Multimedia and Video Technology

My mulitimedia and video technology course was definitely educational. I was able to demonstrate the principles of multimedia planning, designing, producing, editing, and evaluating. I was exposed to Audacity and iMovie audio and video software. Audacity is a program that manipulates digital audio waveforms. In addition to recording sounds directly from within the program, it imports many sound file formats, including WAV, AIFF, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis. PCM formats of 8,16,24 and 32-bits can be imported and exported. (Audacity, 2009)  Imovie is a video editing software application.

My group and I were able to go through the stages of creating a digital video using iMovie. We found iMovie to be user-friendly. We used an iPhone to shoot, and capture our video.

It was originally recorded in AUP and because the majority of group members were unable to hear the audio, we changed the file to WAV, and we were still having issues, due to the file being to large file. We decided to re-record to the video using iMovie. Files were exchanged online for group viewing, revising, and editing. We eliminated background noises, and added titles over video shots, lighting effects and adjustments to limited shots. The overall experience was great.
