Screencast Video

YouTube

This video is my Module 1 video that introduces defines what Washoku means and encompasses, as well as its five key principles. Not only does it cover the first two weekly module objectives but also the first course learning outcome: Create and practice consumption rituals of breakfast and daily bento following 5 key principles of washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine).

 

Screencast

I decided on screencasting since I already had an infographic I wanted to animate but could also provide visuals for.

​

Cognitive theory

I'm keeping this cognitive theory of multimedia learning section here to add to my checklist:

• signaling (three keywords at most where possible),

• segmenting,

• weeding, and

• matching modality. I narrated what I animated but elaborated more on the two word bullet points.

I again opted to copyright via YouTube, where all videos that are uploaded are copyrighted. 

​

Accessibility

I used AfterEffects which requires manual closed captioning, so I decided to import my finished video in Premiere, where it's automated with edits to the Japanese. Again, high contrast was key and ensuring that English was the most visible with kanji as more of a decorative element. 

​

Video editing software

I used AfterEffects but it was quite a slow, painstaking process of synchronizing various levels of animation. Fortunately, I've used it before professionally before so just needed to recall how to apply features I knew already existed. Fortunately, there’s a lot of YouTube how to videos on specific skills. I already pay via subscription and joining other options adds subscription costs.

 

AI attempt

The next level to try more efficient methods would be AI. I did try some new AI feature in Illustrator, but results were pretty random. The little deer and plant icon I used above "Itadakimasu" around 2:15 is one graphic I managed to generate and incorporate.
