rough of project 2

So far I only have sound and pictures; I have not added any text as of yet. I wanted to use as many of my own photo's as possible, but I need to pull other photos together to flow with the music.
Not really sure of the text I want to add. I could just tell the story of how the trip came about, the places we visited, and stayed etc. in that case I will have to move some photos around.

Reflection for sound poem

I wasn't sure what to do with this little project (as I still haven't figured out project 2 yet), but surprisingly enough I ended up with another Emily Dickinson poem. I found audacity rather easy to play with after reviewing a tutorial on it. It is a rather nice, free program that I wish I had more use for. I need to play around with recording more. There was some noise I could not seem to get rid of, as well as, learning about volume levels. I hope overall, that I understood the expectations of the instructor. I am looking forward to learning more about movie maker, since it is yet another free program that I have on my PC. When I have extra time ??? I'll look into more of these free software offers, and hopefully be able to better utalize them. I am really glad that I am actually learning something beneficial in a class!!!!

Sound poem for 9/24

ideas for project 2

I'm not really sure what to do for project 2. I am wondering what kind of thing to write, what kind of images to use, and how it will all work together. I will need to keep in mind something short that has some kind of story line. I have several of my own images that I would like to use, so I will need to take some time to think of the audio and text to use.

Link to second project

This is the link to my second project

9/16 post

The Cape seemed to have sequential writing and, I thought, simplification. The windows were pretty simple drawings/pictures/maps that told a story. I guess it also included time frames. Pictures opening within pictures to help the story along.
Entre Ville had more closure and sequential writing than did The Cape, and I got more from the Entre Ville. It seemed more complex, as well as, having more of a story to tell.

Final project 1

This is my final project 1.

Preface project 1

Overall I like the way project 1 turned out. I was finally able to resize the images so they wouldn't have the "stacked" look. While in class we were talking about using different poets, and this E.D. poem came into mind. I've always liked it because it is a little different, and I thought of the idea of word play and the pictures might work well together. I also took advice of slowing down the transition so it was easier to read.

First attempt at project 1

Here's my presentation

Project 1

I finally completed project 1, but I have not had any luck uploading it to my blog. It took some trial and error, and I didn't get the project to turn out how I really imagined it, but I came close to having a finished product I was happy with. I wasn't able to resize the photos, or have them hide when the new layer appeared, so the images are noticeably stacked. However, I finally figured out how to edit the timing so it would flow. I'm not sure why my project would not upload correctly. I saved it as an animation and a gif image. I received a response that it had posted, but it was no where to be found. I've downloaded it to a jump drive to bring to class, so I can get assisstance getting it to my blog.

ideas for project 1

I would like to have some animation to go with the poem from Dickenson, I heard a fly when I died, so I'm hoping to learn how to do this today.

Creating webpages

I am really excited to learn how to make animated webpages. I virtually know nothing of the concept, the programs used, and I especially didn't know that Office could be used for this. I really hope I am able to get a firm understanding of how these programs work together in order to successfully complete the class. If so, I feel this is one of the most beneficial classes that I have taken at WVU. The first project I posted seems pretty lame, but I have some ideas for animation once we learn how that is done.

about first project

I'm not really sure how I am going to complete this first project, or what it is I will be writing about. I'm still a little confused. Hopefully I will have more of an idea how to complete the project once we go through putting it together with power point.
