Dissecting Video

In the process of making this, I learned a few things. The first thing is that if you have the basic knowledge, all technology is easy, and basically the same. You can edit video the same way you edit audio. The next is that I really need a video camera! I don't have one, or even a webcam, and I had a wedding this weekend, so I had to improvise since I was crunched for time. I also learned that I need to work on my time management skills. Other than that though, once I realized that my computer had Movie Maker on it, it was a snap. Like I said, once you know the basics, the rest is kind of simple. I recorded the video with my digital camera and then threw in some pictures from my computer. I know it isn't the best, but for what I had to work with, I think it turned out okay. All of the pictures used are owned by their respective movie studios, but I think since they aren't the focal point, that should count under 'limited use', right? Correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, since the whole idea was to prove that you know how to edit video, I think the point is proven. Thanks to this class, I now know how to make rudimentary videos.
