What to do on Thursday January 28

> Remember: for Tuesday, create a draft of a video (draft = as much as you can get done, a useful start...), upload it to your blog or to YouTube. We'll work on it in class. Plus two more Diigo bookmarks.

> Look at one set of Diigo bookmarks.

> QuickTime or ... ? There is a useful help page for QT (access the help menu on the player). You can use other tools instead of QT, but talk to me about it first. Where to get materials? Take them with your camera, make them with your tools (Paint, Photoshop, etc.), find them online (Creative Commons search, etc.) ...

> Look at the example below. It includes still image, text (for this see presentation in blog post from last Thursday), video, sound, etc. Here is is put together ...
YouTube

Blog Upload

... and now I'll talk about taking it apart. (Tip: if you encounter problems uploading to YouTube, try to export into .mp4 format.)

> Return to blog posts about "previews/trailers"from Tuesday. Talk in groups about blog posts. Think of previews/trailers for a movie: they are typically 30 seconds to two minutes, and contain selections that tease and interest the viewer. They may be the most exciting, funny, dramatic, etc. selections. They are the headlines or "bullet points." Here is one preview/trailer site. Your preview/trailer must provide a thoughtful and interesting introduction to your topic.
