Google Day #2

3 Goals for the day:

1. Have minecraft arena done and ready to be recorded upon. HUNGER GAMES ARENA THAT WE WILL BE RECORDING ON This is the link to download the  map that the arena will be recorded upon.
2. Have big  city done and be able to be recorded on. CITY WE WILL BE RECORDING ON This is the link to the web page where you can download this map, this will be the one we will be recording on. 
3. Do introduction to video. (I dont believe I will be able to have a link for this one since I will do this on iMovie.) 

Things I learned: 

• I learned how to install new things onto minecraft such as cities. To be able to do this you have to be able to access internal computer folders. At first what you have to do is go to the go to folder, enter application support once you are there, enter the folder called minecraft, then click on saves, once their what you have to do is copy and paste or drag and drop the world that you want in your worlds in to that folder. 
• Installing things on minecraft for our project is crucial because of the way that we want to record things and the topic that we chose. Since we want to have great architectural buildings in our worlds, the way that we chose our downloadable maps were nothing easy, we chose the minecraft tnt olympics for the training ground where we will film probably a minute, the arena, and a city that is colorful just like the descriptions of the capitol in the series. Then installing them, checking them and being able to say that this was the one we were going to record on. I am certain that the work I did today was crucial and good. 
• By doing my introduction I learned about all the different themes that iMovie has to offer. But I believe Tomas and I will not use this video editing tool for our final project, due to the fact that this movie editing system is very stubborn and will not let you do certain things that I am certain that I want to do. 
• But also on iMovie I learned how to edit small clips inside of my video, by adjusting their times, and also how to edit their sound and if they are played backwards or forwards. 
• My knew knowledge and skills are how to install things on minecraft, how to download the maps and install them. Also how to video edit a little better by being able to edit clips, the clips lengths, the clips sound, and in what way they are played. 

Something that I want to learn for the next Google day is how to use final cut pro, its a movie editor that I plan to download on my computer and be able to use it since iMovie apparently is very bad. Final cut pro is supposed to be a very good, if not one of the best,  some minor movies are edited with this app, or so I am told. Learning to use it will be hard, but this is my goal for the next Google day.
