Aitana’s and Olatz’s Video

At first we had decided to do a video about Plantzia, a town near the sea. However, seeing that we did not know how to develop this idea, we decided to change it.
We finally opted for the idea of making a recopilation of the 50 most wonderful and beautiful places of the world. We decided to chose 10 places from each of the 5 continents.

Equipment used:

For some of the photographs we used our own cameras because we had been to some of the places such as , New York ( Times Square and Brookyln Bridge)
For other photographs we used a scanner and the remaining photographs we collected from Internet.
To make the video we first put the photos in PowerPoint with the information and then we took a picture of the screen and opened it in Paint. Once opened we saved it as a jpg file so we could insert this file in Movie Maker.
Once all the pictures and audio were inserted in Movie Maker we edit it with Movie Maker’s main features ( such as Transitions and Effects)

Delivery Format:

When having to deliver it we had several difficulties: Firstly, we tried to send it via Gmail but the file was to large. After, we tried to compress the video (ZIP Folder) but it was still too large. Then we had the magnificent idea of using Dropbox , however; when it was 94% uploaded, the computer froze. Finally we decided to create a Youtube account and upload the video there.
