I believe that video production is a becoming more important in the technology of the future. As a future business educator, I plan to use video production in my classroom. It is necessary that my students become fully aware of all the advances in video production. Therefore, I plan to attend conferences every year to find out the latest and greatest techniques with video production. I have been doing a field experience at Eastland Career Center, and I have spent a lot of time in the Interactive Media classroom. The things these students are doing, are exactly the kinds of things I want to teach my students. For instance, how to use Windows Movie Maker, how to download actual video from the Internet, and how to add text and music to your movie. I believe I will use video production as a professional, for as long as I am a teacher. I will be able to present videos that I have worked on myself, and others that people have done over the years. I also believe I will have no problem adding this aspect of media to my curriculum.

My video will be sort of a continuation of my first one. I will add more video of Hawaii, and I will use video from the song I used in the first video. The song was Kenny Chesney's "No shoes, No shirt, No problems. My first video was about The Brenning Family trip to Hawaii. The final video project will be about the same theme......which is our family trip. However, it will also be kind of my own little music video with Kenny. I would like to make this video look as if my family pictures are inside Kenny Chesney's music video. I also want to add more pictures to describe the setting of where we were and how it looked. Hawaii is such a beautiful place, I want the video to look as if you are coming by plane to the island. I will use Windows Movie Maker to create this video. I will also use video from a Hawaiian tourist video, from Kenny Chesney's Music Video of "No shoes, No shirt, No problems," and pictures from my family vacation. Adam Dendinger is also going to be working on this video. He will be involved in getting the video from Kenny Chesney music video, and coming up with the best way to fit them into the movie. I will be deciding what pictures go where, the transitions, and getting more clips from the Hawaiian tourist video. We plan to work together on monday afternoons, Friday mornings, and in class on thursday nights. If we should find that we need to get together more than that, then we will do so. We have set up to meet every time in the computer lab in Ramseyer Hall in the basement. I believe that we both will be very pleased with what we turn into for the final video project.

The process of creating my video was a very interesting one. It took me awhile to decide what I was going to use in my video. I fist thought of all the pictures that I have on my computer. The majority of my pictures are from my 2006 June trip to Hawaii. I decided to work alone because these are my pictures, and I prefer to work on them by myself. I worked on my home computer, because all my pictures are stored there. It took me a long time to figure out all of the techniques and different ways to make a video. I took some video off the internet, from a Hawaii tourist video. I also used my pictures from my trip, and some Hawaiian music my mother owned to complete the video. I really enjoyed this process of making this video, and will continue to make many videos in the future. I will also enjoy teaching this software to my classes when I become a teacher.

I believe that graphic design and page layout definitely have an impact on today's literacy and learning. Graphic design and page layout create addtional clarity, neatness, and organization for lesson plans. They end up making a boring and somwhat dull lesson, more interesting. They also catch a student's eye, and attention, which helps in the overall understanding of the lesson. It also caters to many learning styles, such as visual to actually see what the lesson consists of. In addtion to this, students will be encouraged to create their own graphic designs and page layouts to better understand the information they read about. It is important that students understand how to use and apply things like graphic designs and page layouts to presentations they themselves perfrom in front of the class.
