Self Blog #3

After the beginning process of trying to piece my videos together, I've started to notice a few odd things here and there. Mostly technically issues I suppose with the Second Life itself and the whole editing process. Things I need to keep in mind is the way the video comes out when I render it, seems the file can't be too small or big or else the pixels will become annoyingly distorted. Should try voice over instead of type setting the words, rolling them on the screen is not good either, hard to read. Second Life seems to lag when I capture it though it might be the program, but Camtasia is holding up pretty well. Adding in interviews with people and in Second Life is becoming too long so I have to edit a few things out of the conversations. I should get in touch with some more faculty members of schools and students outside of Purchase College, although asking around in other campuses might work, would be a bit interesting to record at least. Other things to note might be how to focus the documentary into the main point which is the use of SL as an educational tool. I tend to get distracted when in SL in little interesting things, though maybe I should incorporate that too hm...Need to keep in touch with Jason Pine and Davide in case I need some extra info on certain things within SL. Start the process of writing out the paper and see if there is any more academic material on the study of education and SL.
