WEEK 6: CLEAR

This week in ISM3004 we learned about images, audio and video. With everything becoming more intertwined with multimedia, having the basic knowledge and skills to use image, audio and video files is very important as I look into my future career. Many job listing I see require skills with Photoshop - how to crop jpeg images and other tools.

There are a variety of easy to use programs to help you learn and use these various technologies. You can learn how to edit raw audio to get the perfect soundbite or cut a video into the perfect scenes. One of the programs I have used in the past is Animoto. This software program is free and allows you to create video slide shows from your images and add audio as well. It makes the presentation way more exciting.

Every summer, my two older brothers and I go to Southern California for a week and spend time with one of our older cousins who lives there and owns some great restaurants. If you'd like to see the video slide show of my California trip in 2009, click here.

Using these variety of platforms - images, audio and video - together can really make an exciting presentation.
