I use Google mainly to search for articles if I decide not to use the university library resources website to do so when I have to write a research paper. In fact, Google has a special engine called the Google Scholar, which I feel is almost as good as the university's library resources site. Google Scholar is especially useful whenever we have to churn out a research paper. As compared to a normal search engine, it is more convenient and helps to save the time spent looking through hundreds, thousands or even millions of search results. This is so as it sieves out just scholarly articles or articles which can be used for academic work. In this way, it also reduces the chances of us reading unnecessary material.
The search engine I use most often is Bing. Bing is a search engine from Microsoft and was formerly known as Live Search, Windows Live Search and MSN Search. Somehow, I feel that Bing allows me to search what I want more easily and with greater accuracy. I used to try Yahoo to look for things such as entertainment news and for korean language help. However, when Bing started, I decided to try it out and realized that the information found by Bing is more accurate than the information I found using Yahoo, especially the language tools. In addition, I also feel that Bing is more current and since it has a partnership with Mediacorp, it enables us to access news and entertainment even more easily because its new homepage(xinmsn) contains a variety of different links, including news links and video links.
Due to some equipment constraints, I am unable to do a brand new video. However, I'll describe my previous experiences of making a video.
My previous experience of making a video was during my internship where I needed to go out to take certain shots and later collate them to become a short video. It was interesting because there were many aspects which I had to take into account all the way from taking the shots to editing the video itself. I had to keep in mind how to link a particular shot with another so that the different shots will be linked and that it'll be easier to put in transitions between the different shots during the process of editing as the shots cannot change too abruptly. It was quite difficult at first because firstly, I used an editing program that was different from the usual Microsoft Movie Maker. It was a graphics machine and I had to familiarize myself with the operations of the different keyboard such as cutting using a particular key and to input the points where I wanted to link the different shots. However, it was indeed a good experience in making a video.
