Alyssa's MLK Speech Presentation

MLK's speech wasn't just about racial segregation, it was about the good ol' country of USA as well. MLK talks about the different states and how THEY should change, as well as the people. My favorite slides to do  were, actually, the ones ABOUT the states, and letting freedom ring. He kept talking about how even through the mountains and valleys and hilltops that freedom should ring all throughout all of the states.
The creative uses of the fonts were the sizes, fonts, colour, contrast, and spacing.
In the future, I plan to do something along the lines of film or graphic design, so I plan to use design or font very often.
The most difficult part of this project was the fact that you had to lug in the words and separate the words and then the amount of work you had to do for each slide.
For this, you had to just pull in the words, and play around with it. It wasn't hard, but just tedious. And then you had to insert the speech itself, while recording or setting the slide transitions. Afterwards, you had to save as a movie, or so it was called on the Mac's, and upload it all onto Youtube.
The only thing I would change wouldn't be the project itself, but the program we used to do this. I'd much rather like an in-depth program.

I Have A Dream Speech by Martin Luther King Jr

http://www.tutufoundationusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/dr-martin-luther-king-1.jpg

Reflection:

1. The message in Martin Luther King's speech is about the equality of rights for both black and white men in America. Martin along with his people are appealing to the rest of America for freedom. He believes that this is the time for segregation, prejudice, racism, stereotypes and more to end. It is about his and his people's dream, the dream that will come true.

Honestly all slides were pretty important to me but the most important one was the slide where Martin said "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

2. The creative uses of fonts in my presentation is that I was using fonts that goes with the words. Also I used the spacing of the words and the colour too to emphasize and make the word interesting. Overall I think I did all of the things I needed to do in my presentation.

3. I will use fonts creatively in the future if we ever had to do powerpoint presentations again and just like this one, I will do the same and use the tips but in a better way. I will do these in presentations to make it more interesting and not make anyone bored out of it. 

4. The most difficult part of this process of making a movie from PPT is making the slides. It was pretty hard since sometimes I would run out of ideas for how to make my slides look interesting. Also I had a really hard time trying to look for how to convert the powerpoint into a movie. Though overall it was pretty fun.

5. I ended up converting the PPT to a WMV by the help of the people around me. Well first I tried to search it in Google but I couldn't find it since my computer was a mac so it was different a bit. Then Mr. Harbeck helped me, so that is how I got over it. (The steps were *if I remember it correctly :P* go to file then there you will see save&send and in there you will see convert to a video)

6. I wouldn't really change this assignment because it was really fun and interesting to know about this speech.

Roselle's I have dream -Martin Luther King

The message in MLK's speech is that we are all free in this world and no one deserves to be treated poorly becuase we were all born equal... The most important slide to me was probably the 6th slide because the message was really nice and i like how i set up the fonts and layouts.

2. the creative uses of fonts was putting effects into them and where to place them and actually figuring out what font looks good with the others...

3.I think in the future I will always now know how to use nice fonts and make a good presentation because this assignment helped a lot with it and let me explored new things with it.

4.The most difficult was timing the audio in with the slides because it took me long to do that part but as soon as i was done the rest were easy

5.firstly you save your powerpoint into a Jpeg then there's going to be a window that pops up and click everyslide.. After open a windows movie maker and upload your audio and your pictures (powerpoint slides) the slides are all pictures now and this will allow you to put them in seperately. Then just time it and save... :)

6. I dont actually know what to change but it took a really long time to do, so maybe a shorter speech but overall it was nice to explore on learning how to create a good presentation..

Emerald's I Have A Dream - Martin Luther King Jr.

1. I believe that the message in MLK's speech is to acknowledge racial inequality, and to try and get people to change the way they act or think towards people of a different race. The slide that was most important to me was the slide about allowing freedom to ring, and with that it would speed up the day to when everyone of every race and religion are able to accept each other, holding hands singing that they're, "Free at last."
2. The creative uses of fonts in my presentation was most of the time changing the color, font, or size to emphasize certain words or phrases that are important in the speech. I also played with the spacing a lot to add contrast and uniqueness to my presentation.
3. I'll use fonts creatively in the future for school and work, to bring the audience's attention to the important points in my presentation. 
4. The most difficult part of using powerpoint in this project was the fact that I had to send it to myself back and fourth from school and from home. The fonts I used at home would be different from what I used at school, and vice versa. I would have to change them again, which took up a lot of time as well. 
5. I converted my powerpoint to a WMV using Windows Movie Maker, since I didn't have the 2010 version of Powerpoint and couldn't do it straight from the presentation. I had to save my slides as pictures and I had to insert all the pictures into Windows Movie Maker, as well as the audio. I adjusted the amount of time the slides would show so it would go with what he was saying in the speech. Then I just saved my movie, and uploaded it to Youtube. 
6. I would change this assignment, and make it less time-consuming but other than that the whole thing was pretty straight-forward and I didn't really have problems knowing what I'm supposed to do.

Tran's "I Have A Dream" - Martin Luther King Jr speech

s

1. The message in MLK's speech was that there should be equality for all god's children. Religion, culture, or the color of your skin shouldn't be a factor on how you treat someone. The most important slide to me was when he starts saying " I have a dream" and states all these dreams of his. 

2. I used all 5 ways of using creative fonts whether that was spacing, to move the letters closer to each other or further apart. Color and size, to emphasize what was more important and to make it stand out. I also used different types of fonts and changed the fonts in certain words to make it also stand out. The last thing I also did was put some words in bold or all capital. 

3. I will probably use this in the future if I ever need to make a powerpoint for one of my classes. I will make it look very nice and interesting to keep my fellow classmates interested. 

4. There was nothing really difficult, just really time consuming and frustrating because I just want to get it done and over with but definitely putting the audio in was difficult especially when you're in 13 minutes and mess up and have to start ALL OVER again.. which I did about 10 times.  

5. What I did to convert a powerpoint into a video was first nag Harbeck which didn't work, then asked Allysa but she couldn't tell me so I used my bestfriend GOOGLE and found this website where it shows you step by step. Heres the link. It was very helpful. 

6. What I would change for this assignment next year is for this to be a partnered assignment where one partner does the first half of the speech and the other does the second half so its not so time consuming. Otherwise than that it was easy, just very frustrating. 

okay bye(:

I Have A Dream: Martin Luther King

Reflection:
1) The message in MLK's speech is to grant and accept racial equality. The slide that was most important to me is the part where he us talking about the faith and that with it, they could work together, knowing that they will be free one day.
2) The creative uses of font that I did in this presentation was choosing the right font to go with the whole thing and what he was saying. Another is when I made certain words bigger or smaller and added colour to them to emphasize the most important words. I also played with the spacing in some slides and combined colours, fonts and sizes to display contrast.
3) I will use this advantage and knowledge of using fonts creatively when I need to do a power point for either work or school, and be able to get a good response from the audience.
4) The most difficult part of this process was editing the fonts and the colours because it was pretty time consuming, to say the least.
5) I ended up converting this a different way than we were supposed to because I had to have the 2010 version but instead I have the 2007 one at home. What I did was, I saved the power point slides as images (jpeg) and put them into movie maker. I then added the audio and started to adjust the time of each picture so it was in sync with it. After I was done, I just published it after it finished converting.
6) I guess I wouldn't really change the assignment because it was pretty easy overall even if it's time consuming.
