Web 2.0

The three videos we watched were all about how the web works and cloud computing. The first video we watched explained how cloud computing and delivery businesses are quite similar. The good thing about cloud computing is that  you only pay for what you use. Everything is saved and secured at at least one other location.Cloud computing companies have pretty much unlimited storage, so luckily it doesn't limit you. The second video explained how cloud computing works. Just by uploading a picture to the internet you are cloud computing. You can the see that one picture wherever you want, at home at work anywhere. This computer lives in a giant secret warehouse full of computers. The picture could be in any warehouse at any location. The third video was called web 2.0. It explained how HTML was designed to define the structure of a web document. When we post and tag pictures we are teaching the machine. Coding is pretty much just telling the computer what to do. You don't need to know complicated code to upload content to the web. 

Journal Entry 2

This week our class got in groups of 3 or 4 and took pictures using the different camera techniques. We had watched videos giving examples and talking about the different camera techniques so we knew what we were doing. Anyways after we got all of our pictures we had to go on our own and create a video using Animoto. In this video we put all of our different pictures together and labeled them. Using Animoto was quite interesting and it was quite easy to use, I would reccomend Animoto to other people. I really liked doing this project and I would like to do another one like it.

Journal Entry 3

Our group did our photo story on a replay of when I broke my foot during my soccer game. Our main accomplishments were getting all the correct photos we needed, putting our video together without having problems. Our biggest challenges were finding a good day to go outside to take the pictures because it was raining the first day so we did't get all our pictures done because we would've got all wet. Another big challenge was finding a song to go with our video. We didn't really run into any technical problems. Breakdown of work responsibilities were, Mackenzie and I did the editing, and Morgan and Jayden took the pictures. Mackenzie and I also were characters in the video. Our group did a very successful job on our project and finished it on time. What i found interesting was being able to put the pictures together just like it was one whole video. I really liked this project and i enjoyed working with my group.

Photo story

Camera Techniques; Framing, Fill in the Frame, Rule of Thirds, Level Horizon, and Point of View

camera techniques

The five techniques discussed in the videos we watched in class were, Rule of Thirds, Fill  the Frame, Framing, Point of View, and Level Horizon

Rule of Thirds:

• I think this camera technique is important because it makes picture more eye catching.
• Dividing your image into thirds, comparing to the middle.

Fill the Frame:

• Zooming in a photo to give it more life and detail.
• Taking a picture too far away can be a distraction. (action) 

Framing:

• Surrounding your main object with something else.
• Detail going on in the background.

Point Of View:

• Move aroundto give a fresh look.
• Looking at a photo at different point of views.

Level Horizon

• Good for landscaping.
• Hold the camera level
• Function button to make the picture level
