My Test Video

Here is my test video that I made. I made this because this is practice on getting used to the program called Power Director.

What did I learn about OPAC?

What is OPAC?
OPAC is a system used by Shatin College. It is used for searching the library book sin Shatin College. There is also a Dewey Number.

For in example, if you typed up the keyword 'Basketball', then a book turning up on the search could be "100 Greatest Basketball Players" and the Dewey Number would be 796.323/PAT.

Alternative method of use:
If you searched the keyword 'Union Jack', and nothing relevant came up, then you could alternatively search for a synonym of the keyword 'Union Jack', e.g. 'British flag' or 'Britian'.

Here is another example: if you search the keyoword 'meteors', and nothing relevant came up, then you could also search for the keyword 'space', or 'astronomy'.

Dog with wall background

Here is the dog against the wall background. First we found the wall background and the picture of the dog. Then we opened Adobe Photoshop and opened the dog picture. We used the Magic Wand tool to crop the dog off the background and we copied it. Next, we opened another Adobe Photoshop and opened the picture of the wall. Finally, we just copied it in.

The most difficult part of using Word to lay out the pages:

The most difficult part of using Word to lay out the pages was because I wasn't too familiar with Microsoft Word 2007 format style. I couldn't really find the correct buttons to press so mostly I was using keyboard short cuts e.g. Ctrl-V (Paste), Ctrl-C (Copy), Ctrl-A (Select all). Another thing was that I thought Microsoft Word wasn't really designed to do this kind of work. I feel Microsoft Publisher is more suited to the work.

The easiest thing to do:

The easiest thing to do was to upload the image and some text onto 'Blogger'. In found that easier than the other tasks simply because I thought the others required a bit more time and you needed to do a bit more.

Specific changes I would have made to my work:

The only thing I would have changed was the layout of the pages. I would have added more decorations e.g. pictures, colours, e.t.c.

How well I managed my time:

I think I managed my time quite well in the aspect of finishing faster than others. However, I think I could have added more detail to my work, as mentioned above.

Would I change the amount of time I spent on anything:

Yes I would. I would change it in the way of using less time on posting the post on 'Blogger' and spend more time on the actual page layout for the 'Brain Booster Potion', as mentioned many times earlier.
