Record Module - 16th June

Today I am planning to be uploading my video which I have been filming over the week of my puppies. I will then need to start editing my video using the apple mac software. This software is something which I have not used before and I will need to learn how to use all the different skills.

Firstly I uploaded my footage to the computer and before it has been edited it is 17 minutes long. I will need to crop and edit this so it is a suitable length. The first thing

that I have done is watch the footage through and started selecting the things that I can use.

Then next thing I did was select the background layout that I will use for my video. i looked at all the different possibilities that i could use and selected the best one which was a scrapbook layout.

After I did this I then selected the first video footage that I would use for the beginning of my

video and started cropping any excess footage that was un-interesting or I didn't need. At first I found it hard to crop the clips of video and found that the parts that I was deleting were making the rest of the clip jumpy and it didn't flow. However, after practicing a few times with the same clip I managed to crop it so it ran smoothly and looked professional. I then did this with all the different clips that I wanted to include into my video.

After I have edited the first half of my beginning, making sure there was no bad shots or unnecessary one's I could then add titles and captions to some if the clips. I did not know how to do this so I looked at all the different buttons on Imovie and worked out how to add text to a slide and different types of captions.

Today I think that I have worked well towards my goal and achieved it - I managed my timing well and also my strengths today were exploring with my equipment and finding out how to do different things. In addition to this I have been using IMovie which is something that I have not used before, i think that today I have worked well using this program and taught myself how to many of the different features on it.
