Day 2: Investigation Reflection: Comparison



Today I'm comparing by rating each website on a certain criteria, which are simplicity, theme, music & price. I took all these things into consideration when choosing which website/tool would be best to help me make my  project.
 ANIMOTO:
For Animoto i gave it a 7 in simplicity because i tried the trial and it requires you to make an Animoto Account. It also states that the trial/ video can only be 30 seconds long, & if i remember correctly Mrs.Hinojosa clearly stated that or project must be at least 2 minutes long (I'm pretty sure Mrs.Hinojosa wont allow 4 videos as one project:)

For Animoto i gave it a 5 in Theme because i do like the fact the the pictures go with the music during the video but i don't want that, i need to be able to show a certain amount of pictures in a certain amount of time when i need to not when the music decides.

For Animoto I gave it a 7 in music because Animoto doesn't provide music of any source unless you pay for the Animoto Pro. i would have to upload music from my desktop (that would be a problem because i wouldn't even know how to upload music from my desktop to Animoto). i only gave it a 7 because it does provide some music, even though you would have to pay for it.

My last criteria for rating Animoto is in Price, i gave it a 0 because it does require you to pay to make a decent video. The home page of Animoto clearly states that it is free, when they say its free they're talking about the trial & your first video, but if you actually want to make a decent video you would have to purchase something.

Now that i have rated Animoto and have stated why i gave each rating. It is now time to rate clipgenerator and why i have given each a certain rating.
CLIP GENERATOR:

For clip generator I gave it an 8 in simplicity because i tried the trial and unlike Animoto it doesn't require you to make an account. I have also looked into the amount of time given for each video & it doesn't give you a certain amount of time to make a video. The time depends on the length of the song(s) that you're using so this is simple enough for me to work & for the 6th grader(s) to understand as well. i also noticed that it sends the video to my e-mail which is the only reason why i gave it an 8.

For clip generator I gave it an 8 in Theme because unlike Animoto clip generator lets me determine when my pictures will be switched to the next.

For clip generator i gave it an 9 in music because it contains a lot of the popular song our generation listens to now a days but they also contain oldies, dance, love, & pop. This is one of the reasons why i was immediately attracted to clip generator. I also gave it a 9 because it doesn't have the option of alternative music (my favorite:), but i do feel like it contains music that everybody likes & listens to.

The last criteria I'm rating clip generator is Price, i gave it a 10 in price because in the homepage it states that clip generator is free & in fact it is, not just the trial but the actual video. :)

In the end i decided to choose clip generator because with all my research & comparing i found that clip generator is a better tool/website to help me in creating my project.

THANK YOU<3
