Evaluation

My multimedia poetry didn’t completely turn out the way I thought and planned it would. The poem itself lasted for about 2 minutes but I added a cartoon at the beginning and the end so it lasted for about 4 minutes. The images were in high quality, the resolution was good. I used three fonts as planned but I used more colors, about four. I used instrumental music and just as images it suited the poem well. As for transitions and effects, I used more than four because I thought the whole multimedia will look better and not boring. As planned I put two lines per slide. And of course at the end I put credits.
So the program I used was Windows Movie Maker. First step was to import all the pictures I downloaded from google (deviantart.com), videos downloaded from Youtube and music also downloaded from Youtube (lion King- To Die For) from mminicstorage. Then I chose pictures that best fit the two lines on the slide. When I put all the images and typed the lines I chose transitions between the videos and effects for the text. Then I took a part from the Tom and Jerry cartoon and placed it at the beginning (before the poem ) and at the end (after the poem), in order to make the video more interesting. Finally, I wrote the credits listing the images, videos, music as well as the author (me)… when I finished with the poem, I gave it to couple of people who told me what to change. For example I had to change colors on couple of slides because it was not readable and to make the slide longer so that people have enough time to read it.
At the presentation, everything went well I think, though some slides were still difficult to read, because of the projector that projected the picture high, and the light was bad so some text couldn’t be read well. If a spent more time on this, the poem would be better, I could maybe use some other pictures but most importantly I would change the poem and make it more interesting because this one was very simple and sad. Otherwise I am satisfied with what I’ve done even though it could have been better.
To conclude I followed the plan to a point, the poem was better than it would have been if I followed the plan completely, I made a test before the presentation to see if anything should be changed, still it could have been better if I only worked more, though I am satisfied.

I'm sorry!!!!

I forgive you!!!!

PLAN

PLAN
6 May, 2009- finish writing plan, find pictures and clips on net
12 May, 2009- start working on Multimedia Poetry- first and second stanza
22 May, 2009- third and fourth stanza
28 May, 2009- finish the whole project, add music

For this project I will use Windows Movie Maker program. I will have to use different transitions for the slides and various effects for pictures, slides and fonts. In order to make pictures better or to add some effects or details I will use Photoshop.

Design

Video effect: not every slide will have a video effect. It depends on the pictures/ video and the text effect.
Video transitions: Fade, Inset up right, Inset up left, Reveal down, Split horizontal, Wheel 4 spokes, Wipe (down, right), Circle, Dissolve
Music: one song or just music for the entire thing

Testing the MMP

Before you start doing your Design, you should devise appropriate test for your MMP. How would you know that your MM poem is effective and of appropriate quality?

I would show my MMP to others and ask for their opinion. Then I would make changes according to people's advices.

Design Specification

- Poem approved by Mrs. V
- Time: 1 min minimum, 3 min maximum
- Images and videos in high quality; copyright; pictures suit the lyrics of the poem
- max three fonts for the whole video and not more than three colors
- sound: a song or just music
-transitions should contribute to the video (not too distracting), not more than four transitions for the whole video
- effects same as above
- one or two lines per slide
- at the end of the video credits (videos, music, pictures, DT and English classes)

Multimedia poetry
Video poetry is a mixed media format in which poem, image and sound interact symbiotically. A well integrated poetry video strives to achieve a unity of mood with each factor enhancing the other so the synergy is more effective than the poem or image presented separately. The highly condensed nature of the poem provides the ideal scenario for a short film or video. Good video poetry integrates poem, image and music into a unified work of art.

Apology, Forgiveness & Breakup

I'm sorry that i hurt you,
Fro all the pain i put you through,
But now, i can't go back
To the way it all was before.

This was not what i meant to do,
And all i want you to know
Is i have loved you all along
And i wanted you to stay.

I know i'm not a perfect person,
And there are many things i would change,
Still you say that it's okay,
That i never meant you harm.

You're ready to forgive me,
And ready to start over,
But it feels so much easier,
Knowing you're not around
To get hurt by me, again.

hmmm......???

What is "Web 2.0"?

The term "Web 2.0" refers to a perceived second generation of web development and design, that aims to facilitate communication, secure information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and applications; such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies.

so cute...:))
