Testing my MMP

TESTING my MMP
To make sure that MM poem is effective of the right quality, my first audience will be my classmates as they have created similar projects and therefore they can judge my project better than others. My next audience would be my DT teacher who can guide me through the right path to make this project successful. My parents are my best critiques, so I will take into account what they have to say and modify my project. Then I will make my project available to the strangers who will come to see my project.

Multimedia Poetry- Design Specification

DESIGN SPECIFICATION

To start with this project I must first get my poem approved by the English teacher. While creating this project I must keep in mind that there are time limits. The video has to be from 1 minute to 3 minutes. The images I use, have to be of high resolutions- images above 1000 pixels. The slide with the title of the poem has to be self created as I want some originality in it. The rest of the pictures will be played around with in Photoshop. I might change the backgrounds of the pictures link each slide with the first slide. The backgrounds have to be less exciting than the pictures and the video clips, so I want a single color for the background. Since my poem is quite depressing, and the color of the text is of a darker shade, I plan to use a light color for the background on the slides which consist of text. All the texts used in the project have to be of the same color and font except for the title. To fulfill my time limit, I must use very few words in one slide of text. So, I will place 2-3 words in slide depending on its context. I will use music which does not consist of any vocalization. The music should be very catchy and in certain points of the poem the music should be more intense. After the trailer project, I have learnt that I should use clear transitions to make the image more visible. So, I will use clear but sophisticated transitions to let the message of the poem reach out to the audience. Like the text, the transitions will always be the same throughout the project. At the end of the project, I have to make sure to include the Credits. I will mention all the Video URLS I used and the links to the images I used. I will mention that this project was created with the help of the DT class. And I won’t forget to mention that the poem and the project was created by me!
