Lessons so far

As with all teaching, the essence of a good lesson is in the preparation. I’ve just started using Comic Life, which is delightfully easy to use, but I jumped in without preparing the resources I needed to continue.

The learning objective I’d set for this exercise was to make a Comic Life page demonstrating how to use QuickTime to rotate a video through 90 degrees (I recently recorded some colleagues standing up, using the natty camera from the CLC; I rotated the camera to capture the full height of the colleagues, but when I came to play the video back, it was difficult to watch).

But I soon realised that the first task for my Comic Life task should have been to storyboard, and make sure I had all the images I needed beforehand.

    I agree that story boarding is quite important. I find the digiboard quite useful for that purpose. If not I find I am making use of the software for its own sake.All in all ComicLife is agreat piece of software.
