Green Screening

Hi everyone

Today at ict a couple of people worked out how to use the green screening feature on imovie 09. After it taking a long time on imovie we worked out that we have to use  imovie 09 to get it to work. Luckily Mr Stoodley (Jedi Master) said we had the ilife disk. Miss Cording had a website that showed us how to use this cool and new feature. After 5 to 10 minutes we worked out how to get any picture or movie that we wanted in the green background. It looked so cool. 

So i guess for the next couple of weeks we will be experimenting as well is working on our MADE and TV NZ 6 web challenge!

Darn it! Holidays are OVER!!!!

Hey guys and gals,

Well, It is now and officially the first day back (for ICT) of the holidays. It was exciting but i caught a few yawners (Yes, you know who you are).We started off by getting a NEW TOPIC!!! Arggghhhhh!!!

Na, it was sort of exciting, the only bad thing was is the pressure cooking, boy, we knew it was coming. But the cool thing is, is that the topic is (we chose) Futuristic Schooling. We got the topic from Mr. Stoodley (JEDI MASTER) after he showed all of us a Microsoft future video. It was cool because the people in the video only had 1 little device they used to email, start up the car etc. And the people had all this SOOOO cool class room equipment. I am sooo jelous.

A few of us went off and had a fiddle around with after effects.

Oh and by the way, the new turn wheel apple is not real. HaHa Caitlin!!!!

Demo is totally cool.......

Demolition Day . . . . . . . . . . . This even included a server!

The components were very cool to play with..........





The many different kinds of RAM that they could gather together.........


Bring on the screwdrivers.............



Fridays are all about trying something new and demo is, and always will be, a highlight!
We had managed to save up a few computers that needed to be taken to pieces and the hard drives offered up for destruction (not ours). With our tools in hand, we sat waiting for the moment to arrive.
Many things were learned about the insides of a computer and what each component does.

Thanks to the students for their excitement and their love of pulling things to pieces. :)

Work, Work, Work, Fun, Fun, Fun

Hi Everyone

Friday was another exciting day of ICT. When listening to the daily notices, it said that ICT wasn't going to be on. It was a very sad moment because Miss Cording couldn't find a teacher to cover her class while she taught a very cool class like us. Luckily Mr Stewart offered to take her class. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

3 of us went and did a video of the school for our Promotional Video. We forgot to put the video on time lapse. Unfortunately the laptop lid fell backwards so about two thirds of the way around we started to video the sky. It wasn't one of our best moments. I think we'll cut it out. But we did manage to speed the video up, getting it down from 17 minutes to 3 minutes.

While we were out the rest of the class went and planned out what we were going to do for the rest of the year. A small group entered the online entry form for Young Designers which is very stressful. Another lot have started on a Story Board Competition. They are really going for gold. It looks awesome. Matt and Hannah are working hard at the Mad Movie Challenge. It is starting to take shape as well. Miss Cording and Hannah also are making a film for the Fresh Moves Group. Most of us are also having a look at M.A.D.E.

So there is alot happening in ICT extention this year and it will definitely keep us busy. It is all great fun as well.

Next week we will be working on the promotional video.

Editing the promotional video

Today we watched our promotional video and discussed what we thought was good and what was bad. Generally we thought there was a lot more editing required, the video was missing a lot of infomation. So we all got a job editing and re filming and taking new pictures, our video should now have more impact and look a more polished presentation, once we have finished editing it.
