The Last Stages Of Completion

Our teacher looked through each of our blogs and gave us our current grade and how we can improve them, above is a list of things I have to do. I have to do them before wednesday because that's our deadline.

To do list:
. Go through my blog making sure every blog post is high quality
. Finish my evaluation
. possibly create more posters/magazine reviews

I can see me needing to do a few all nighters, wish me luck.

The Making Of My Magazine Review

I went for the old approach to making my magazine review and decided to put all the detail on my review through paint (meaning the text), Is might be the less technical way of doing it but I find paint it better than what people think. 

I then copied and pasted each part on a more up to date software called paint.net, resized them and it was pretty simple.

DVD

I spent the majority of this afternoon planning my questions for my evaluation and finishing off my final piece, converting it and burning it on a DVD.

              

I did this by exporting through quicktime, opening it up in handbrake and converting it to mp4. I then burnt it on a blank DVD that i'd previously purchased.

Magazine Review

From looking at reviews online from IMDb and empire, and many more It made me realise I want my magazine to be online. I'd heard about a site called 'weebly' where you can create your own website, I figured because my review is going to be online why don't I just make the website. I decided I wanted my review to look like it was made for IMDb, however and this is a big however it proved more difficult than I'd thought. I can't get things exactly right through the limitations of the programme, and it's frustrating. Above is an example of what I've done, I'm now starting to feel that in the time frame and  the difficulty I'm having getting it exact. I will possibly resort to just creating it on paint.net or photoshop.

My Attempts

The other day I decided It was time to put my short film on a DVD that I'd bought the previous day, however when I went on it I found that for some reason my first clip was unedited and so I had to do that again. I did this, but because I spent so much time playing 'find the technician' by the time I was ready to put it on a DVD a had to go.

I attempted to put it on the DVD again today (7/3/13) but wanted to make sure I had everything right, I made sure the text was right, added more names to my ending credits etc and was ready to export it. However by the time I was ready to do this college had ended, I stayed behind but it said it was going to take 2 hours. Normally when they say 2 hours they don't really mean 2 hours, so I wanted for as long as I could until I had to leave but it still wasn't complete and as a result had to cancel it.

WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT:
. I have to make sure I have enough time to export
. I need to know where the technician is at all times to keep walking at a minimum
. Exporting isn't fun

SO, tomorrow I will make sure to get this done.
