Multimedia video using Multimedia

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7P-fwgUYbg
This video is very cool! It tells you what multimedia is by using different kinds of multimedia. The guy uses stop motion which to describe what multimedia is. He explains that you use audio, text, pictures, video and just two or more elements put together to make a multimedia piece. He made the audio sound like an old nintendo pac man game. It was really cool how the sounds match up with the post-its he used for his stop motion. So much time must have been put into this but it makes for a really awesome piece. It explains what multimedia is while using it and does a great job at it.

This is a really cool video using all different types of multimedia. It looks really fun to make. I like how the music goes with the different pictures and scenes used throughout the piece and I really like how the camera moved. Also they integrated home owned stuff like leg go toys and plugs and so on. It really worked well in the piece and looked really cool. It be cool to learn how to make something like this.

Kiosk with big buttons

This is what I think of when I see a kiosk. Big buttons that are noticeable for everyone to read ad really easy to move through. I want mine to be super simple like this. I would stick with the school colors and not be so vibrant, but I would have buttons that are really important for new students to see on the home screen and maybe a little bit of text but not to much, and it will be more detailed in text once you click on the button. I really want it to be simple and readable. I cant stress that enough. This one is nice, except for the super bright colors. It looks like it is marketed more towards girls.

CBC college Kiosk

This college kiosk website is very mature looking. To me it isn't as simple as I personally would like. I think if the fonts were different sizes on the buttons it would work a little bit better. My eye kind of gets lost with all the information on this site. I do like the boxes on the left side. The are very forward. That is something I want my kiosk to look like. very forward and to the point. This kiosk is good though if it is targeting older audience. I want mine to target younger students and be more fun looking.

Basic Kiosk

This kiosk is very simple. I went onto the website and it seemed very understandable and easy to follow along. The buttons were really big to see and very readable. Other kiosk I looked it they were fine but not as simple. To me, this kiosk is very simple and works well for students and parents who have no clue what they are looking for. The layout of this kiosk makes it really easy for a person to follow along. I will probably do something more simple like this with my kiosk. especially since my video and music I have made already is targeted to new students and high schoolers, I want my kiosk to be very basic.

Sylvan Commercial

In this sylvan commercial, the music is very subtle and calming. This type of music is appropriate for the piece because in the commercial it mainly markets toward parents whose children are struggling in school. It has some peaceful piano at the beginning and formulates into some nice strings giving it a very mature sound to it. They keep the sounds repeating at the end and not to random because the commercial was only about 30 seconds long.

Audio in Depression Commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVNZ8ZBP5gY
This is a commercial based on depression. The music chosen is very appropriate for this commercial. It is very smooth and classical sounding. It starts off with a smooth piano and a lil crash comes in and more of a beat is added but it is still very calm and smoothing. The sounds repeat about three times. It is not noticeable though because of the talking going on about the medicine. It sounded very nice.

Music in Promo video

This college promo definitely uses garage band but I think the person who made it did a fairly good job. The music matches up well with the words and the people used in the video. With the right equipment this video could have been so much more cooler looking. I really like how the music starts off almost suspenseful sounding and gets louder and louder. I actually really liked the audio in this piece.

Garage Band-more advance than I thought

This is crazy! I did not you could make full songs using garage band. I have always messed with it before but I only used their sounds they already had. I am not sure though if a person recorded the sounds and out them in garage band themselves or found the sounds on garage band. I am pretty much garage band illiterate but I will be learning more about it soon. It's cool though. I love music and have played around with it some but it'd be awesome to make a full blown song.

Garage Band Electric Song

This guy made a song using garage band. It sound call electrical but it is a good job! he made the sounds go well together and I like how at the beginning it started out quiet and got louder. That is something I will have to look into for my music piece I am doing for my video. I want the whole song tie in together like this one and not be so random. Because with all the sounds in garage band I am sure it is very easy to get carried away and make random songs.
