About the storyboard and timeline

The area where you create and edit your project is displayed in two views, the storyboard and the timeline. You can switch between these two views when making a movie.

In Help, the following notation is used to indicate the difference between working on the storyboard or timeline.

• Storyboard/timeline. Indicates that the task can be performed on both the storyboard and timeline.
• Storyboard. Indicates that the task can be performed on the storyboard only.
• Timeline. Indicates that the task can be performed on the timeline only.

About the storyboard

The storyboard is the default view in Windows Movie Maker. You can use the storyboard to look at the sequence or ordering of the clips in your project and easily rearrange them, if necessary. This view also lets you see any video effects or video transitions that have been added. You can also preview all of the clips in your current project. Audio clips that you have added to a project are not displayed on the storyboard; however, they are displayed in the timeline.

About the timeline

You can use the timeline to review or modify the timing of clips in your project. Use the timeline buttons to perform tasks such as changing the view of your project, zooming in or out on details of your project, recording narration, or adjusting the audio levels. The time is displayed as hours:minutes:seconds.hundreths of a second (h:mm:ss.hs). To trim unwanted portions of your clip, use the trim handles, which appear when you select a clip. You can also preview all of the clips in your current project which are displayed on the timeline.

The timeline displays the following tracks to indicate what types of files you have added to your current project. And there are:

Video

The Video track lets you see what video clips, pictures, or titles you have added to the project. You can expand the Video track to show the corresponding audio accompanying the video, as well as any video transitions you have added. After a clip is added to the timeline, the name of the source file appears on that clip. If you add any video effects to the picture, video, or title, a small icon appears on the clips to indicate that a video effect has been added to that clip.

Transition

The Transition track lets you see any video transitions you have added to the timeline. This track only appears if you have expanded the Video track. Any video transitions you add from the Video Transitions folder appear on this track. When a transition is added to the timeline, the name of the transition is shown in the timeline. You can drag the start trim handle that appears when the transition is selected to increase or decrease its duration.

Audio

The Audio track lets you see the audio that is included in any video clips you have added to the project. Like the Transition track, you can only see the Audio track if you have expanded the Video track. If you select the audio clip on this track and delete it, the video portion is also removed from the Video track.

Audio/Music

The Audio/Music track lets you see any audio clips that you have added to the project. The name of the audio clip appears on the clip.

You can also add video clips to this track if you want the audio, but not the video, to play in your project and final movie.

Title Overlay

The Title Overlay track lets you see any titles or credits that you have added to the timeline. You can add multiple titles to this track at different points in your movie. The titles overlay the video that is displayed. You can drag the start or end trim handle that appears when the title is selected to increase or decrease its duration.

What is a Storyboard?

Developed during the pre-production stage and used throughout the production and post-production stages, a storyboard is a series of diagrams that are used to depict the composition of a video segment. Each diagram consists of: a sketch of the video image; a brief description of the visual; notes for the camera operator; the details of the desired audio that will accompany the visual; and an estimate of how long the segment will be. The storyboard cards are then placed in order to provide the foundation for capturing the proper footage and for making the correct editing decisions. Here is an example of what a storyboard card might look like.

Why is a Storyboard Necessary?

When sequenced, the storyboard diagrams should act as a guide for the production and post production stages of producing a video. Without a well defined storyboard collection, the director's job becomes unmanageable.

The storyboard becomes a valuable tool for everyone involved with the production. When the director, camera operator, talent, and editing team all have the same understanding of the goals of the video, a quality production becomes obtainable.

Creating a storyboard also allows the production team to experiment with different ideas and sequences before taping any segments. Individuals can sketch and explain their visions of what the flow of presentation should be. During the pre-production stage, adjustments can be made to the projections of the completed video, which will save valuable production and post production time. The production and editing teams do not need to guess as to what type of footage might be needed and how it might all fit together. If the proper segments are recorded, as called for by the storyboard, the editing process should flow smoothly.

The other advantage of having individual storyboard cards is that it can be re-shuffled into an order that will facilitate the production stage. Once the desired order of the segments are identified for the final product, the director can then rearrange the order of the cards to plan how to record each segment while minimizing the number of equipment and set changes.

How do I Create a Storyboard?

In the Storyboard Template section, you can see what a storyboard might look like. Variations of this storyboard can be made to suit your needs, but should include these basic sections: sketch, video information, audio information, camera operation instructions, the time of the segment, and a segment number.

Jati Diri Mu Bagaimana?

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Menyusuri kehidupan umat islam yang kian leka dan alpa, kebanyakkan daripada kita tidak lagi menilai sesuatu perkara berdasarkan pandangan dan prinsip agama yang mantap. Tetapi, berdasarkan keinginan nafsu yang rakus dan sebahagian budaya seharian yang jelek yang telah ditinggalkan sejak berkurun lamanya. Akhirnya, jati diri yang telah disematkan oleh guru-guru pada seketika dahulu kian menghilang sedikit demi sedikit.

Dan kesannya, timbullah gejala al-Wahn yang mendorong kita untuk mengorbankan segala prinsip dan ajaran agama dengan sewenang-wenangnya. Jati bermaksud asli, murni, tulen, yang sebenar dan tidak bercampur-campur*(Kamus dewan, hal:521)*. Jati diri yang ingin saya tekankan di sini adalah jati diri sebagai seorang Muslim dan Mukmin. Memikirkan diri dalam mendepani pelbagai cabaran pada dewasa ini, pengukuhan jati diri harus dilaksanakan dan perlu senantiasa di gilap untuk muncul sebagai Muslim yang cemerlang di sebalik cabaran-cabaran tersebut.

Di sini saya ingin menggariskan beberapa prinsip asas yang diperlukan oleh setiap daripada kita bagi membina jati diri yang kukuh dan mantap.

1) Utamakan Tanggungjawab

• "Seorang Muslim yang sejati akan menjadikan seluruh aktiviti kehidupannya sebagai manifestasi pengabdian kepada Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, kerana menyedari bahawa jika segala tanggungjawab itu ditunaikan dengan baik, maka dengan sendirinya akan tertunailah segala hak, tanpa perlu dituntut".
• "Setiap Muslim tidak harus terlalu asyik dengan status 'Khalifah Allah' yang sering didodoikan kepada mereka, sehingga terlupa bahawa mereka juga seorang 'Hamba Allah' yang diamanahkan dengan pelbagai tanggungjawab".

2) Yakin dengan kebenaran Islam

• "Betapa hebatnya iman bila telah menembusi Hijab hati kita, tiada apa lagi yang boleh menukar gantinya. Kita diberi tawaran samada memilih nyawa tanpa iman atau memilih iman tanpa nyawa, lalu kita memilih iman tanpa mempedulikan nyawa kita"

3) Beramal dengan ilmu

• "Orang yang beramal tanpa ilmu menyamai ciri-ciri golongan Nasrani, manakala orang yang tidak beramal dengan ilmunya pula menyamai perangai Yahudi"

4) Menjaga Amalan Zahir dan Batin

• "Pengabdian yang dipersembahkan melalui amalan zahir anggota badan semata-mata tidak mempunyai apa-apa ert jika ia tidak di sertai dengan batin yang tulus ikhlas mengharapkan keredhaan Allah".
• "Sebagaimana amalan batin itu memberi kesan ke atas kesahihan amalan zahir, maka begitu sebaliknya, amalan zahir juga boleh mempengaruhi kesahihan amalan batin".
  

5) Memenuhi Syarat Penerimaan Amalan

• "Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala telah menjadikan kesahihan kedua-dua jenis amalan zahir dan batin sebagai syarat penerimaan di sisiNya."
• "Jika amalan yang tidak ikhlas ini akan ditolak oleh Allah meskipun menepati Sunnah Nabi, maka begitu juga sebaliknya, amalan yang tidak menepati sunnah Nabi tidak akan di terima oleh Allah mestipun ada niat ikhlas.
• "Kerana berpegang kepada persepsi yang salah ini, maka masyarakat Islam tidak lagi segan silu untuk melakukan perkara yang menyalahi sunnah nabi atau yang melanggar batas hukum syara' dengan alasan (kononnya): "Asalkan niatnya baik".

6) Berbeza dengan Golongan bukan Islam

• "Selain daripada Al-Quran, terdapat banyak hadith nabi yang menjadi asas bagi prinsip ini, sehingga ada 'ulamak yang mengumpulkan lebih daripada 30 buah hadith sahih mengenainya".
• "Peniruan dan persamaan budaya hidup akan membibitkan rasa kasih sayang dan wala(Kepatuhan), sedangkan kasih sayang dan wala' kepada orang yang tidak beriman bercanggah dengan tuntutan iman".
• "Persamaan amalan zahir juga menjadi faktor kepada terhakisnya identiti dan kemerosotan jati diri kerana kekuatan jati diri bergantung kepada kekuatan iman.

7) Menghayati Tuntutan Dua Kalimah Syahadah

• "Orang yang berpegang Tauhid Uluhiyyah pasti berpegang juga dengan Tauhid Rububiyah, tetapi orang yang berpegang dengan Tauhid Rububiyyah sahaja tidak semestinya berpegang dengan Tauhid uluhiyyah. Disebabkan tidak ada Tauhid Uluhiyyah inilah, maka golongan musyrikin telah menyekutukan Allah dengan sesutau yang lain dalam ibadat, meskipun mereka mengakuiNya sebagai Tuhan Yang Maha Pencipta".
• "Setiap Muslim wajib beriman dengan nama-nama dan sifat-sifat Allah sebagaimana yang tersebut dalam Al-Quran dan Sunnah kerana keimanan kepada Nama-nama dan sifat-sifat itu merupakan salah satu cara untuk mengenaliNya, sedangkan mengenal Allah itu adalah asas bagi aqidah Islam".
• "Jika maklumat yang disampaikan oleh seorang menteri diterima sebagai fakta rasmi kerajaan, maka begitulah juga dengan maklumat atau Risalah yang disampaikan oleh Nabi Muhammad wajib diterima sebagai wahyu rasmi dari Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
