Zoo! Reflection
By Keirsten


The process:
        How I created this movie was by photo story. The tasks that I preformed were getting all of the pictures and make sure that they are the ones that you want to do it on. I used the images of a Polar Bear. I enhance these slides by doing different animation on them and by making them do all different kind of things. The motion and transactions that I selected were the ones that flipped and turned, and did all different kind of things. The place were I got the music from was from my documents. The reason why I choose the music that I did was because i thought that it went with it very nicely. 

The purpose:
       The reason why i used photo story to make my movie was because i have used it before and i find it better to use. The unique thing about using this application is that it lets you crop the pictures the was that you want to crop, it also lets you add any defect to what you want to do. Yes it was easy to use because it is an easier way to make a movie.
          The purpose for putting this on Zoo page is because it shows what all the animals that we have here and yes they are very friendly. It shows that we have a lot of animals that the kids and families can come and see them with  out worrying about there kids getting hurt.

The possibilities: 
         The thing that worked well for this assignment is that I had everything already to go so I wasn't searching for it. The only thing that didn't work for this is some of the color affects. There could be a lot of things that could get added to this video. I probably could create another movie faster and easier with out a dought. The reason why is because i know were everything is at now so i can not ask any questions and make sure i am done with it and its very different then the one before. Yes I could teach a novice on here because it is not as hard as the other one was.

Process:
To make this video I used Animoto. I added pictures from my computer and chose and appropriate theme and music to make it more interesting. 

Purpose:
Animoto was a  very easy application to use.

Possibilities:
If I could I would use a different movie maker because there weren't very many things to choose from to make it "my own". I would use something that had more effects and I could edit more.

Zoo Reflection


 

 

Reflection (copy the text in this section)

Process

(delete this)  Photostory takes you through the process step by step and makes It very simple.  I picked an image and put different animations and transitions on it.  Images from Google.  It was on Photostory.  I got the music from iTunes because it was quick and easy.

Purpose

(delete this)  I have no clue.  It was part of the assignment. Text and pretty colorful letters.  It was an assignment.  It was calm and relaxing like me, Keith Stone.  I don't own an Inn, so I have no idea.

Possibilities

Photostory worked very well for the assignment because it was so easy to use.  Powerpoint didn't work well because I hate it and it sucks.  I wouldn't do it again because I didn't want to the first time.  Maybe.  Color. No cause I suck.   Nope.

~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~


Process: I created this zoo movie by using Photo Story. I added the same picture of a Zebra multiple times and added text and effects to each slide. I enhanced the slides using transitions and music along with the effects I added to the pictures. The music I have in this movie is from youtube and is an African song which I believe is appropriate since zebras are from Africa. I chose this type of music to make the movie a little more entertaining.

Purpose: We used Photo Story because it was an easy way to create a movie. It allowed us to use an image that we could crop and add effects to, to create a more appealing slide. This application allows you to record right along with the images. It also allows you to choose what sort of music you whether it's your own or the applications. I believe photostory is very easy to use because it has simple steps and very user friendly 

The purpose of putting a Zoo page on Snowed Inn is to show of one of the Inn's amenity, the Petting Zoo. It allows for the viewer to see facts about the feature animals at the zoo. I hope it shows a prospective visitor how much fun they could have at my Snowed Inn.


Possibilities: I think I could remake this and do it easier because I now understand the how to use the program. I also think I could show someone how to do this because I am confident that I know how to use photostory.

    Snowed Inn Zoo


                               
     Process:
    • I created the Zoo Movie  by using Photo-story. The task(s) I performed was, I kept inserting the same picture multiple times, and added effects to the images. The images that I used were dolphins from kids biology. I enhanced the slides by using animations and transitions to create an appealing effect to the viewers. I selected different transitions. I got the music from Photostory's database. I selected the music I did because it was peaceful just like dolphins. Also because it seemed to go good with my story.
    •  
       
    Purpose:
    • We used Photo Story to make this movie because it was easier to use to make animations and the slides were easier to make. The unique thing about using this application is, it lets you record right along with the images. Also it lets you use all kind of transitions and effects.
      The purpose of putting a Zoo page on Snowed Inn is, to show other cool things that Snowed Inn offers. It makes Snowed Inn look more creative. The appeal that my movie has on the prospective visitor at the Inn is, creative, colorful, and organized.  
    Possibilities:
    • Photo Story worked really well for this assignment. The timing didn't really work well. It was hard to time the slides just right. If I had to do it again, I would time the slides better. Also, I would add more effects. Other elements that could be added to this web page to enhance the content is, more slides and effects. I think I could create this again, faster and easier, because I already did it once and I understand it much better. I think I could train a novice to make this movie, since I'm the one who already made it. 

    Dalton's Animoto


    Process 
    The Process in making my video was rather easy. I used Animoto and followed the steps given on moodle. I first chose a random theme, which was. Then I added photos to my video, gave them transitions, and did some editing.

    Purpose The purpose was to use another different program for making videos. We need to have expexperience with multiple programs for the future.


    Possibilities


    I most likely will not use this program in the future unless I have to.
    Try our slideshow maker at Animoto.
     


    Process: I created my movie by going to Animoto. I chose a fun, funky theme. I added pictures of myself, my family, my friends- the people who mean the most to me! I added music, special effects & transitions, captions, & text! I got the embed code & put it on my site.

    Purpose: We made this video in Animoto to get the feel of a fast, 30 second video. It was super easy to use and took basically no time at all to put together. Being able to pick your own theme was a very cool, unique feature to Animoto!

    Possibilities: I think pictures of myself, friends, and family worked well for this project. It made my project unique and clearly identifiable. If I were to do it again I would try to put more pictures that had the same topic together, instead of just throwing pictures together. I would be able to do it much faster because I already know what I'm doing. I could train someone to do it easily!

    Animoto



    Make a video of your own at Animoto.





    Process:

    Making this video was fairly simple.  All I did was, I went on Animoto and followed the steps. First you pick a theme, you can pick anyone that you find goes with your images.  Then I added my pictures into the video.  After that it's whatever you want to do to make you video more appealing to viewers.  I added some text and a couple captions to help explain what the video was about.  That's really all you have to do, Animoto does the rest.

    Purpose:

    The purpose of making this video was to see how I could make a really cool video all on my own.  Making a video on your own sounds like it could be a challenge but Animoto was really easy to work with. It makes your videos look professional and and you can do it all by yourself!

    Possibilities:

    The possibilities that I will use Animoto again are high.  I saw how easy it was to make professional looking videos and it was fun as well.  I can show my friends and family how easy it is and I am sure they will love to use Animoto as well.

     Board Games

    By Keirsten 

     The process

         I used Photo story to create my movie. Then I went to Global and under Mrs. Rices then that's where I got my pictures from. Then the music that I got was from my documents. I select the music that i used was because it was calm and smooth and i know that it went with the photo's that i was using.

     The purpose:

           We used power point to make this video because we know how to work and do a lot of things on power point. Yes it is easier to use because it all is very simple on how to do things and make a lot of things with it just being anyone's first time doing it.  The purpose that we put the Galleria on the snowed inn page was because we can show everyone that things that we have to do and all of the fun things that we have at our hotel. The music that I used is from my documents. The reason why i choose this music was because it was relaxing and calm

     The possibilities:

           The things that worked very well with this assignment was that everything went into play when i was working on it. The things that didn't go o very well with this was when they didn't go with the topics that i was trying to put with it. It could be easier to do if they know more about the animal and there habitat. Yes i could remake this movie faster and easier if I really wanted to, because I know where everything goes and how it all goes together. I could very much train a novice on how to make a movie by doing this.

     

    Animoto - Abbey




    Process: 
    I used the website called Animoto.  I added pictures from my computer 
    and then chose a theme to go along with it.  I also added a song to make it more authentic. 
    I added text and my movie came out alright.

    Purpose: 
     It was easy to use and it was a fun experience.

    Possibilities: 
     if I were to use this again I would be more excited about it because I understand what to do now.  The transitions were ok, I would have used another movie maker..

    Animoto






    Animoto

    Make a video of your own at Animoto.

     Purpose
    The purpose of this was project was to learn a new way to make a video. We were able to use animoto and it was a really cool experience, animoto is a really nice program.


    Process
    The process I had to go through was I first had to sign up for a free Animoto account.
    I then had to pull in photos I already had saved to my drive, and arrange them into the order I wanted them and I edited and added captions to some of them. I also changed the music on it and made sure I liked the theme I had selected.


    Possibilities
    This project had lots of possibilities. I could have made a much longer video if I had used a paid for account. I also could have done a little more searching than I did for a theme. I also could use animoto for a different class project.

    Make your own slideshow with music at Animoto.
    • Title: Animoto movie
    • Label: Jonathan

    Process:

    I used Animoto to create this 30 second movie.I used random pictures that I had in pictures. I didn't have to enhance the slides myself Animoto did it for me.

    Purpose: 

     We used Animoto to make this movie because you can just put in pictures and it puts in the music and transition. I found it very easy to make the movie.

    Possibilities 

    Everything worked well for the assignment and nothing went wrong. I would do nothing differently. more movies could enchance the content. It was really easy to make the movie....

    Kristen Ferguson

    Process
    In Animoto, I created a video by picking a theme and adding multiple pictures! I put the pictures in a certain order to make it looks nice.. In Animoto I added a Title text, caption, and spotlight!! Then I added Music to fit the theme of my video! When i was done i processed my movie and embedded it into my Google site!


    Purpose
    The purpose of making this video in Animoto was to experience making a quick and easy movie!! Animoto was quick and easy to use because it was very precise on how to do something! 


    Possibilities
    If i were to do this again I could go about it differently and do it faster and quicker because I would know what to do right off the bat! I would recommend using Animoto because it is easy and the movie turns out great in the end! If I were to train someone to make a video off of Animtoto it would be really easy because it was so easy to understand!

    Galleria Reflection

    I used the worst applications, I used powerpoint and greenshot it was absolutely terrible because I hate technology, and PPT gave me a hard time.  I used the coolest images I could find on Google, just to get it over with.  I enhanced my slides with awesome copyrighted music, and cool tranisition and animations on the slide.  I picked the ones that made it fade in and out and stuff.  I got the music from the illegal music on my iPhone. I chose the music because it was free, and illegal.


    • Purpose

      • I used PPt to create this movie because Mrs. Rice told me to use it.  I put it on my website because that was part of the assignment.  I included text on my page to make sure you could see it and know it was there. The purpose of this movie was to get a good grade so I don't have to take Web Page for a 3rd time.  My movie was calm and relaxing because I am calm and relaxing person. I don't know what appeal means so I can't answer that question.

    • Possibilities

      • I worked well for this assignment.Powerpoint because it sucks.  I wouldn't cause I wouldn't do it again.  I dont know any other things you can use.  Pretty colors.  No cause I aint gonna do one again.  I could hardly do it myself so I aint gonna train no novice to do it.

    Check out the video Here:
    ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~
    Process
    I created this video by using Animoto. I used images involving water to show a relaxing scene.The music in this movie was used from the gallery in the Animoto website. I also chose the water theme to make it look all the more relaxing. For this I had to choose the images I thought would best go along with the theme, then I added some text. Finally I added music, I then watch the preview of the video after I thought it was satisfactory I published the video.
    Purpose
    We used Animoto because it was an easy to use website that allowed you to create a video by just using images. I found it interesting that once use chose a theme it created amazing effects to the images without having to do them yourself. This video also allowed for the viewer to get a perspective on a different type of vacation such as one on the water. Also the video shows the viewer the things they could see while on vacation, and some of these sights are quite stunning.
    Possibilities
    I think this project would have been better if I could have added more images and added a little more text, but other than that I thought it was overall a good video. now that I know how this website works it would be easier for me to create another video like this one.

    Animoto



    Process


    Making an Animoto video was extremely easy.  First you had to pick a theme that you like, then you can upload pictures or videos to the site.  If you don't want to upload any pictures, Animoto has a variety of pictures and videos that you can use.  You can also put text on your pictures and duplicate or rotate pictures.  Once your done with that, you can produce your video and your done!

    Purpose


    The purpose of making a video on Animoto is to give us an idea of what it's like.  Animoto is easy and quick to do.  Now I know how to use this video application and many other applications.  This application makes your videos look really cool.

    Possibilities 


    The possibility is that I probably will use Animoto again.  I really liked this application better than other ones.  This application is much easier and faster.  I will show my family and friends how to use Animoto.

    Animoto

    Process
    I created this project usuing animoto, an online application that will take photos and music that you choose and make your own movie. I enhance a few slides by spotlightinging them and adding captions.

    Purpose
    By using this application I was able to make a very shatrp looking vedio. Much better than I could make elsewhere.

    Possibilitys
    I would greatly recommend this video to anyone who wants and or needs to make a sort video. But any video over 30 secs there will be a fee involved. And also it would be very easy to tech a beginner.



    Try our video maker at Animoto.

    Animoto


    Process

    I created this movie using Animoto, an online application that will take photos and music that you choose and creates a very professional presentation for you. I used travel images that were available on Animoto to simulate a road trip slideshow. I enhanced a couple of slides by adding captions and spotlighting them.

    Purpose

    By using Animoto, I was able to create a very professional video that looked much better than if I had used PowerPoint.The professional effects really made the video pop.

    Possibilities

    Although Animoto is very professional, if you want to make a video longer than 30 seconds, there will be a fee involved.  Overall, it is very easy to use and I would definitely use it again.  Additionally, it would be very easy to teach a beginner how to use this program.




    Amenities


    ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

      Amenities



    Process
     I created the amenities movie by using PowerPoint. I created slides and placed images and information about amenities that my Snowed Inn offered. I used images that were of African safaris and Mt. Kilimanjaro. I used bright colors to enhance my slides and attract the viewers. I tried to use animations that were flash and caught the observers attention. I wanted to make the prospective guest have a strong urge to want to stay. 
    Purpose
    I used PowerPoint to create my movie because it is user friendly and gives more options for editing. I believe that it is easier to navigate and locate the proper tools for creating a movie.

    The purpose of putting an Amenities Page on Snowed Inn is to show the visitor what the Inn has to offer. My video is very energetic with vivid colors to attract the viewers eyes and enhance their interest in the Inn. This gives the prospective visitor a greater urge to want to stay.

     Possibilities

     PowerPoint worked really well for this movie. It was hard timing the titles just right. If I had to do this again, I would have added music. I could create this again, faster and easier because I already did it once. It was kind of confusing at first, but after the first slide it seemed to get easier. I could train a novice to make this movie since I already did it.

    Animoto




    Process 

    The Process in making this video was simple I used Animoto and all I had to do was follow the steps. First I had to pick a theme. Then I added pictures to my video. After I added the photo's in I added captions to each pictures, which made it easy to tell what the pictures were about. After I went through each step Animoto did the rest. 

    Purpose
    The purpose for making this video was so that I learned how to use Animoto At first I thought it was going to be difficult, but turned out to be a easy tool. My video was about tigers, I did it because we are the Maplewood Tigers. Animoto made my video look pretty good after I finished

    Possibilities 

    The Possibilities are that I will use Animoto again when I want to make a short picture video. It's an easy thing to do, and make the videos look quiet professional. I might show people this tool if they really want to make a picture video!

    Animoto


    Process:

      The video I created was on a website called animoto. I selected a theme and chose the pictures  to create this video.

    Purpose:

    By using Animoto, my video is professional looking. Animoto has very cool  transitions and effects that you will never find on Power Point or Photo Story. It uses professional looking effects to make people want to watch your video.
     

    Possibilities:

    Although Animoto is a good website, if you want more themes or a video longer than 30 seconds, you have to pay money.but other than that animoto is a very good site

    -Process
     
          I created this video by using the website http://animoto.com/. I used llama images from Google. I enhanced this movie by using spotlight and captions. I got the music from the music folder in Global. I selected this music because it went with the pictures well.


    -Purpose

          We used Animoto to make this movie because it was something different than what we usually use. It was by far my favorite application to use and it was definitely the easiest. This movie was very upbeat and it appeals to almost all people.  


    -Possibilities

          This assignment worked well because it was super easy and didn't take long to learn how to work it. It didn't work well when I tried to add even more pictures to my  movie because it wouldn't let me. If I were to create this again, it would be even better. And I would be able to train a novice on how to make this movie.

    Process:
      This video was made on a website called Animoto. I selected a theme and chose my own pictures to create this video.

    Purpose:
    By using Animoto, my video became very professional looking.Animoto doesn't just use boring old transitions and effects that you'd find on Power Point or Photo Story. It uses professional looking effects to make the video pop out more.

    Possibilities:
    Although Animoto is a very good website, if you want more themes and a video longer than 30 seconds, you have to pay money. Overall though, Animoto is a great and professional website.

    Make your own slideshow with music at Animoto.


    Process 
    The Process in making this video was very easy. I used Animoto and all I had to do was follow the steps. First I had to pick a theme. I could pick anyone that i thought was appealing. Then I added pictured to put in my video. After I added the photo's in I added text to the pics so that the text could help tell what the video was about. After I went threw all the steps Animoto did the rest. 

    Purpose
    The purpose for making this video was so that I was able to make a video on my own in Animoto. At first I thought Animoto was going to be difficult but it was truly  easy. My video was showed to tell about the animal I did BoomSlang and the Galleria I would have at my hotel. Animoto made my video look professional and it did.

    Possibilities 
    The Possibilities are that I am most likely going to use Animoto again. Now I can make more better and professional look video's. I am going to show many people this website because it has easy steps and anyone can follow them.

    *Process~~

    I created this movie using Animoto, an online movie maker.  I used photos from my own album.  
     Animoto put these photos into a slideshow with copyright free music.  The music I chose was in the most popular category.  I didn't have to really do much except put in the pictures I wanted.  Animoto did most of the work for me, although I did add a title and emphasized a photo as well by adding some quotes. 

    *Purpose~~

    By using Animoto for this movie it made it easy and very professional.  Unlike Photostory and PowerPoint, Animoto made the movie much much more professional-looking.  Also, Animoto was extremely easy to use, they did most of the work for you and even provided the music.  

    *Possibilities~~

    Animoto, of course, worked incredibly well for this assignment.  However, Animoto did not let a video play more than 30 seconds so it limited the amount of pictures I was allowed to have.  Also, when I added text it took away one or two of my pictures. I honestly would not do this project any differently, I love it they way it is.  I would love to create more movies with Animoto and I could do it much faster and easier the next time. I could also easily teach a new person how to create an Animoto video!!!

    ~Zoo~

    ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~
    Process: I created this zoo movie by using Photo Story. First of all I added the same picture multiple times added some effects to the images. I then added text to provide information about the animal chosen in the video. Once that was completed I put animation on each image to create an effect to make the video more interesting. The music I have in this movie was from the application Photo Story itself. I chose this type of music to make the movie a little more entertaining.


    Purpose: We used Photo Story because it was another easy way to create a movie. It allowed for us to use the same image over again and we could also crop the image down to how we wanted it to look. This application allows you to record right along with the images. It also allows you to choose what sort of music you whether it's your own or the applications. I believe this application was very easy to use because it pretty much guided you step by step. Also the purpose of putting a Zoo page on Snowed Inn is to show off a certain aspect of Snowed Inn. It allows for the viewer to see facts about an animals at the zoo. My video has a light air about it with some information about the animal in the zoo. I hope it shows a prospective visitor how much fun they could have at my Snowed Inn.


    Possibilities: I think I could remake this and do it quicker because now I understand the program. I also think I could show someone how to do this and that it would be quite easy.

    The Purpose:
         The purpose of making this video is so we can learn how to make videos in many different ways.

    The Possibilities:
          the possibilities of this movie was very easy. I would be able to make a lot more movies with Animoto. I could make some very great movies with all different background displays with different pictures.
