Video: Reflection

This was another fun project. If you saw my last project, this is the live action version of "What's with Twitter?" Being the live action version my FATP was the same and I already had a storyboard for it, so I created a flowchart to help me plan the flow of the movie. For this I used Gliffy once again so there was nothing new for me to learn to create an effective flowchart. Yet creating a video was a new experience for me. I used the video function on my digital camera for all the recording which was easy enough, yet I couldn't get it to record with out some "popping" in the audio, which was disappointing. Windows Movie Maker was another first for me and I wasn't very impressed by it. For a simple movie editor it wasn't so simple to use. First figuring out how to import your clips was tricky because I didn't find anything that just said "Insert video" or "Import". You have to do you videos in collections, and when I did get the hang of that, the program split up my clips without me asking it to which was weird. The more advanced options I thought were made accessible in ways that weren't very self explanatory. Yet once I was able to get everything opened up it was easy to put video, text and music together.
