Animoto- Lauren

Try our slideshow creator at Animoto.

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

I used PhotoStory to create the Zoo movie.  I used images and got information from Kid's Biology. I enhanced the slides by using different animations and transitions to make it better to watch and added music to it. Then, I converted it to a WMV file and uploaded it to YouTube.

We used PhotoStory to make this movie. It was pretty easy to use. We put a Zoo page on Snowed Inn to make viewers want to visit the Snowed Inn Zoo. The movie is interesting and shows what the zoo has to offer.

PhotoStory was easy to use but I liked using PowerPoint better. PowerPoint has more animations and transition effects to choose from and I think it makes it look a little more organized. It would be easy to show someone how to use this application.

Amenities

 To create the Amenities Movie I created a power-point on Microsoft PowerPoint. I used images that went with the different amenities that the "Snowed Inn" offers. I enhanced the slides by choosing different animations and transition effects and added music from Clip-Art.  Then, I converted the PowerPoint to a WMV file and uploaded it to YouTube. 
We used PowerPoint to make this movie because it's easy to use and can be converted to a WMV file easily. We put an Amenities page on Snowed Inn to show the different activities offered at the Snowed Inn. My movie was upbeat and energetic and drew the viewer in by showing the fun things you can do while staying at the Snowed Inn.
The whole assignment worked well, I wouldn't do anything different. I thought it was fast and easy to do. It would be easy to explain to someone who didn't know what they were doing.

Find and Subscribe?

On iTunes it was very easy to find and subscribe to podcasts. Everything was categorized and had an easy to find "Subscribe" button. On other Podcast Directories like Podcast Pickle they were harder to find and subscribe to, in order to subscribe you had to find the link and paste it into iTunes which wasn't always easy to do.
