The document summarizes three creative software workshops:
- In the Photoshop workshop, students learned basic techniques like layering, transforming, and editing levels, contrast, highlights and glow effects. They also learned how to curve and flow texts.
- The iMovie workshop showed how to make movies without spending money by adding fades between scenes and trimming unwanted footage. Special effects like ripping could also be added.
- The GarageBand workshop demonstrated how to make original music without real instruments by replicating electric guitar and drum sounds. It was found to be very useful and simple to use, allowing one media group to create a slow, sad song for their movie opening using acoustic guitars, violins and piano
3. • In the Photoshop workshop we learnt the
basic techniques of photoshop such as
layering, free transforming, changing levels
contrast images, highlighting and diffuse glow
effect to pictures . We also learnt how to
curve and flow texts.
5. • I movie is a software that allows you to make
movies of your own without having to spend
any money. I movie played a significant part in
the making of our movie as it allowed used to
add certain effect such as fading between
each scene it has also allowed us to trim any
unwanted scenes and add special effect such
as rippling the scenes.
7. • Garage Band allows us to make our own music with out
spending a lot of money also with having any real
instruments for an example garage band allows you to
replicate the sounds that an electric guitar would make
same with drums, violins and many other instruments.
When I first used garage band I found it very useful and
quiet simple to use. This allowed me and my media
group to make our own song for our movie opening.
Our song was very similar to the song in the Juno as it
was very slow and it sounded very sad . We decided to
use instruments such as acoustic guitars , violins and a
piano to emphasise on the female protagonist feeling
lonely and isolated.
