I decided to use the software Windows Movie Maker since I am familiar with the program and have used it before. The only time I have created a video was for my sister-in-laws birthday. I used images only and created somewhat of a power point. This project could have been easily created through power point. On this particular project I was only exploring different software programs that my computer included. I was happy that I had attempted to use this software prior to starting assignment #1 for week 2. Being somewhat familiar with a program gave me the upper hand, and confidence I needed in creating a video. Coming up with ideas for the assignment was challenging for me. I did communicate and plan with a partner on particular ideas and formatting for the video. I had originally decided on using the topic of traveling to California as the major goal for the video. After deciding on a topic, I then searched for videos that would support the goal of the assignment. I was not successful in finding video clips that would catch my particular audience. Through collaboration with family members and friends I used my memory box to decide on my new found topic. I thought particular commercials that have caught my eye and persuaded me in some exacting way. My husband usually has me stop whatever I am doing in order to watch a sports commercial that he calls,”awesome”. This happens on a weekly basis. I decided to use sports as my direction for my video. Movie maker meet all my needs and I was very impressed by the outcome of my final video. I was able to create and split clips for the video. This was a challenge and skill I had never used before. The video is “awesome” and I can honestly say that I am proud of my final project. If I could edit one aspect of the video, I would have changed the ending crediting by changing the effects.
