Q4 Notes

Q4: How did you use technologies in the research and planning, construction and evaluation stages of your coursework? These are the lists for the screen recordings you need to make to explain what you did in the Mac Suite. Once you have done them all, pop them into iMovie and edit together with title cards at the start of each section to explain what is being shown, and subtitles during to talk the examiner through each action. Then upload to YouTube and label your posts as: Q4: How did you use technologies in the research and planning, construction and evaluation stages of your coursework? For Garageband, only do the screen recording for the method you used, you don't need to do both. iMovie: 1. open and import a couple of clips 2. drag a clip to timeline and trim 3. drag another clip and trim, add a transition between the two clips 4. adjust sound levels- make background noise quieter, make vocals louder, 5. add a soundtrack and duck sound so dialogue can be heard 6. crop in on a clip if camera too far away to capture actor's emotion 7. add slow motion if you used it. 8. show steps taken to upload to YouTube/Vimeo Keynote: 1. open and select correct slide size (1280x720) 2. remove existing text boxes (lassoo and hit backspace) 3. save background image to desktop and drag onto slide 4. drag ITV2 logo onto slide and adjust size and position 5. using the alpha tool, make the white background of the logo transparent 6. add text boxes with name and time of soap 7. open "inspector" tool, select yellow diamond tool at the top to alter transitions 8. select "build in", add effect, change duration 9. select "build out", add effect, change duration 10. preview and change till everything works in the right order and at the right speed. Garageband (basic loops): 1. open and select "loops" from file options 2. file + add new track if not one there 3. drag your song from desktop/iTunes into new track 4. hover mouse halfway up track so "crop" symbol shows and shorten your track at start until the sound starts roughly where you want it to. 5. zoom in so soundwaves show in detail and crop until the sound is accurate to the beat 6. go to where you want your clip to end, place red line (called the "playhead") at right place, right click and "trim to playhead" 7. crop until sound is accurate to the beat. 8. hover mouse at top of clip until "loop" symbol appears, click and drag so your chosen piece of music loops until it is the desired length 9. save and export to desktop 10. import to iMovie Garageband (advanced loops) steps 1-7 are same as above: 1. open and select "loops" from file options 2. file + add new track if not one there 3. drag your song from desktop/iTunes into new track 4. hover mouse halfway up track so "crop" symbol shows and shorten your track at start until the sound starts roughly where you want it to. 5. zoom in so soundwaves show in detail and crop until the sound is accurate to the beat 6. go to where you want your clip to end, place red line (called the "playhead") at right place, right click and "trim to playhead" 7. crop until sound is accurate to the beat.8. Open new track and drag song in again 9. crop to part you want to blend and make accurate, then drag along timeline to point you want it to start playing 10. Show blue volume lines, click to add points and adjust volume of both tracks to blend 11. drag along timeline to match beats so sound runs smoothly 12. export to desktop and import to iMovie
