Multimedia Education Factors

 On this particular blog I will be using my video posted before as a reference in order to identify the factors that were taught in a particular subject that I am taking.

Affective - It shows a beautiful example which could move the hearts of the viewers.

Cognitive - The statement can be easily understood by the viewers.


Coherence - Shows two images without anything else, without added decorations, and the explanation is already being narrated.


Embodiment - The figure on the screen embodies humanlike facial expressions while also maintaining eye contact which will hold the viewer's attention.


Image - Shows a knight on screen when the narrator uses a knight as an example.

Modality - Shows both graphics and text on screen.

Multimedia - Incorporates graphics in order to reinforce the image into the viewer's mind.

Personalization - The screen text addresses the viewer directly, which will keep their attention.


Pre-training and Contiguity - The image on screen is already well-known amongst the multimedia community, while the labels are directed onto the part it indicates.


Psychomotor - It can be easily understood by the viewers which in turn can help them easily execute the actions.


Redundancy - The on screen text does not repeat with the narrator, but simply puts the main idea onto the screen.

Segmenting - Uses title cards to separate the segments which make the information easier to understand by the viewer.

Signalling - Emphasizes that the figure on screen is "WRONG"

Voice - The whole video has been narrated by a human voice in a rather controlled environment with minimal background noise.

Multimedia Websites that you can use

     It's been quite some time since I last went on here, and this time around it's also on the same reasons why I did this in the first place, which is for Educational purposes, specifically for my subject Multimedia Education which brings me to what I came here for.


Today I will be listing some websites the provide the following services, namely:

-Publishing of multimedia presentation

        ⦿Which allows the creator of the website to insert various texts, images, and videos to their site.

-Communication tools

        ⦿Which allows the creator to interact and communicate with their audience.

-Designing and Editing multimedia elements

        ⦿Which allows the creator of the website to potentially edit mistakes on their submitted posts and media.

-Storage of multimedia projects

        ⦿Which allows the creators of the website to have convenience wherein they can draft their posts in advance and not use any other application.


So from my research I have found several but will only put some of them here. 

The first one would be pretty obvious, which is Blogger itself.

1. Blogger

    Blogger allows the users to create blogs wherein they can post anything that they want, from pictures, to videos, texts obviously, and even hyperlink to redirect their audience to their source material or to their reference.


2. Canva

    In Canva, its main service would be to provide users with elements and templates so they can edit pictures and texts however they want to. They're given freedom with how and where they place the elements, and even from where they get it from. 


3. Facebook

    Facebook is also an obvious website, because people can post whatever is on their mind and even receive instantaneous feedback from those they have connections to. It also allows them to instantly message people no matter how far they are as long as they are connected virtually through facebook.


So these are the three websites that came to mind first and they're all pretty obvious choices. If you know of more obscure sites that also fit in the qualifications that I've mentioned before, don't hesitate to leave a comment below to let me know about it.

Literary Works

The subject this time, will be about my literary works. Though they may be crude, unfinished, and rather rushed, I still felt proud at the time I finished them and clicked the publish button. Keep in mind that these literary works are Fan Fictions, you might not like them, but the fandom loves them. You might think of it as unoriginal and sloppy, which some may be, but that doesn't change the fact that I started from the ground up with fan fictions.

These were made in around 2015- 2016 with the most recent (and most presentable) update at December 2018.

My updates became rather inconsistent when summer of 2016 ended, only being able to update bi-monthly, to monthly, to even as bad as yearly.

I had a burn out with making stories, and also school got in the way and as such I didn't have time to be dwelling on imaginative stories, or rather I just got tired of it.

The following are links to the works that I made.




The last one is the start of a series of my proudest work, I already have a basic plot to it and such.

These might not seem like much but these are still my life works. 

Childish and dumb some may seem, I'm still proud of them as they showcase my progress throughout the years and I treat them as my own children.

Hobbies and Crafts

This might be a little off the mark if we're talking about digital work, since today I'll be showing everyone about my personal hobbies and also provide some pictures as sample. I want you, the readers, to know more about me, even though you might just read my blogs in passing and not mind me. Analyzing myself, this particular hobby of mine really tested my patience, diligence, resourcefulness, and precision. 

I'm talking about origami. 

It's the art of folding paper which is mostly associated with the Japanese culture. I do have my fair share of interest in the Japanese culture, such as anime and manga and the like, but there's also origami which piqued my interest.

It started as some things would, from childhood. Ever since I was a kid I was rather artistic, or at least that's what my parents told me. It further made me pursue my inclination towards the arts, no matter what form it took.

As I grew up I took interest in singing and dancing, though I wasn't very talented in the latter. I tried learning the guitar but gave up halfway through. In high school, I learned a little bit about playing the piano, but I can't play it professionally. 

Then in that time period, I grew more and more interested in origami. 

I have cousins from Japan, and when they visited I played with them a lot as a kid. They taught me how to make a paper heart, I learned somehow different drawing techniques from them, and I got more absorbed into their culture.

I practiced more and more, and researched more and more, until I got to the point where I am now. Suffice to say, I have improved a lot over the years.

Here are some works of mine.

 

 

Pictured above are origami flower bouquets, made from paper, obviously, some yarn, some crepe papers, and a lot of tape. Each bouquet took me at least 2 to 4 days to finish, but during that time of course I had other things to do so I couldn't really focus on it alone.

I don't really have these anymore as I made them as gifts to people special in my life on special occasions, namely their birthdays.

I do plan on making money off of these soon, if only I had more exposure.

Though I put my blood, sweat, and tears into these works and gave them away, I know from their expressions that they truly appreciated what I made from them.

 

These are also origamis, though specifically they are called modular origamis as you would have to assemble them, with or without glue.

These are called kusudama, translated to Medicine Balls in English.

These were also made for special people on their special day.

I also have other works, such as an origami dragon and phoenix, unfortunately I didn't get a picture of them.


More on my hobbies, I have also picked up on how to create dream catchers. I won't say any more, since it's just the same details as before, I learned about it, researched about it, then practiced and practiced and practiced.

 


In conclusion, I have a lot of spare time and can dedicate a lot to a certain cause.

My Past Artworks

Today's blog will be about me previous artworks, unfortunately I can only provide a few pictures as most of them were made traditionally and I didn't have the means to turn them into digital ones.


These were made in around 2016 or so, I cn't exactly remember what year but these were one of the first few and ACTUALLY presentable digital artworks that I actually published and posted in my social media accounts.

These were made in MyPaint and the brushes that I used gave off that loead pencil feeling as if you were simply making traditional art, and I loved it back in the day.

My art style was still in the scope of anime, but further down the road I did my best to change it into my own style.


This was also made around the same year, if not later.

This was made in Krita, and I utilized the symmetry tool greatly in this particular artwork.


In conclusion, looking back on my previous artworks I can clearly see the huge difference in my skills and also in how I use my tools. My previous artworks aren't the best, but I can see how it made me happy when I finished them.
