My topic was entertainment with mobile apps. Entertainment mobile apps are one of the many ways we can connect with friends and family except in a fun and sometimes competitive environment. This is also another substitute for social contact. These entertainment applications can also be used to educate people and teach little ones fine motor skills in a fun and interactive way. As well as all of these aspects entertainment apps can be used for simple enjoyment. It was, after all, the reason entertainment mobile apps were created. Entertainment apps such as
Angry Birds,Temple Run,Doodle Jump, and
Fruit Ninjagive many people countless hours of enjoyment and stress relief. Two aspects I find fascinating about entertainment mobile apps are the countless number of hours people actually can spend on one mobile app trying to best it and how effective entertainment mobile apps are at killing time. I feel like this just shows how hard we humans will try to become the best at something and how determined we really are.

Editing our groups wiki was quite successful. As a group I feel we functioned properly there were no arguments and we got the job done. Although we didn’t communicate often we all worked in some way and in the end we finished on time. Sadly I am not completely happy with our wiki it was a bit random and awkwardly written and some topics/ideas clashed but I feel this is because our communication was not as it should’ve been. I feel if we could’ve talked more and worked together more coherently then possibly we could have gotten a desirable result from our work.

The outsource video I created was a simple example of me playing an entertainment mobile application. I do believe I clearly understood the request it was quite simple after all just about 10 seconds of me playing a mobile application with entertainment properties. I believe my client also felt the same way for he did in fact include it in his final video. I feel he did this because it followed what he asked.
Here is the video he created.

The outsourced video I asked for was a simple collaboration of 2-3 entertainment mobile apps in use. Even though I did receive it I did not put it in my video I felt I could get a better outsourced clip from the people in my school since our class had time restrictions. Although the video was executed as I asked I felt it was missing some clarity therefore I decided to cut it.Here is the outsourced video.

My initial idea for my video was just a simple example of some entertainment mobile apps and an explanation for some of them. Even though I did not have a real direction towards this idea I believe I pulled it off quite nicely. Yet, I feel like it could’ve been longer and explained more about entertainment mobile apps while still staying true to my idea. I feel like it is acceptable but as always there is always a room for improvement in my case I would’ve come up with more ideas and tried to implement them in my video. I feel like the background music although good maybe could have been a tad bit louder although I felt the music was a very nice addition in the end. One thing I could’ve done to make it over all more enjoyable was to make it longer I felt like it was a crisp and clean movie though.
Here is a movie from a fellow classmate that I felt needed recognit...I feel she did a well job in completing the assignment.Another student who made a nice video is this person. He made a very educational video.
