Learning aim A: Design a digital portfolio
Video

You might want to include some video in your portfolio. This could be accessed as the page loads or when an image or link is clicked.

Activity 1

Choose a suitable video from YouTube (you will have to do this at home)

Pass the URL (web address) of your video to your teacher OR convert it at home from a YouTube to MP4

If you convert the video at home you need to bring it into school on a USB

Activity 2

Remember the video track is a Secondary source and you must reference the track. The statement is:

"No permission needed. I may need to replace this with copyright free video or get permission if I was to publish any of the publications in the public domain."

Anything that you have created yourself (your graphics and your animation) are counted as Primary Sources, any assets from the internet are counted as Secondary Sources.

Activity 3

Start completing in your Assets Table with the assets you have so far. Remember to keep adding to the assests table throughout the project.

Activity 4

Add the following html code to your INDEX page (replacing movie.mp4 and movie.ogg) with the name of your video file

NOTE this code only works when the page is viewed in Google Chrome. If you test the page in Internet Explorer you will receive the following mesage:

"Your browser does not support the video tag"

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
