Video Project

In my Mcom 63 class our professor assigned us to make a 2-3 minute video on anything and edit it through iMovie. This is something that seemed very exciting to me because I always wanted to make my own mini movie.I remember working in iMovie briefly in high school so I knew a little on what to expect, but I didn't realize how stressful it could be.

The idea I had for my video project was to film myself doing my radio show and also the guest djs I had on my show as well. In the beginning was Jaypee spinning some House music, then me make some announcements then closing out the show. But......that didn't turn out the way I expected it to be. When it came down to the editing, I was having so much difficulties. I had forgot how to crop out some parts that I didn't want in my video which included pauses or parts that seemed unnecessary. There's a part where a dj came and was just talking very loudly which was very obvious and distracted me from video tapping and the dj from spinning.

After an hour of trying to figure out what to do and asking random people in the computer on how to use iMovie, I finally came across a How-To-iMovie tutorial, which helped a lot. I was started to get a hang of the editing and all I needed to do was edit the distractions in the first 2 minutes, add in the transition, possibly a couple of text to introduce my video and end it. But.... yes there's another but. I had to go to my 6pm class so i had to save what I had done already. Since I only had a 1G usb drive it was quit difficult to save it, so when finally figuring out how to save it, I compressed it and saved it under iMovie. DONT EVER DO THIS IF YOU ARE NOT DONE EDITING!! I say that because since I made that mistake, not only was it saved under Quicktime, I wasnt able to go back into iMovie and edit the rest of my video which was very depressing.

But this is my first "video" so of course there will be mistakes and all I have to do is just learn from it.
