Today in communication technology class was the first day to work on our second round of graphics projects. The majority of the classs today was spent on an introduction of the assignment by Mr. Tammik. Unlike the other assigments in audio, video, and graphics, this graphics project is done individually (with an individual mark). For this project, we are to create a wordmark for a product or service that we also have to fabricate. After we create the wordmark, we are to paste the wordmark onto a business card and letterhead. Hopefully, this project will go well.

Today was a rather lazy day in communication technology class. My group had already finished with our video project, while the other group had not. I think we mostly had this time advantage because we used the HD digital SLR camera (which shoots video) instead of the standard video camera that uses tapes. By doing so , we saved a lot of precious time with the "capturing" of video, and editing of files. Unlike the previous video project, we did not have to scramble to finish everything. Instead, we were able to get the small details perfect for the project. Hopefully, our second video project will receive a good grade.

Today in communication technology class was the second last day to work on our second round of video projects. My group is nearly done our Public Service Announcement, which is a relief. The only things we have left to do are to fiddle with some of the text in our project, and to adjust the colour settings to black and white for the some of the shots. I feel that we have done a good job on this video assignment, as we made efficient use of time, and were careful to not make any major errors.

Commmunication technology class today was yet another day to work on our video projects. My group is currently working on adding text, and positioning the shots in order to match with the music. The text is rather troublesome to work with at times, because we have to use another program called motion to create it. The files that this program creates are rather large, and are difficult to import at times. Our group had to spend a lot of time simply waiting tfor the files of text to save, or import.

Today in communication technology, Mr. Tammik showed us how to properluy edit an record a garage band file. We found out that we couldnt speak too loudly into the microphone, because there would be distortion in the resulting audio recording. We also learnt how to splice files, and some shortcuts on garage band. These are very convenient, and hopefully will help our group work efficiently later on.

Today was the last day of schoolk before the winter break. Most of the communication technolgy class today was spent dawdling around waiting for the final bell to ring. My group has submitted our audio projectto the class folder, so we spent much of the class watching videos, and talking pictures on the blue CG background. The course will soon come to a close after the winnter break.

Communication technolgy class today was rather productive. Group F is just about done our audio project. We were able to finish 95% of the editing today. The remaining 5% of the editing is mostly on small details of the project.The rest of the editing is going to be done tomorrow. Mr. Tammik extended the deadline for this project, as he did for many of the pther assignments. Tomorrow, we will be submiting all the components of the audio assigmment to be marked.
