According to Microsoft, (2015) Windows Movie Maker is a structure
of windows Vista that allows individuals to design home movies and slide shows
on the computer. This tool allows the figures to look professional because they
can have titles, transitions, effects, music, and even narration. Windows Movie
Maker can be used to publish the movie and share it. There are three areas of
Movie Maker. The tasks panes, the storyboard or timeline and the preview
monitor. Also, there is a menu bar and contents pane.
You must choose the pane to work in, according to what you
want to do. The task pane consist of the common task can be used for editing
and publishing of movies. The collection pane collects clips. The collection
pane is on the left and the contents pane is on the right. The contents pane
shows what’s happening while you are working. The contents pane and the
collection pane allows you to take clips to the storyboard or timeline or to
the preview monitor. The storyboard and the timeline is in the area that is
used to make the movie. The storyboard allows you to rearrange the clips. Audio
clips are not displayed on the storyboard. However, they can be seen in the
timeline view which is more detailed. The timeline allows persons to alter the
clips. The timeline view allows persons to preview everything before printing
it as a movie. There are buttons to the bottom monitor that are used during
this process. After everything is completed to ones likeness the movie can then
be published. (Richardson J., 2013)
During the process of making the movie persons will need to
follow each step carefully. Photos and videos will be used. This can be done by
using a USB cable to connect the camera to the computer. To begin making a
movie, any video that should be used should be added to Movie Maker. Then, the
video will be cut or reduced so that only the part needed would be used.
Sometimes a video may be split into two smaller parts so that the video is
fixed to play in any given order. Also, the speed of the video can be altered.
The audio editing tools allows persons to adjust the volume and fade the music
in and out and even change when the music starts or end. This will make the
movie sound professional. At the end, a theme can be chosen so that the title
and credits can be added. This movie can be edited to [produce the final piece,
before sharing on the web. This process will afford individuals the opportunity
to watch their movie online.
Just like other professional movies that would have been
upgraded, my movie can be upgraded too. I am hoping that one day my movie
(Living and Non-Living Things) will be upgraded. This movie was structured to
for students at the grade two level. Therefore, it is simple and straight
forward so that they will be able to grasp the concept, after watching it. It
is anticipated that after watching this movie, the students who are ages six
and seven should be able to correctly differentiate between a living thing and
a non-living thing. Hence, this piece can be improved by using the tools Window
Movie Maker has made available, to join more complex and creative videos as
they are being split. They will be split and fixed into a more appropriate
order, to suit students at a higher level. The speed, volume and fading in and
out of the music would be altered to motivate the students and to create a more
advanced and professional sound. The results would most definitely be an
improved version of Living and Non-Living Things by Ayodele McCurchin.
