EXTRA POST: Mac vs. PC
Last week in my "Introduction to Educational Technology" Course, we discussed the difference between Mac computers and PCs, or personal computers. While there are many similarities between the two OSs, or operating systems, there are an equal number of differences.
Mac preferences, such as display, sound, log out and shut down, can be found in the top left corner of the desktop under the apple icon.
On a PC, running the Windows operating system, the preferences are found in the default location, the bottom left corner of the desktop. Windows integrates commonly used applications directly into the tool bar, whereas Mac separates the applications from the toolbar by placing them at the bottom of the screen.
Mastering both the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems will benefit me in my film career as I will be a more versatile candidate for any job. Several programs, such as Final Cut Pro, run exclusively in the Mac OS X operating system. Conversely, many large production houses run windows primarily, as the cost of maintaining and upgrading PCs is less expensive than Macs.
Looking beyond the basic knowledge we learned in last week, I began looking into selective screen capturing. In the Mac OS X operating system, this can be accomplished by pressing Command-Shift-4 and using the cross-hair to select the portion of the screen you would like to capture. The finished image is then saved to the desktop.
