Animoto Review:

    Using Animoto to create this slideshow was relatively easy and straightforward. The most difficult piece for me was more so within my own organization of the files on my computer when trying to find the ones I wanted to upload onto the slideshow. I could not figure out how to edit the slideshow very well, but luckily I did not necessarily need to, having used Pizlr to edit the photos before adding them to the slideshow. In part, I did not do much exploring around the Animoto website because of my use of Pixlr for manipulating the images. 

    For this slideshow I decided to display some photos I have taken of my surroundings that I have found fascinating over the years. As far as what you can do with the Animoto, it would work great with any set of photos. 

    Composition:

    The two different photo compositions I displayed on two images within my slideshow were analogous color scheme and the rule of thirds. I displayed analogous color scheme on image number nine, where the focus was on one of the third lines, with the sun being the main focal point and the wing of the plane being a second focal point. The rule of thirds is displayed on image number 10, with the colors being blue and green, which are beside one another on the color wheel, and the white of the clouds being the accent color.

  Reflection: Above you will see the 960x200 pixel banner I created using the online resource Pizlr. Using Pixlr I was able to make a custom-sized banner relatively easily, using the tools provided to insert images and text to make the finished product you see above. For this banner, I decided to find three logos with coincide with the areas of focus for the week, which will be discussed in the remainder of this blog.  Social Bookmarking: While social bookmarking resources are not commonly used as much right now, these websites could be used to save (bookmark) and label different resources and tools in one space. On these sites, the individual who inserts a bookmark can either publish such as public or private, which can then be looked up on these sites using the label assigned to each bookmark. The main use of social bookmarking sites is to make it easier to save and share bookmarks collectively in one space, making it easier to search and find these resources again when they...

Copyright and Fair Use

  Creativity, Copyright, and Fair Use More than likely, everybody uses online resources at one point or another, and along with this comes the need for understanding copyright and fair use. Copyright allows the creator of an original work to have legal ownership over their work. Everything we see online daily was created by somebody; pictures, music, videos, articles, etc. In most cases these resources we use are copyrighted by the creator, which is meant to ensure their work is not used by others without permission and approval of how it will be used, alterations, or giving credit to said creator. However, some resources found online are in the Public Domain. If a piece of work is under the Public Domain, this means that it is not copyrighted and can be used freely by anyone. Finally, there is the term 'fair use'. This refers to resources that are free to be used, without requesting permission, but come with restrictions. When using a work that is 'fair use' it is impo...

Accessibility and Equity in Media Accessibility Features & Requirements: Accessibility in the world of multimedia and technology is important in making tools usable to everybody and providing inclusivity to all potential disabilities of the audience. Several factors should be taken into account in terms of accessibility, including hearing, vision, cognitive impairments, and mobility. Things that may be accessible to one, are not always accessible to everyone, and therefore consideration of the potential issues of your viewers is essential in providing a good resource. Not only will this make your resource user-friendly and accessible to all, but some laws require anything uploaded to the public internet to be accessible and functional for all individuals, including those with disabilities (U.S. Access Board, 2024). Below are some ways to take into consideration, how to make media resources accessible to all users: Vision: Large text, or a tool to adjust the text sizing. Unless an i...
