Description:
In this assignment, I
was to create a photo album of my life, which
could combine family, work, a collection of
various pictures, or just a hobby. It
required a minimum of two pages, consisting of
an introduction (splash) page and a page with
all other required criteria. The criteria
required included 5-10 pictures, a video that
went with the theme, a brief description of the
pictures, a summary of bitmapped and/or vector
graphics, the presentation photo album, a
credits section, and any extra features to
enhance the web page.
Due to the fact that my
family is so "aggie" oriented, I
decided to title my photo album "An Aggie
Family". I found various family
pictures dealing with Texas A&M University
and scanned them into the computer. I did
any editing on them using Photoshop. I
also went to the Internet and found some clipart
pictures dealing with aggies. I then took
all of these pictures and created a photo album
using PowerPoint.
I then used SWISH to
create the animation for my splash page and
incorporated it all into a web page using
FrontPage. Finally, I found some video
footage I took of the Texas A&M Corp of
Cadets marching down Congress Avenue in
Austin. I edited this video using iMovie
and incorporated it into the web page for the
final interactive Internet photo album.
Rationale:
This assignment
incorporated various elements of the multimedia
class. It included creating animation,
editing digital graphics, web authoring,
creating a presentation, and incorporating
video.
I included this
assignment, therefore, because I felt it proved
that I could apply the knowledge I have in these
areas to create a multimedia product
successfully. I successfully incorporated
all of the various elements required to complete
this product. I felt I had little
knowledge in many of these areas before taking
the TATC classes. However, with this
assignment, I feel that I am able to prove how
much I have gained from this class and my
previous classes. The most important
element I feel I learned upon completion of this
product is how easy it is to create a product
that incorporates many different elements.
As I look back, I now see that a majority of my
assignments for my students incorporate one
element at a time. Through this
assignment, I have learned that I need to show
the students how important it is to incorporate
more than one element (when necessary) to create
a successful and impressive
product.
As for my goals, I feel
that I met a majority of them when completing
this assignment. For example, I did not
stress too much with this one. I actually
found it to be rather fun and something I would
enjoy doing in my spare time! I also feel
that I completed this assignment to the best of
my ability and I plan to use the knowledge I
gained during instruction to my students.
One goal that I know I need to work on is
bringing some of this knowledge to other
teachers in my school. I know that many of
them need training on the various areas of
multimedia.
Implications for
Future:
This assignment was
very encouraging for me. It showed me how
to incorporate many elements into one multimedia
product successfully. Until now, I have
had my multimedia students create products based
only on one area of multimedia. I now see,
however, how easy it is to come up with one
theme and incorporate that theme into various
multimedia areas, then bring the products from
those areas together for a final multimedia
product.
I plan to use a version
of this assignment as a final exam in my
multimedia class. I would, however, also
incorporate sound editing into it when using it
as a final exam. I feel that this is the
perfect way for students to not only show the
elements they have learned throughout the year,
but to also still be able to incorporate their
own creativity. I feel that this would be
an exam that the students would excel on and not
feel the burden of test pressure!
My goals for the future
with this assignment is to take it and make a
few changes that would help it become a final
exam. I also will need to make it work
with the software, hardware, etc. that we have
available at our school. Finally, I need
to take the product I created and add some sound
editing so the students will be able to see an
example fits with what they are required to
incorporate.
Reviewer's Comments:
I really enjoyed
viewing your photo album. Did you go to
A&M??? Duh!!! I can't tell who you cheer
for!!! The collie is beautiful, is she yours?
You did a great job!! I can tell you have a

me a lot about your family. The over all project

Description:
During the first week
of the 103 Multimedia class, I was to inform my
classmates of my favorite song, movie,
commercial, music video, 3D movie, or other
multimedia production. For that
assignment, I chose the movie The Little
Mermaid. Later, during the last
two weeks of the class, I worked on an
assignment that required me to create a
multimedia product around that movie.
I was to create an
entire multimedia product that targeted a
specific audience of my choice and
"sold" that movie to the
audience. In other words, I was to
persuade my audience to watch my favorite
movie. The actual criteria for the
multimedia product included a storyboard,
timeline, integration of the sound we had edited
in a previous assignment, integration of a video
clip, link to a site related to the movie,
content that was persuasive in nature, credits
for the presentation, and a summary of my target
audience.
For this assignment, I
used FrontPage to develop a web site containing
all required elements. I used the Internet
to find graphics, sound files, and a video clip
that would enhance the feeling of the
site. I used PageMaker to create the
storyboard and timeline and PhotoShop to create
a unique background for the site. For my
sound, I found three separate files on the
Internet and edited them using Blaze Audio's
Wave Creator. In the end, I produced a
professionally looking site that hopefully
persuades some to see The Little Mermaid.
Rationale:
The movie integration
web site is a well-rounded multimedia
product. It incorporates sound editing,
video, desktop publishing, and digital graphics
into one final presentation medium.
I included this
assignment because I felt it showed improvement
on my part when it comes to certain aspects of
multimedia. Before the sound editing
project that went along with this assignment, I
had done very little in the way of taking sounds
and changing them. In addition, I had
never used the software I used to complete the
editing of the three sound files. However,
I do feel that I have gained a tremendous amount
of knowledge in this area and was glad to be
able to include it in this movie integration
presentation. In addition, I also felt
that this presentation shows my ability to
create a multimedia product that incorporations
many of the technology application areas.
I really enjoyed this assignment and felt that
it could easily persuade the young at heart to
venture "under the sea!"
Implications for
Future:
I actually took this
this entire assignment and used it in my
multimedia class. Due to the fact that our
school does not currently provide a sound
editing software package, I had my students
complete a review of a sound editing software
package they found from research on the
Internet. I then had them download the
demo and use that to edit sounds dealing with
their favorite movie or TV show. I had
them create a web page integrating their edited
sound and a video clip. Finally, just as
in our assignment, they had to make their
presentation persuasive in nature. They
really seemed to enjoy this assignment not
really realizing until the end that they were
integrating the various technology application
area.
My goal for my
multimedia class is to be able to have my
district purchase some sound editing software
that can be used not only in my multimedia
classes, but also my other technology
applications classes. On the personal
side, I need to continue to learn about sound
editing and become more comfortable with the
topic. This will not only help in my
classes, but also as I continue to master the
art of technological
presentation.
Reviewer's Comments:
Good color coordination
and graphic choices. Clearly directed to
younger audience (than Coan's Mail Call site.
Ha! Ha!) I remember wanting to go back and
see the movie more times than my kids wanted to
go! One of my favorites. Good job!
