Today I was able to get my project done. Next class I will export it as a movie. I was able to add more subtitles, the music, that I got help with, and some immages. The music was hard for me but I asked people and they helped.

Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Today I made more subtitles and some transitions. I still do not understand how to put music in the background and I will try to get some from my home. I also tried to get some information on how to make the pen off of websites.

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Today I put more subtitles on my video. I still need to add an introduction and an ending along with credits. I still need to find out how to get background music to add onto the parts that have subtitles and no speaking. I will also try to do a voice over.

Monday, April 27, 2009

Today I was able to get some of the subtitles done for my how to project done. At first it was difficult to find them and to understand how they worked, but after a while of tampering with it I understood a little bit of how it worked. Next class I will bring in some type of music on a USB and try to put tit on this computer for my project.

Thursday, April 23, 2009

Today I got to cut many parts that I did not want for my video. I also found out how to fast forward the clips that I wanted to go by fast. Next class I hope to do a voice over and put sub titles on the bottom of the screen for the parts that have no talking. I will go home and try to get some music to put on my video for background music.

Friday, April 17, 2009

In class I was able to get my videos converted and placed into a new folder on my desktop so that I would be able to put them onto Adobe Premiere. I then imported the videos and put them in order. I muted the videos that needed voice overview so that no sound would be heard in the background. The time for this project has been extended so I will be able to work on it some more. Next class I will get more of my video done.

Thursday, April 16, 2009

Today I took my videos and put them on to a USB so that they could be converted, so that I could use them for my how to video. Next class I hope to get some of my video done and edit some of it. I will try to come in to catch up and get ahead of where I am.

Today I was able to get some more of my music video done. Today I found out that I already have the amount of seconds needed for this project. I edited the video some and tried to make a countdown. Next class I will try to make a countdown and I will add different effects to it too. I will also try to make it a bit shorter.

Tuesday, March 31, 2009

Friday, March 20, 2009

Today I was able to get some more of my music video done and I was able to get the beginning done, which was tricky at first. I also was able to figure out what I was going to do for the end of my video. Next class I will not work on this, but I will be either working on my how to video, or my paper. I hope to at least get the first paragraph of my paper done. ♥☺☻☺♥

Today I was able to figure out how to make the touch pen. I drew a sketch of how the pen should be made. I put the wires together and looked through the camera to make sure that the light worked. I also found out that we will be presenting our project to other people and need to write an essay.

Monday, March 16, 2009

Today I was able to take my second marker and take the insides out. I was also able to make a hole in my second marker to make sure that the button would fit in properly. I got the materials needed to make the second pen and I tried to put everything together.

Thursday, March 12, 2009

Today I finnished my first pen and I was able to record myself using the pen to operate the touch screen. I found working with the wires rather hard because I had to get them all to fit on to things and fit inside of the pen. I hope that next class I will be able to record myself making my next pen and get it to work without many problems.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Today I was able to film some more of our toch screen project. I was able to film the part where I take the marker apart and clean out the inside. I also made a hole in the marker and place a button inside. Next class I hope to put the wires in the marker and the light.

Monday, March 2, 2009

Today I was able to get the first part of our new project done which was where we recorded the materials that we were going to use to make the LED pointer. In our next class I hope to take the pen apart. I believe that the most difficult part will be the editing on the computer.

Thursday, February 26, 2009

Today I got to finish some more of my clips on Adobe Premiere done. I also got to see what some other people did to give me a better understanding on what I have to do. I found out that I need to put a counter in my video which will take up some time on my video. Next class I will try to but some different effects in my video and work with the music.

Today I was able to get some more of my Illustrater project done. I have still have a difficult time with fallowing the instructions and understanding them. I now understand a bit that it works in a way similar to photoshop, and hopefully that will give me a better understanding on how to use it. I hope to get passed this project next class period, and learn how to use Illustrater better.

Today I learned more about what we would be doing for our Wii project. We made a ilst of what materials were needed. I am very excited about this Wii project because I will help make a touch screne, and I have never done that before. Illustrater is still verry frusterating for me because it is difficult to understand and very simalar to photoshop.

PT2kdurkin

In this semester of PT2 I hope to learn how to use Ilustrater better and get a better idea on which ways I can make it usefull in my life. I also hope to use flash more and create longer and more creative videos with it. The touch screen that we will create with a wii remote also intrests me. I want to use Photo Shop in this course too because it is very similar to Illustrater but I have a better idea on how it works, and I have more fun with it. I hope to learn how to work new and different systems in this semester of PT2, and hope to improve on things I had trouble with last semester.
