Learning Flash

Today in DIM I learned the different components in Flash. I found out that Flash is quite similar to Fireworks, except Flash has a timeline that shows the time for the object that you are making a motion with. I learned that the blank page in Flash is called a stage. We created a circle first with the circle tool and then made a motion tween. That made the ball move in a straight line. When we grabbed the center of the symbol and moved it in different places, making a small roller coaster track, then clicked return, the circle would roll around the track. Then we could make the circle disappear by lowering the Alpha.

How to charge a laptop battery?

More pictures maybe? You could add a song so that way your voice doesn't sound so loud and unclear at some points.

How to clean a laptop?

Speak louder and even our your music sound to match your voice. Liked how you showed how to clean it. And remember you need to make your own song.

Benefits of having a laptop.

Slow down your slides and the words that are on it so we can read it. Add your voice and a song to liven it up.

The Insurance Spot

Add more photos and try adding some video instead of all the slides with words. Liven it up with a song in the background throughout the video, it'll help keep the viewers interested.

What I learned from the video? How I'll use this information in my video?

What I learned from the video was different ways to approach showing stills and video of how we will show the audience what we are talking about. Such as the right ways to treat your computer in school. For example, carrying your laptop in your case at all times, never holding your laptop with one hand, never letting other people borrow your laptop for they may vandalize them, don't leave them at the edge of the table, and not to try to fix it the computer yourself. We can use these in our videos and show the right way to care for your laptop.

Misuse of Laptop at School Script

Narrator: Do you know how to treat you laptop properly? Do you carry it in a case? (show someone carrying it in a case) Do you have it with you at all times? (Someone who has it with them) Do you use your laptop for school purposes? (Show someone doing homework) Do you have it charged when you come to school? (Show full battery) Do you clean it? (Show clean laptop) Are you careful with it, use it wisely, and have insurance for it? (examples)

Narrator: You probably don't. You probably do these things. (Show laptop in hands, in backpack, leaving it at the edge of a desk, leaving it unattended, sharing with other people, leaving it at home, playing games, downloading music, using it as a plate, throwing it, bringing it to school dead, using it as a cushion, ignoring problems, fixing it yourself, leaving it in the sun, leaving it in your locker) This is not the way you should be using your laptop. The laptop is an expensive piece of technology.....treat it with respect!

Things that Sing

What do we need?

Household items, fishing line, goo-goo eyes, glue, camera, laptop, and music

How do we do it?

We are going to glue goo-goo eyes onto some objects and tie some fishing line on top of the head. Then we will record each object to move it's 'mouth' and sing to the tune we choose.

Script Write

Effect - Camera will begin in a head shot, then zoom out. It will then switch from scene to scene as a full body shot.

He then gets a text message and proceeds with his lines.Well that's a problem because, I like Johnny. Now I'm emotionally compromising. Whoopsies. After reading the message, he crashes into another tricycle out of rage. Then the owner of the tricycle (woman) comes up with a few grocery bags and sees the damage. The man driver is shown again speaking into the camera then winks. OMG Becky's not even hot. And if you've got cut rate insurance you could be paying for this yourself. So get Allstate you could save money and be better protected from mayhem like me (wink).

Then a poster flashes in front of the camera with the Allstate logo, name, and information. Then the narrator speaks and the commercial ends.
