NMD 302 week 12

This is the last week for study in New Media Advanced Studio class. At the last class, our final promotion for library were showed by each group and each group has presentation by individual. In my presentation, i introduced my part in the final production. What i response for and what problems i had come across and how can i save them. That is a good experience for me to study in this kind of class. It gives me more opportunities to interact with other students and even to learn how to communication with others. English as my second language, sometimes i really feel shy to talk with others (I have Chinese accent, my pronounce is not very well). This class provide a good situation for me to have more communication and cooperation during this semester.The thing is very important to cooperate with other students, because we have different backgrounds, different skills, sometimes we may misunderstand with each other. So, what we can do is communication and use different aspects to think the same problem. This experience will always develop my future study.

This week is the last week for us to edit the video and produce the final verison. Yesterday morning in the class, i have almost finish the editing of my part. During the editing, I came across many problems, such as the screencasting for Libguide, Endnotes and references which is one of the parts of Jayshree's work in library. Compare with using Final Cut Pro or another software to screencast, it is more important to think about the structure of this part, hoe to show the three elements together and put them into just around 13 seconds video. The speed of screencasting cannot too quickly. If I show everything of these three elements, the time of screencasting will become longer and longer. It means that the tempo in this part will too quick to miss the important detail in this part. So Idecide to show the process of finding Libguide, Endnotes and references from library web-site. In brief, every difficult thing is an chanllenge for me. It increases my experiences of study. After the study of using FCP to edit video, i found that i can do it. Another important thing is that i should say thank you for everyone. Especially, Julie, she gives me many useful information about Jayshree. Yuri, she is my group mate, we working together. Aaron and Jerry give me a hand to finish the screencasting and final editing. Thaks a lot.

This monday morning, the video of each group was showed in the class and the feedback was gaven. Some parts of video were pointed that it could be edited better by using another method or change style. The things which should be changed and corrected  also were mentioned. In brief, it points the shortages and advantages for each group. The useful suggestions and commons point a advanced aspect to develop our library promotion. In my part, Firstly, i need correct the sound to normolize, otherwise, it is a big mistake so that audiences cannot hear what the people talk about. Next, i should spend time on the part which shows workshop, Endnote and Libguide of the work of Jayshree. I will use screencasting to show this part and add it into the whole video. Then, i shoule pay attention on the background which relate with Jayshree's talking and make them more clearly. So i will edit this part again and make it looks more fequency. Last i need add some effects and transitions into it. Another thing is that, two more classmates will help our group to finish the final assisgment. Thaks for help.

NMD 302 week 9

This week, our group work on editing about liaison librarians and research services coordinator. From the editing, we review the films which we had already done before a few weeks. We found a terrible mistake which exists in the shooting about liaison librarians. Something wrong with the focus setting of camera, so that final frame shows a low quality and not clearly. In order to correct this situation and catch up with others groups, we decide to refilm this part at friday morning after the class. Athough we have to refilm the liaison librarians, we get more experiences of studying from this mistake. From now, we finish the filming about liaison librarians and coordinator, starting to edit the clips and put them together. This weekend we need to keep going on the editing of the clips. Although our work include lots of details, everything should be all right.

This week, we took film with Jayshree who is the research services coordinator in library. Jayshree provides research services for a PHD students which research crocodile eggs. This is the one by one supports for PHD students by Jayshree. In addition, we film an interview with Jayshree. She explains the part which coordinator provides for Phd students and what she does in library. We separate the different part of Jayshree' s supporting and film each of them. In order to get high quality clips, we also record the voice of Jayshree at the time with filming.  Now, we already finish all the filming with liaison librarians and reseach services coordinator. After this, we start to edit the clips with Final Cut Pro and Soundtruck. We also need screencasting in our final assignment to show the libguide, endnotes and some specific detail about liaisons and coordinator. Today, we try to use screenflow to do the screencasting. Then, we will edit the screencasting into the interview filming and to connect with the filming. Using screencasting to show the things that liaison and coordinator talk about in the film.

NMD 302 week 7

This week our group will keep going to shoot films about liaison librarians. Monday afternoon, we had a interview shooting with Bernadette and recorded her voice as well. In order to edit each part easily and accurately, we separated video and audio when we recorded them, Bernadette explained the things that CDU liaison librarians support for students and staffs. We also stimulated some working situations about liaison librarians, such as Bernadette provides help for student, answer the questions one by one and Julie answers the phone. Then we would like to use Screen Flow to screencast Endnote, Libguide, Ask us and Online library. The shooting interview with Bernadette as the foreground at the corner of our final screen, screencasting which are related to the talking of Bernadette will be added to the background.

NMD 302 week6

At Monday morning,the "story board" were introduced by each group. Good ideas and shortages were pointed. From the discussion, our group decided to divide our story-board into two parts which are Liaison Librarians and Research Services Coordinator. From the help of Eric and Julie, what we need to do is quite clearly and their suggestions are very useful to make our complicated work more sample.
This week our group concentrate in the first parts-Liaison Librarians. Firstly, we need show the different responsibilities of liaisons, such as Education, Law, Health and Business. Next, liaisons provide help to teach students how to use the CDU library website and show the different functions of online library, especially the "trainning class". After that, we also need to mention that Endnotes and Libguide on the library website. Ebooks and online tutorial are included by Libguide. At this part, we prepare using screen shoots to show their functions. Last one is that the contact information with liaison librarians. They have public email address, phone number on the library website and even provide the help for students one on one.
We already have a conversation with Bernadette who is one of the liaison librarians. we will organize one day to interview with her. Another thing is that this friday, we will go to the trainning class in library and start shooting this part.
