2B AIT, Task 2, Journal 1

Yesterday I got some feedback from Mr. Phillips about my last assignment. I lost 8 marks on the credits so I decided to go home and create some – I watched the credits at the end of a movie and wrote up the information (music by, producer, editor etc). I then emailed the assignment for re-submission. Since I was away Tuesday and Wednesday and I Nathaniel and I have 2 weeks to finish the assignment. Today Nathaniel and I searched for an online video stream downloader. The first one we looked at could only download into .Mp4 so when Nathaniel discovered www.mediaconverter.org we used that because you can change the resolution, format, size, bit rate etc. However, after we downloaded some videos we realized that the quality was very poor, and even after we set it to the highest resolution the quality was still horrible for full screen viewing. We now realize that we have to use real player to download the videos to a good resolution – the problem is that real player is only installed in the school library. Nathaniel and I have decided to go to the library next lesson and download and convert all our videos in one lesson so we can start cutting and editing next lesson. After we have got the correct videos for the segment we can start to film and record our commentaries. Since we only have 2 weeks left I don’t think most of the class will finish on time, in about a week Nathaniel and I will review our situation and if we don’t think we will finish on time we’ll ask for an extension – instead of risking loosing marks.
