Session 7 - Video Editing Software
Video Cameras The largest video camera market would have t o be the Action camera, most notably, the GoPro Hero. Here are a couple of examples of the range of Video Equipment available Taking video Taking video is simple and you can use a dedicated video camera, or the video/movie mode on a digital still camera or your smartphone. Video from a smartphone or still camera will not be as good as that taken with a video camera as a video camera will usually have a much better optical zoom and you will not need to rely on digital zoom to take closeups.

Note the very large price range! Activity 1 What is the difference in the specifications of a lower end projector...
Session 5 - Photo Sequencing
Today's session is mostly about how to make a calendar in Publisher as well as some other ideas on how you can present your photos. It is one thing to have lovely digital photos, beautifully edited, but you need to be able to show them off as well. It used to be easy when photos were developed and printed and you could bore the pants off people by bringing out packet after packet of holiday snaps. Does anyone remember going to slides nights, where your friends or family would share their latest adventure with you? Assessment Task You might think it strange to start with an assessment task - this is not to put you off, but so that you can do today's activity taking into account that it will be assessed. Our first photo editing assessment task is to create a calendar or Photo Book.
