Module 8: Final

Here it is, my final video. This has been a very challenging project. If I could change one thing it would have been to use pro software like Adobe Premier. Microsoft's free software is great for throwing together a quick movie, but for a big production like this it was not nearly powerful enough. If it uploads (knock on wood) I'll be able to post it before 1am. Yay!

My final video includes pictures, music, a screen recording, voice overs, a PowerPoint animation, video downloaded from YouTube and actual real video of myself from the Flip camera. The software that I used was Windows Live Movie Maker, Screenr, Audacity, and MP4Cam2AVI. All of the media was public domain, Creative Commons, Fair Use or used with permission.

The multimedia principles that I tried to comply with most closely were coherence principle and sensory modalities principle. The coherence principle suggests that the multimedia should not have any extraneous information, so as not to increase cognitive load. Sensory modalities I thought was a good way to organize the presentation and keep it simple. For example, voice instead of text when showing pictures.Sometimes it would have been much easier to use text instead of creating audio, but it would have encouraged me to violate sensory modalities principle.
