Week 10 - Multimedia Authoring - Class Review

In week 10 lecture session we covered the Windows Movie Maker and the Adobe After Effects.

We were assigned a task to create a short stop motion video, with the lecture Mr Matthew helping us along the process through the projector demonstration. We created an approximate of 20 images of Adobe Photoshop which we have learned before in the syllabus. The whole idea was to create a video that somehow simulates that a ball is being dropped on the floor from a distance and when it touches the surface of the floor its breaks into pieces that scatters all over the screen. We then transferred these images to Windows Movie Maker, so that we could modify the time duration of each picture and produce effects of a ball getting broken as much realistic as possible. So the images were added to timeline. Effects such as earth quake were incorporated into the video to make the ball produce an earthquake effect when it touches the surface of the floor. We also learned how to make layers move in Adobe After Effects and how to save them on the timeline.
