Movies

Making movies has always been an interest of mine and we got the opportunity to use software like www.animoto.com, www.voicethread.com, and photostory. We even learned how to use Smart Notebook recorder which is a free download for 30 days.

With Smart Notebook recorder, we chose a site to do a tutorial on for those who may not know about the site or how to use it. The site I chose was www.geocaching.com

With www.animoto.com, we created accounts which my username is my school email and the site is said to be free but you can upgrade and get better packages to work with. The site allows you to make a video with a slideshow of pictures, voice recording, background sound, themes and transitions. I chose to do my animoto on the effects of bullying.

With www.voicethread.com, we created accounts with our emails again and the site is also free. This site allows you to voice record over pictures and allows others to comment on your project. I used voicethread for two of my projects.

The first voicethread I did was on my family trips to Florida which is posted here. Take a look! media type="custom" key="16152504"

The next Voicethread project I did was called "Interview for Inventions." It's a slideshow about different inventions throughout a time period that I interviewed my Grandmother on to see what she remembered, how it's different now, and what she did or didn't like about the growing technology. Here is the video.

Another project I just realized we did was a photostory on students in our class. Photostory is a free download if you have microsoft office and a code. Here is my project.
