Marketing video- Combined between 2 softwares

Today, my groupwork of marketing video have finished our work. There are a lot of time spent in doing this work. About 10 hours in one day we edit the video. In doing this work, we use 2 softwares. That is Windows movie maker and Adobe premiere. In the first we divided the task to edit by each member in our group by using Windows movie maker. After all of members have edited it, we combined all of our works by using Adobe premiere, and give some effects by using it. The most difficult thing in doing this project is arranging sound clip in the video. That steps have spent more than 2 hours. Moreover one thing that make us shock is when after we published it, the video has 2GB more memory to keep it. That is not make sense, and i dont know why it can be happened.but the most thing is we have done my best in finishing this project. Thanks for haikal and paul as my group members that have done their work well, and i hope we can get the mark that we hope before.

Adobe Photoshop

One of the essential tools that i used in doing my learning contract is adobe photoshop CS2. Generally, there are a lot of functions of this software. This software is usually used to edit some images to become images that we want. we can do anything with this software, like combining some images, changing the situation of the images, cutting, and so on. Actually this software is really complicated to be used if we never used it before, but after we know how to use it, it will be easy to be used. In my learning contract, this software is very important, because it is used to cut the website that i have created in this software and move it to the macromedia dreamwaver. This software is helpful to me to finish my learning contract, and i hope i can finish it well before the due date.

Macromedia Dreamweaver

Macromedia Dreamwaver is one of softwares that is used to make website. This software is almost the same with MS. frontpage in which all of the code that we made given directly in this software, therefore we can design our web easily, without thinking about code of HTML, but this software is more complete and more complicated in using than MS.Frontapage. For learning contract of TGJ4M, most of the TGJ4M students who take web design as their last project use this software in order to get better visual in design their website This software can be used for both mac, and Windows system.

Learning contract(2)

In this holiday, i start in doing my learning contract about web design. There are some difficulties that i got in doing this project. First, since i want to use dreamwaver as the software in doing web design, i need to learn how to use that software, because honestly, dreamwaver is more complicated to be used than MS.Frontpage. If until the last of this holiday, i still can not use this software, i will use MS.frontpage to do my learning contract, but i will try my best to understand about dreamwaver first. Second difficulties that i got in doing this project is taking the original images of Indonesian foods. Since i choose Indonesian foods for my topic in my website, i need to take the original images of Indonesian foods. This difficulty is caused by the holiday in which there is no more restaurant, especially indonesian restaurants open in this holiday. Therefore i got difficulty to take the original images in this holiday, but i will try to get it after the holiday.

Second life

In this holiday, there are some students of CIMP go back to their hometown...For TGJ4M students, they have to spend their time to listen the audio program that can be download in one website given by Mr.Avila. IN that audio program, tells about one of game online that is named Second life. Actually, this game is almost the same with Sims, that is more popular than second life. In this game, all of us can decide what we want to be, what job we want to choose, and ect. Indirectly, there is a relationship between this game with the ancient time. This game was created by harvard school in order to give the chance for their students to learn about what they have done in their life. After all of the TGJ4M students listen the audio program about this game, the students asked to make 10 questions that they have to bring after the holiday, and we will discuss all of the questions that we have made in class.

So i have to arrange it again..after i spent around 1 hour, i knew the problem...in burning the website to cd, we have to collect all of the data that we input in our website in one folder, and burn it together with the website that we have made, in order all of the website that we made will as run as we hope. I think there are some TGJ4M students got the problem that i got, and i hope all of you can solve it.

Make homepage using Frontpage

This week, all of TGJ4M students asked to make their homepage by using MS.Frontpage. There are some difficulties in making homepage by using frontpage. Firstly, there are a lot of students don't have the software of frontpage, therefore if they want to make their homepage by using it, they have to make it in college. secondly, if they have MS.Frontpage in their computer, sometimes the width of website that they make in their computer and college's computer is different, and it can make the position of their web that if looked from their computer is good, but in college's computer can be different that they saw in their computer, and lastly, sometimes the result of website that is made by using frontpage, can not be display clearly in Mozila firefox, but can be display clearly in Internet explorer, or vice versa. I think we have to learn about that software again, if we got that problem.
