Mae Concepcion's: MLK Wrap Up

  1. The message in MLK's speech is that everyone should be treated equally. That you shouldn't judge a person just by their skin colour and that we should all see each other as brothers and sisters. And that we should change for our own sakes. My favourite slide(s) was: "We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must take the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back." 
  2. I tried to use a wide variety of fonts on words that I wanted to stand out. I also tried to match the colors with the tone of the words. 
  3. In the future, I will creatively use my fonts on the words that I want to stand out and the words that I think are important. Kind of like what I did on this presentation. 
  4. It takes a long time to make a movie. 
  5. How to convert a powerpoint into a video: File. Save and Send. Create a video. Create video. TAAADAAAAA. 
  6. I wouldn't change the assignment because the assignment was brilliant but I would only change the due date because it takes quite a long time to do.

1. The message that Martin Luther King was trying to get across was freedom. Allowing black Americans to be free. He wanted everyone to live in a world as one, with the same rights and opportunities. 

2. The changes I made on my presentation were font, size, color, size and contrast.

3. I will use fonts creatively in the future if I am trying to create a PowerPoint or an assignment similar to this one.

4. The most difficult part of this assignment was making sure that every time I converted the presentation to a movie that it would have the audio with it. 

5. I converted my PowerPoint into a WMV file by clicking "file" which is at the top, going down to "save&send", then "create a movie", and then clicked "create."

6. I thought this speech was a really long speech and I thought it would take a long time to finish, so I would've chosen a smaller speech or re-create a part of the speech but overall it was a fun project.

Jaedah Coronia - Uzon's Martin Luther King Speech Jr. I Have Dream Speech

                             http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/USMC-09611.jpg


Reflection
1. The message in Martin Luther Kings speech is about all people are equal and have rights in America. Martin Luther Kings believes that segregation, prejudice, racism etc. should come to an end. It was his dream along with the other peoples dream. 
- The most important slide to me was when he said "Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice."

2. The creative fonts that I used was the ones that match to what he was saying and also the colour to make the words interesting. Overall I think I did well on the presentation.

3. I am going to continue to use more creative fonts in my presentations so it would make my future power points  less boring and more interesting.

4. The most difficult part while doing this presentation is putting the audio in and to make it right on to what he was saying. Also, the most difficult part is that he had a very long speech and I had exactly 105 slides for making his speech.

5. How I ended up converting my power point to a wmv is I got help by my friends. The steps to get a ppt to a wmv is you go to insert audio and get your file, then once its there you go and save it as a wmv.

6. I wouldn't want to change my presentation because I put a lot of effort into it and I really liked the way it turned out.

Reflection:

1. The message in MLK's speech is that everyone should be free and be treated equally. No one should judge or treat others bad because of the colour of their skin or religion. My favourite slide that I created was "We cannot turn back." 
2. The creative uses of fonts in my presentation were based on the '5 tips for better typography'. 
3. I will use fonts creatively in the future when I do any projects or presentations. 
4. The most difficult part of the process for me, was figuring out what was important in each slide, and trying to make each slide different. 
5. It's pretty simple! Press: File -> Save & Send -> Create a video -> Create a video (on the right hand side)
6. I wouldn't change anything about this project. It was fun learning about fonts, and the 'I Have a Dream' speech all at the same time!

Da Silva's MLK Speech

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Martin_Luther_King_-_March_on_Washington.jpg

-No Sound


Reflection:

1. The message in MLK's speech is to make freedom and justice a reality, to stop all racism that's happening in this world, and to believe and dream that one day everyone will be free, everyone will get the freedom they deserve. Of the many slides that I have created, the one I think is the most important is when MLK is explaining his dreams and then he says that with this faith, they can work together, pray together, struggle together, jail together, freedom together, and hopefully one day, to be FREE.

2. The creative uses of font that I did in my presentation was I used the 5 tips for better typography which is to changing the font, change the text size when needed, text contrast for example, making some words bold, also changed character and line spacing and the text color.

3. I will use fonts creatively in the future if I may have to do another presentation or an assignment similar to this one.

4. The most difficult part was actually reading the information I had in each slide and either changing the font of words, bolding words that I thought were important, or changing the color of words. Took me at least a month to finish.

5. I converted a PPT into a WMV file by going into powerpoint, clicking "file" which is at the top, going down to "save&send", then "create a movie", and then clicked "create."

6. I might've just choosen a smaller speech so it wouldn't take as long as it took us to finish, but otherwise, it was a good project.

Camilla's I Have A Dream - Martin Luther King



Reflection:

1. What is the Message in MLK's speech.  Which slide of the many that you created was most important to you
The Message in MLK's speech was strongly telling us how in the past that all black people got discriminated. Even other religion, race, and other background people. And the faith that we will be free one day from racism. Also a dream of freedom that everyone should be treated equally. The slide I picked would be "And so even though we face the difficulties of to day and tomorrow, I still have a dream." This seem important to me because its like saying even though you faced hard challenges, you'll eventually succeed. To be honest all slide would be important.

2. What are the creative uses of fonts in your presentation?
The creative uses of fonts on my presentation was honestly making one word or more in each slide or an important word to stand out because one important word from a slide means its really important to understand whats happening in his speech. I also spaced some words, and added color so it could standout. Also make the fonts different and enlarge as well. 

3. How will you use fonts creatively in the future?
Of course I will use fonts creatively in the future because I find it more exciting to read and the appearance would look nice, but more importantly how the fonts are important. 

4. What was the most difficult part of this process of making a movie from PPT
The most difficult part was probably making my ppt into a movie because I was really confused at first but then I did some research so im familiar with it now. And also there were parts in the speech of the presentation hard for me to make the typography more understandable and creative.

4. Create a user guide for future students.  How did you end up converting a PPT of WMV?
Step 1. First of all when you finish your slide show, make sure you do finishing touches.
Step 2. Next you can go file save as and for the file type it should be "wmv". You can find it below your file name and it has a bottom arrow and you scroll down until you see it. Click it and it should have a window popup, so just click "yes".
Step 3. Wait until the movie is rendering
Step 4. That's all you do and go ahead and upload it anywhere you like, but make sure its saved.

5. How would you change this assignment next year.
I like to change this assignment by making my fonts not to colorful because it was bothering me a lot, so I wish to change a typography like that.


                            

Joel Bautista's Martin Luther King Jr. I Have a Dream Speech



The message in Martin Luther King's speech was that he wanted the black people to be free, to be equal, for everyone to be equal. He's had enough of the unfair treatment that was committed. his speech explains how everyone should all be equal no matter what. He has a dream that all black boys and girls and all white boys and girls would play with each other in peace, without being judged. He's motivated many people to understand what racism is and how it's affecting his people. Slide five was the most important to me because it explains how a black man has suffered and possibly not have a future in life. The creative uses of fonts I used was size, color, contrast, spacing, and text. In the future I will be starting a future in business course so i will be using power point and fonts very often. this presentation gave me a feel of what it'll be like for me next year. The most difficult part for me was organizing my words and fonts for each of my 75 slides, it took a while to complete it. The fonts and color gave me somewhat of trouble because I wanted to make it look good. I personally would just get the speech and put it all into my slides, and organize them. That way it'll make your life easier. Also make sure you use your spacing wisely and also your fonts. First you'll have to record yourself clicking each slide as Martin speaks, once that is done you convert it into a wmv file in power point. Once that is completed all you have to do is upload it onto Youtube. I liked the topic that we had to do this year but the only thing I'd change is the program that we used and also how long the presentation has to be.
