Interwar Period on Prezi

Prezi Reflection

I honestly think that Prezi is an awesome tool for making advanced presentations. The fact that you are able to freely interact with it during a presentation is really cool. PowerPoint does not have this feature, and it really surpasses it just by this. It also has many entertaining tools that keep you interested in what your doing, even rotating a word can be fun. All of this is really good stuff, but just like everything else, it also has some flaws. I love the zooming in tool, but it has a not very big limit, and it kind of shortens your capacity to make a completely professional presentation. It also moves slowly when you're zoomed in, and that kind of makes it frustrating at times. Even if it has some errors that could be fixed, I totally prefer Prezi over PowerPoint.

Prezi wasn't that hard for me because I watched the whole step-by-step video on the main page. Here's a link to this tutorial: http://prezi.com/learn/getting-started/ I didn't find anything that hard since I saw this video and we mostly used the basic tools. Although I did find it a little difficult to master the zoom tool, since it was kind of laggy. I would totally choose Prezi over PowerPoint if I had to do another presentation. This is because both the maker (me) and whoever is watching get entertained by Prezi. You can interact with Prezi presentations while they are playing, and that just makes it way more interesting. I hope that we can continue using it, it is really innovating and new, that is always good for learning stuff.

PSA Reflection

I think that my PSA commercial was fairly good. The camera wasn't so sketchy as others and it had good quality. The story is also entertaining to watch and I really enjoyed doing it. It was kind of hard to think about the idea for the video at first, but it all worked out. We also had some problems with the camera and uploading the video, but fortunately we solved everything. I hope you enjoy watching it just as much as we enjoyed doing it. Eduardo thought it was annoying, but he just doesn't know how to appreciate life.

If I could change it I would just make a couple of improvements. I would increase the volume of Eduardo's voice because you can barely hear him at times. I would also make the end look a bit more realistic and not that acted. Other than that, I think that the rest was fairly well made. The second scene is the most clear one and the best recorded one I think. The lines don't have any spelling or grammar mistakes so no worries there. I'm pretty happy with what we created.

The best video in my opinion was Raul's and Mahonry's. I know that Raul is really into filming and video editing and he always puts an extra effort to accomplish a good job. I have always supported him and I honestly love his work. Mahonry didn't do much to be honest, but Raul did a really great job. He put different songs and recorded from different angles. He also added some effects in certain parts, it was quite professional compared to other of the class's videos. I think he deserves the first place because of this, it was a really great PSA project.
