Today we started the day by finishing out movie. My group actually came in two hours before class and finished it. If I do say so myself, I think we did a pretty good job. After that when class started we went into making the short trailer videos on the iPad. I had a group of four and we did a video of environmental man. All four of us were in the movie though. The movie didn't turn out too bad for only having thirty minutes to complete it.
After the iPad trailers were finished, we went into starting out Google Earth project. We learned how to pin a location and add a picture, and link that went along with it. Also we leaned the coding for how to add page breaks, and added that as well. I started mine, but did not finish and we were a little short on time. I think I am going to choose five places I have visited around the world and tie that all in together. It should be really cool when I am done and I get to make the actual tour. I will have to finish at my house and turn it in later.

Today we started the day by finishing up our photoshop project and uploading it on to flickr. After that we started right into making a video and learning about various videos that are used in an education setting. We watching two videos that students from other school have made in the past and we analyzed them. We said what we like and the reactions that we got from them. One was good and showed how video making and technology can change a students life and give them something to be involved in. The second video was rather busy and had great points that not everyone learns by teachers lecturing at them.
Next, we got into groups and figured out what the main point of our video is going to be. My group chose to do the idea of recycling and focusing on Oregon itself. We decided we are going to do some interviews and add pictures, then finally do a video of us in an ocean...if it all turns out okay. We now are going to start our filming and finding pictures to add to the imovie.
We found some powerful pictures of fish stuck in plastic and plastic bottles that are filling up landfills. We are now going to interview people on our own time and come back later and put everything together. We want to video outside but are going to regroup at a later time when it is nicer outside and we are able to get better footage.
Today my group got a lot done, but we have a long way to go and will regroup next week and finish the project to make it complete and as good as we can make it.

Today we started by looking at some pictures of different people on the big screen, and trying to identify if they were real or photoshopped. It was very challenging to figure out if it was a real or fake photo. With the skill of many people they can make fake photos look real.
After that, we started to find the the three pictures that we wanted to put together to make one outstanding photo. That seemed like a really easy task to complete, but I was wrong and I struggled a lot more that I thought I would. I finally found some photos that would go together and make the final product look half way descent.
It took a long time for me to figure out where I wanted to put my bush and how light/dark it should be to blend in okay. Once the bush was in place I added the plane and did not have to do too many adjustments with that. Last, I added the words and changed the font at the top to figure out what one would go best. I chose to leave the letters black to stand out and it looked more professional to me. The final product was then changed to a JPG and uploaded to flickr.
The project was more complicated than I had originally imagined, but I think I worked through the struggles okay. It was very stressful at first when I had a lot of information thrown that me and I was overwhelmed. Overall though, I think it turned out okay and I have better knowledge of how to work photoshop.
