For my Tech fair project, my partner Sarah and I did a reverse video. First of all we researched and agreed on the ideas we were going to film and the editing site and Apps. then we took the videos such as blowing out a candle, jumping in the pool,sliding down the stairs, ripping out a paper, then we reversed it using Reverse Cam on IPad. After that we transferred the videos onto a laptop, pasted them into Windows Movie Maker, added music "If I loose myself-One republic"and doubled the speed of the videos and added some cool effects. This work took approximately 6 hours of our own time,other than the research that we did in school. For improvement we could of had a better hardware to take the video with and a more interesting way to to the final editing since everyone either uses Windows Movie Maker or IMovie. I didn't take part in the tech fair because we had a lack of organization and we forgot to get a laptop and our video was not uploaded on Youtube. My final project was a bit different than how i planned it because we were planning on doing fast motion and stop motion with the reverse but we ran out of time and ideas.

Tech Fair Project Investigation
Idea 1:
Video making a Skit/Short movie
Pros: Fun to shoot, can have many effects and
music that will make it enjoyable to watch.
Cons: We need many people to act in it, hard to
think of an idea for the movie.
Hard ware’s: Props/ Costumes, Camera, Laptop.
Soft ware’s: Movie Maker.
first i will find a relevant idea to make the movie about, i will decide who will film and act in my movie, i will then make a script of the movie and buy the props needed, after that i will shoot my movie and edit it to be really to be presentable.

Idea 2:
Animation Video
Pros: It will be easy since there are many sites
to make an animation video.
Cons: Boring and dull, a more original project
would be better.
Hard ware’s:
Laptop
Soft ware’s: Internet
(http://goanimate.com/)
find a good idea, design my characters, write the script, design the setting , polish my work to be ready to be handed in.

Idea 3:
reverse video.
Pros: Fun to try,
does not need so much time. There are so many ideas of what can be done in this
video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVMomY3OKKI&noredirect=1)
Cons: Needs lots
of editing.
Hard ware’s:
Laptop, equipments used in video.
Soft ware’s:
Internet (http://www.videoreverser.com/)
, Movie Maker.
first we are going to do a plan of what the video is going to include. shoot the videos ,edit the videos ( reverse them) put them on movie maker, add titles, captions and flow the videos after another.
FINAL DECISION:
My partner for this project is Sarah F , her and I chose to do
Idea 3, which is a mixture of a slow motion, fast motion, reverse and stop
motion video. It’s going to be about 2-3 minutes. We chose to do it since it is
the most time convenient because we have about 2 weeks only and because we’ve
always wanted to do a video like that.Saturday, February 1, 2014
Making my own school registration form
I first did a draft in my copy book of what my registration form will roughly look like.
I then did an annotation of how i'm going to present it using Microsoft Word Document.
Then i created my school logo using designmantic.com
Finally i made my registration form for my school.My draft is a bit different than my final work because i changed a few things such as the background color.I kept it white since it looks clearer than if it was going to be brown. I also changed the font size, 14 instead of 12 so that there isn't extra spaces on my form. I'm glad with my final work,it looks professional and informative.

Final evaluation
On my post my friends have commented saying that my brochure is very eye catchy, filled with colors, looks good and visually appealing. For improvement i could have added more pages to my brochure including information in it about either the company or the product, also to change the color and font of the text so that it is clear.

Investigation Task
(i) ‘Business brochure/magazines’:
a. What are the different
brochure/magazines that might be used by a

be easily caught if your brochures have thrilling icons, convincing contents,

For example:

Half-Hold
Corporate Business Brochure
Brochures are used to tell people a message in a small package, usually
a folded paper including text and pictures to explain a concept, promote a
business, or share a story. One example is the use of brochure to promote resorts
and attractions for tourists, or to promote a product.

look like?

Equipment: Better quality, comes in different colors and sizes, longer snorkel
tube.

5. Evaluate your sources – how useful are these sources
and how accurate are they?
In my opinion these sources were very useful I found some
really useful information and they gave me more ideas to expand and to write
about. Some of these sources are accurate except for “http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_brochures_used_for#slide1”
Since it’s from Wiki answers and anyone could write their own answers, but I
was careful and I made sure that it was the correct answer referring to other
sites.
6. Develop a Design Brief (why/what/where/who and how). Look
here for ideas at http://www.technologystudent.com/designpro/problem1.htm (for
Design Technology but still useful).
7. Formulate a Design Specification – give a detailed
description of the conditions, requirements and restrictions there are for
producing your chosen business brochure/magazine. (For example: software
limitations, printing preferences, size, color, fonts used, information to be
put in/on, etc). Look here for ideas at
http://www.technologystudent.com/designpro/spec1.htm (for Design Technology but
still useful).
8. Describe, in detail, how you will test your product. If
you intend to use a questionnaire, include that here. You will document the
process in detail in digital format in a blog and present it at the end of each
stage on your wiki. (To be saved only as a copy in the folder. Print out need
not be taken.)
