What is multimedia?

Multimedia is exactly what it sounds like its about using computers to make art and videos
using photo shop, after effects, and premiere. All of these are adobe programs. These can be very useful in the future because most advertising agencies use those programs and stuff. Also premiere and after effect can be used to make a lot of cool videos and add effects to those videos. We did a lot of photo editing as well that you can use to make ads and commercials. After effects is kinda a dumbed down version of premiere. while premiere has more advanced effects, after effects has more word and sound effects that sadly premiere cant fit into its already extensive library of effects. I suggest this class because not only will the tools you learn here be useful but it will also be fun. seeing your creations come to life and seeing that cool effect you added to your video is pretty awesome. Some things we did were cropping pictures, fixing pictures, cloning and doctoring sections of a photo. also we learned how to make videos fade in and out, we learned how to rotate it, crop it, move it and alot of other stuff. With premiere although we didn't really do alot with it i personally know that with it you can make planets explode, bullets fly, time stop, and even gravity vortexes. As you can see this class is very useful although it may get boring at times and it may seem hard once you get the hang of it its pretty cool.
