piano, so I am interest about the musical topics. I would like to share some basis music knowledge with others. Here is the link of my podcast on Youtube. Hope you like it. XD

Assignment 9.2

This model we learnt a new media called podcast, and I think it is a revolution of communication. I think the most significance of web2.0 tools of the Internet is they build a wide platform for internet users to speak and share, so it transforms the audience from the information recipient producers to the disseminators. In the visual field, blog allows everyone can freely express their views and images. When the podcast was born, that means that the network logs becomes from silent to vocal. Information won’t be limited by visual area, and it had have taken the step for diverse media from the expression of three-dimensional images or text to express a combination of audio and video stage. This is an auditory revolution.

I haven’t used or view podcast before, but I like to listen the audiobooks. Those stories are fascinating, and I could just lie on the bed and hear the voice from iPad or iPhone. That is a relax way to accept those information, and it could also be used in teaching. Also, I think podcast focus on the individual and reflect personality. Many podcasters made their own discourse sounds which completely different from the traditional rules, and they feel joyful and satisfied of creative freedom through uploading video files to share with others. 

Also, remember how to be a successful podcast, we need achieve those aspects:

l.  appropriate subject and matching music

lI.  a short lecture or explanation, should be in 20 mins

lII  good sound quality

Vl.  images changing consistently
