YouTube Week

This week we worked on YouTube. Now I use YouTube all the time to watch videos and my kids love to use it to watch wheels on the bus and those weird videos where people open the eggs and see what's inside. However, I have never posted anything on YouTube before. Whenever I think of posting to YouTube I just think Justin Bieber and think no further.

So I made a profile. My picture is me in a baking shirt and background picture my latest cake. I did make the mistake of filming my first two videos vertically instead of horizontally so the next video I will be more mindful of that.

I put my videos into iMovie and added some transitions and some words here and there. This assignment has been challenging for me because it's a few things I have not done in awhile. It was a nice refresher in iMovie as well as a lot of good information in YouTube.

For my review I am hoping to review either a recipe or a local bakery, depending on how motivated I feel to bake this week 😂😋

Virtual Reality

Virtual reality was the topic of the week this week. I had never worked with this before and I find it fascinating! When I thought about virtual reality I always associated it with gaming. I had seen those commercials on TV with people staring into a small box holding their phone, freaking out about how "cool" or "awesome" something was. To be honest, it is a bit ridiculous watching someone with those, since you cannot see what they are seeing. When our professor brought some to class and I took a look I understood why people thought it was so cool. Looking through those and being able to turn one way and another, with the image changing, is pretty cool! Then, today in class, a fellow student showed us what they use virtual reality for. They have a camera at her work which makes online 3D models of houses which are being sold so you can take a virtual tour. I had never stopped to think about how those online 3D models are made. Listening to her explain the wor...

Final Class

Well, today was the final day of my Emerging Media class. It has been one of my best classes in my long, long college career so I am a bit bummed that it is over. It is exciting to be done with the semester though (almost)! Only one semester left and then done!! This class helped me learn a lot about social media. I had been boycotting hashtags heavily since I first saw them. I still don't use them on a daily basis, however, I now see that there is a point to them. I think I will forever be irritated by people who use 20 on one post on Facebook, but when used for their intended purpose I think they are very helpful. I'm still not a big fan of Twitter, however, Instagram has grown on me. I think I will continue to use that. I like the shorter format with more graphics than words. This class also helped me realize that, though I do love to bake, it will stay a hobby. I have had people suggest turning it into a business and I have considered that from time to time.
