For my multimodal project, I decided to create a video on Camtasia. And it’s actually pretty neat!

Camtasia allows you to create something similar to a powerpoint presentation, but better! You can insert text boxes and images as well as transitions between your slides. Camtasia also allows you to change text color and sizing; shapes and clip art images are another fun tool to use. You can also overlap multiple slides and images over one another if you wanted them to appear at the same time on your screen.
But my favorite feature has to be inserting music or audio to go with your video. I’m not much of a talking-over-video person, so I decided to add music to my completed project. I think that it engages the audience more and creates a certain mood depending on your topic and music choice.
Although I had many choices for my multimodal project, I’m glad that I decided to create a video. I feel like this is the best way I can reach my audience and the best way for them to view it easily. I would highly recommend Camtasia to anyone wishing to create a simple, but intriguing presentation. Shake it up a bit!
