This year I learned many new skills and techniques that deals with the camera and also the computers/macs. I learned how to take pictures with a different perspective. I got to learn how to work a camera and what all settings did to each photo. Editing photos were also really fun but also tricky at the same time because you had to edit your photo a way that wouldn't take away from the original photo. Another thing I learned in this class was to make a movie on the macs. I had no idea how to really work a mac until I got to actually use one. At first, using iMovie was a pain in the butt because I had no idea what to do but I eventually got the hang of it. Making movies was probably one of the best things I learned in this class.

This year I learned a lot of new things in this class. I learned how to work camera properly with all of it's settings. I learned how to edit pictures on photo shop. I also learned to have patience ever since that assignment. ☺ I learned how to upload videos and how to embed them into a blog, just like this. I learned how to create stop motion videos, as seen in my top 5 best pieces. I learned how to import videos into the Macs and to put them into iMovie. I learned how to Put pictures and videos together in iMovie and putting music with it too. I also learned how to lower down the music volume when ever it's needed. That was really useful. This year, I have learned a lot of new things about technology and I had a lot of fun learning about it. It's been a great year.

1. The message in Martin Luther King's speech was that everyone has freedom and that everyone is equal and that they should not judged by their skin but by personality. I think the slide which was the most important to me was "From every mountainside, let freedom ring" because it shows how they will finally get their freedom and show the world the difference it can make for the better.
2. The creative fonts that I presented were from the 5 tips of typography including the choice of font, spacing of the lines, different colors, contrast and sizing. Also making sure that the important words were very noticeable.
3. I will use the fonts creatively in the future for assignments involving powerpoints, or for just graphic work.
4. The most difficult part was the audio because i tried over 3 times redoing the audio until it finally worked.
5. To convert a PPT to a WMV simply save it but instead of JPEG save it as WMV.
6. I wouldn't really change anything because it was quite fun creating the fonts and different styles, probably just do a shorter speech next time.

Reflection:
- The message in Martin Luther Kings speech was to let black people all over the United States to be free. He wanted for everyone to live together and have the same opportunities, not just for the blacks but for everyone. The one slide that was important to me was the second last slide, when he says "Free at last! Free at last!"
- The creative uses of fonts I used in my presentation were change in font, size, color, spacing and contrast.
- I will use fonts creatively in the future when I have to do another PowerPoint sort of like this one in my classes in the future.
- The most difficult part in the process of making this PowerPoint was recording the animations because if you made a mistake you would have to restart all the way in the beginning, which i had to do like over ten times.
- I converted the PPT into a WMV by saving the PPT into a movie then uploading it onto YouTube which was way faster, I advise you to use a Mac for this type of project.
- I would change it by maybe only doing a little bit of the speech, because it was pretty long, or a smaller speech.
Reflections:
1. The message in MLK's speech is about all the segregation, prejudice and racism that is happening. It was his dream for everyone to be equal and to be free from all racial injustice. He wanted everyone to treat each other the same and not judge people by their race or the color of their skin. For me the most important slide was - "I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice."
2. The creative use of fonts in my presentation are the choice of font, text size, contrast, line spacing and colors. I made sure that the important words stood out in every slide.
3. I plan to use what I learned in this assignment for any other presentations that I will do in the future. I will make sure that my presentation will keep the audience engaged and not be bored. I will also use the 5 tips for better typography to improve my presentation.
4. For me, the most difficult part was breaking down the speech into different slides because it was very time consuming. I also had difficulties when we have to convert the power point into a wmv because it takes so long to load. Another part where I had difficulties was that I have to change some of the fonts and sizes of the text when I work on my power point at school because I have a different version of power point at home and because of that some of the text in the slides didn't show up.
5. In order to convert my power point into a wmv I clicked file and then save as and chose the wmv instead of jpeg and then I uploaded it to YouTube. It was easy to convert but it takes a really long time.
6. In my opinion I wouldn't really change this assignment because to be honest it was fun to play around with the fonts and I really enjoyed it but it takes a lot of time to finish this and a lot of effort. I just wish that the programs we used were much faster.

Reflection
1. What is the Message in MLK's speech. Which slide of the many that you created was most important to you?
On August 28, 1963, MLK gave a speech about freedom and equality. He gave a speech about how everyone is the same on the inside and its wrong to be judged my the colour of your skin. You should be judged on your character not on your race.
2. What are the creative uses of fonts in your presentation?
I used alot of different types of fonts in my presentation. I used colours and text size to emphasize the most important words, I also used the more and less spaced letters for less important words and/or to make the the slide have a more interesting look to it., and many other things.
3. How will you use fonts creatively in the future?
For all the future powerpoints and presentations I do i will use fonts to my advantage instead of them just being there to make sure everyone understands and is following along. I will use them to keep the audiance engaged in my presentation.
4. What was the most difficult part of this process of making a movie from PPT?
The most difficult part for me was finding time to finish it because whenever I was not playing sports I was always on the phone with my grandpa in the hospital so between my 6 practices a week and m grandpa it was very difficult to find time.
5. Create a user guide for future students. How did you end up converting a PPT of WMV?
To change my Powepoint to a Windows Movie whatever I had went to Save as and it gave you things you could save the power point as I went down to WMV and I left it over night to render the over and the next day, it was saved in my U drive.
6. How would you change this assignment next year?
If i could change this assignment for next year, I would pick a shorter speech.
but if you wanted to use the MLK speech again, either make it a partner assignment or give the kids a longer time to finish the speech.
