How to use WMM Brief tutorial Additional video editing resources are available in the “Student Notes for Video Clinic/System Design Lab” section on ANGEL.

Tips and cautions for creating videos (1 of 3) Never use your original files. Make copies of your original content and edit the copies. This way, if you make a mistake and delete or alter something you still have your original content to fall back on. Periodically save your work. Editing a video can be a long endeavor. You should save your work roughly every minutes. If something goes wrong, you will not lose all of your work. Save your work with different version names. If you like what you have done and are going to try something you are unsure of, save a copy of your work before exploring. This way you can always revert back to your previous work without having to “undo” everything. Never use your original files. Make copies of your original content and edit the copies.

Tips and cautions for creating videos (2 of 3) Storyboarding Take a few minutes before diving into your project and draw a brief storyboard of you video on paper. This will only take a few minutes before you start working in WMM, and it will save you time while you are trying to arrange all of your work. Storyboarding is also a great tool for creating your story before shooting your video/pictures, and will help better manage your time gathering content for your video.

System design review (1 of 4: Overview) You should have come prepared to class today with your user defined, a rough system diagram, and your preliminary (if not final) system component list. The next few slides will briefly review each part of the assignment.

System design review (2 of 4: Part 1 - Define Users) You should have brought a one page description of your user’s and his/her needs and wants. This should cover the user’s cognitive, social, and technical demographics (disabilities, beliefs, comfort level using technologies). Also incorporated in this summary should be the user’s educational/career needs and wants, and the user’s social needs and wants. This description should be used to help justify your system decisions. You should have brought a one page description of your user’s and his/her needs and wants.

This description should be used to help justify your system decisions. HINT: This project is supposed to be about the USER - not the system.

System design review (3 of 4: Part 2 - Systems Diagram) This section should show a simple diagram of how the major hardware components of your system interact. Example: User’s iMac (OSX) connects to the Netgear RP614 cable router. The router is connected to the cable modem provide by the ISP. There is an HP LaserJet 1022 printer connected to the iMac. (and so forth) This should be displayed in a visual format. This section should show a simple diagram of how the major hardware components of your system interact.

System design review (4 of 4: Part 3 - List of Components) In this section you should have a detailed list of every component in your system. This should include the hardware inside the computer (i.e. processor type and speed, hard drive type and capacity, etc.), the peripherals (monitor, printer, etc.), software (i.e. Windows XP, Photoshop CS2, etc.), and the cost for each item. If you chose a computer from a retail manufacturer such as Dell, or Apple, you should put the price of the machine and list the specifications of the machine. Be sure to list where the products were purchased (the retailer, not the URL). In this section you should have a detailed list of every component in your system.

Questions Thank you very much. Are there any questions? Thank you very much. Are there any questions?

“What’s Inside a Computer” Break out session. Please get with your groups and someone will bring a machine over to briefly go over what all is inside a computer and what it looks like. We will also be reviewing your system designs with you, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask the person at your group. Break out session.
