Power point animation


In 2015 in first year and first semester, we learned a module called “FIT” in which we were exposed to many new things. From all the topics we were taught, I would like to share my understanding on “Microsoft Power point”.
We learned how to make power point presentation. While creating a PowerPoint presentation, we learned that we should keep in mind the following points
·        We have to keep the bullets and texts short and to the point.
·        They should be used as aids only and the explanation should be done by the presenter.
·        The animations when the slide changes or an object appears must be chosen according the audience. It shouldn’t to too fancy and distracting.
·        We should use simple animations but we should not overuse them.
·        One of the most important things we have to keep in mind is the color combination
We also learned to make animation in power point slides, where we used shapes, colors, animation etc. So in the power point document attached, I designed a small animation on light with the use of different shapes, colors and animation.

Now in this document I created a rice mill again with all the features available. It helped me grow creativity and animation skills.

It helped me in enhancing the teaching and learning material, it also helped me in becoming more critical and creative. Where, all the lessons I learned in FIT module will help me a lot in delivering teaching concept once I become a teacher. 

Animation with Flash Adobe

In the year 2016 we studied about Flash. From this module we studied a lot about animation in Flash Adobe.
Adobe Flash animation or Adobe Flash cartoon is an animated film that is created with the Adobe Flash platform or similar animation software and often distributed in the SWF file format. The term Adobe Flash animation refers to both the file format and the medium in which the animation is produced.
At first I was very excited about making animation and  thought I will be good at it as it would be interesting but later after studying and doing it practically, I then thought it is not a piece of cake. Nevertheless, I learned animation from the scratch with stick mans. The course helped me in being creative and careful.
While creating a flash animation, we had to create and every character or things involved in animation as symbol and then place it properly on timeline. Each and every frame required 100% concentration and patience.
We started from the scratch, from drawing walking stick. It taught me that every step needs to be carefully designed

In flash, it is not only about animation but also about time, drawing skill, color combination etc. There all the activities helped me in the required skills. Attached below is an animation of a frog catching eating a flying fly all in flash, which was fun.

After all the hard work and challenges, I could make an animation on “TIME MANAGEMENT” which is linked below.
