Personal
Reflection:
After having prepared the projects and completing the class on this subject,
I feel that I am much more aware of what can be incorporated into my multimedia
class that I have been leaving out. Through the music editing and multimedia
production it is easier for me to see how the TEKS and activities can
impact student attitudes about this subject.
I definitely
feel that I am walking away with much more knowledge about sound files
and multimedia production than I had when I first started this class.
This has been an incredible class for me.

Title: Star
Wars Movie and Sound Integration Product
Course: 103 Multimedia
Date Created: March 5, 2003
Source: Personal knowledge and
Media: Acoustica MP3 Editor software, ULead Visual Studio, Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX
Description: In the activity of the video and sound integration, we were required to prepare a web page for a target audience (mine was Star Wars fans) and make it persuasive to draw attention to the movie/TV show. In the production of this page we were to include a sound file related to the movie/TV show that we created using special sound editing software in an earlier activity. We were also required to include a movie clip related to the movie.
The entire product was to include links to outside sources concerning the same movie, enhancing the content of the web page. We were required to also keep in mind the theme of the page for the production of the web page.
In the final product, we included a timeline of our activities and thought processes as well as a storyboard for the multimedia production that we included with the sound clip. This could have been a Shockwave presentation or a movie presentation. Either way, it was meant to enhance the final product of the page by providing more interesting content and pushing the final theme to a new level.
Rationale:The reason that I chose to include this particular activity for this artifact was because I was able to participate in and conduct the following activities through the entire production process:
- aquire, edit, mix, and publish sounds,
- aquire, edit, mix, and publish videos for the web,
- aquire, edit and publish images for the web,
- prepare and keep track of a timeline to present the production process to fellow classmates,
- plan a multimedia presentation using a storyboard and applying the storyboard theme and ideas to produce a final product,
- prepare a multimedia presentation
using video, sound and concepts prepared and outlined in the storyboard,
design and format a web page to include the introduction page, a sound page, a video page, a timeline page, and a storyboard page, - provide proper credit for image, sound and video resources used on the internet,
- prepare links to access outside web pages as well as those product related pages,
- embed sounds and video in a web page to present to people on the internet,
- publish and test the final product to ensure that all links and multimedia products work,
- present the final product to my teacher and fellow students for feedback and suggestions.
Implications for future:After preparing this activity I am aware that I have enjoyed this more than any other subject that we have covered. This is definitely an area that I feel I excel in and would very much like to study more. In the direct future, I would like to devote more time to creating multimedia and sound products that I can include in class projects as examples for my students to use.
I hope to grow more in the area of sound file knowledge because there is so much that I have yet to grasp. I do understand most of the simple files but I would very much like to become knowledgeable about most sound file types as well as being able to edit and manage them.

Mary-Dawn Hudspeth(TATC Participant) "Your entire
project is beautiful! The sparkling black background with the striking
images make for a gorgeous web site. I was especially taken by the video
and sound that you created! What a feat! I am so impressed. I don't think
you need to take the video course. You are awesome!" (3/12/03)
