Video Editing has come a long way!

When I was researching for the task I have just reviewed, I came across some great videos edited in the latest software. This one is my favourite:

Initial Task

After our team presentation, I can now reflect on how I thought the presentation went. Firstly, I believe that we all got on fairly well as a team. However, not everyone was as active in the group and slowed the pace of the work at times.

We only met up a couple of times because of communication issues. There was some confusion in meeting times but they were resolved in the end. I feel that I contributed well in the meetings and expressed my thoughts to the group. I do however wish I helped with the timeline aspect; my role was to gather research on the task. I’m curious to start some work with Flash because I have only used it briefly in the past.
I used the internet for our research. I looked at a few videos on the subject on Youtube but we never added much of these points into the presentation. I also looked at an article on videomaker.com which went through the history of it. 

I think that the presentation went fairly well and the timeline we made in Flash turned out okay, although some images were fairly blurry in places. In hindsight I think we put too much effort into it by making a Flash animation just for the presentation. We should have used some video template from a video editing program and we still could have got the information across (maybe even more clearly). I suppose we didn’t understand the full intentions behind the creation of the task.

Welcome!

Hi, I'm Liam Fitzgerald and welcome to my blog!

The blog is going to be a Journal for my Communication Skills for Digital Media module. I will be updating it regularly with my thoughts from each session in the module. I will use a range of media to express my thoughts and hope my thoughts are well communicated in this blog. =)
