Innovative Web Technology- Video Assessment

1. I am creating the content I am creating to reach out to people with information about business training courses that are available whether in a small group or an actual business wanting training. 2. My audience is anyone or company that wants to look into taking business courses; or my classmates and instructor. 3. I want the content to achieve clear information, and for anyone to understand it. 4. I created the content on my camera as a video; it is meant to be viewed on anything that is capable of showing videos. 5. I will be publishing my video on blogger.com. I selected this option because it will be the easiest for viewers to see it. *Know your equipment; I know how to use my camera very well that's why I selected it to film the video. *Get away from noise; I secluded myself in the office and did it at a time when no one else was home. *Be aware of lighting; I made sure of the lighting and the brightness on the camera. *Beware of shadows; I helped that I filmed it inside and not in the dark, I took many pictures and sample clips before actually video taping. *Camera's built-in microphone; I made sure that the camera was close enough to hear me talking but not too close where you can still see my whole head when I'm talking. *Make sure the camera is stable; I used a tripod when I taped it so I wasn't holding the camera or having it move all over. *After you film; I watched and watched the video to make sure it was okay, there were some words I messed up on but I wasn't going to redo it because of that. *Consider perspective and framing; if the video was more professional I would've picked a different spot, but I tried to focus it mainly on me and not the background behind me.

Innovative Web Technology-Webinar

1. Ask, What's keeping our customers up at night? You want to make sure people are up to speed, so they aren't confused on using podcasting and hosting sites. 2. Create momentum, our goal is to have out viewers have a better understanding and feel more comfortable in podcasting. 3. Create your webinar registration form wisely, with surveymonkey we will be able to make a professional, organized form that our viewers will find easy to use. 4. Write the story, of course we want to make sure we know what we're going to say before we present, we'll run through it, have note cards or script; we can possibly create an outline. 5. Show; don't tell, we're going to show our viewers everything that's involved in podcasting, so they will know exactly step-by-step how to create a podcast. 6. Have compelling slides, we can use sliderocket to show our viewers exactly how to create a podcast and make it better visually; we won't crowd our slides and offer one idea per slide, use videos and images. 7. This is a really important, critical point!, we want to make sure our viewers know exactly what the webinar is about, which means our title will be informative and to the point. 8. Find a compelling speaker, we're all going to speak but if one of us knows more information than the others, then they can present that certain aspect or topic. 9. Moderators matter, we're not going to make the webinar so long that the viewers lose interest, more so towards getting straight to the point of the topic. 10. What about video?, we can include a step-by-step video on how to create a podcast. 11. Practice and rehearse, we're going to practice a lot and have an outline or notes to guide us along the presentation. 12. Encourage audience memebers to interact, we can ask certain questions or ask them if they have questions about podcasting. 13. Encourage speaker-attendee interaction, we could stop periodically to ask questions to make sure our viewers know the certain step in the video. 14. Optimize for sharing, we're going to upload all of our content online and share it and use keywords or tags. 15. Get feedback, we're going to make a survey so our viewers can give us feedback or offer their opinion. Tammy, Bobbie, and Emily
