The Evergreen State College presents:

Multimedia Presentation and Literacy
First Summer Session - 2001
4 Credits

Using basic digital media compositing tools including Photoshop, Powerpoint and iMovie, this course introduces students to the concepts and techniques for creating dynamic presentations. Students will also work with audio mixing to create sound tracks utilizing narration, sound effects, and music. Screenings, readings, and technical workshops will be used to develop a critical eye for the consumption and production of media. Seminars will focus on issues related to media literacy. Students will gain basic skills in scripting, storyboarding, production and post-production. This class focuses on media that is accessible and easy to use, using common source materials. Credit will be based on participation and completion of assigned presentations.

Important Note!!! We have discovered an iMovie bug regarding saving to a PC formatted Zip disk. There are three things you can do to sucessfully save your project:

Copy your project folder including the Media folder (from the Macintosh HD > Documents Folder) to Scratch on Calawah. Once there, copy it to your PC formatted Zip disk.
Buy a Macintosh formatted Zip disk and copy your project (from the Macintosh HD > Documents Folder) to your Zip disk.
Check out the Firewire Harddrive from the Consultant's Desk in the Computer Center. Plug the AC adapter into the harddrive and then into a power source. Plug the firewire cable into the firewire port on the back of the Macintosh G4. Copy your project folder (from the Macintosh HD > Documents Folder) onto the Firewire Harddrive. When you are done using the Firewire Harddrive, use the File > Put Away command to 'disconnect' the drive. Then unhook the firewire and power cables and return all three items to the Consultant's desk.

Remember to work on your project from the harddrive. In other words, before working on your project, copy your project folder into the Documents folder on the Macintosh HD.
