Week 7 Reflection

As promised here is my podcast

MAKING A MOVIE

Okay so I'm thinking this teacher has got to be joking!

MAKE A MOVIE???? 

I take a deep breath in and exhale cause like every other thing we've done so far in this class I'm gonna nail it!

 

The task was to use the podcast I created last week and include it in a 3-5 minute presentation in windows movie maker. I also needed to include pictures and other videos, title page, subtitles and a reference page. So i did my checklist:

podcast  ✅

videos i wanna include ✅

pictures i wanna include ✅

references of these ✅

I settled down and began thinking I could complete this baby in a day 

..... Took me over a month!

 I appreciated having to pay $20 to see a movie or paying more to buy a DVD cause these things TAKE TIME AND ENERGY!

So the first thing I did was download NCH Software. I had to familiarize myself with the app of course so it took a lot of time figuring out how to drag, cut, paste, select clip, add animations, transition slides, loop, add audio, add video, add images, effects and on and on and on. 

When I thought I was finished and decided to export video MY FREE TRIAL HAD EXPIRED AND I LOST 70% OF MY WORK!!

Did I quit?? NOPE

I wanted to though but as my teacher says: 

Patience 

Perseverance

Practice

This was my fault because I stopped saving the project as I went along.

But all is well because I actually think my second attempt was better than my first. Some positives came out of the experience:

I'll NEVER forget to click 'save project' 😃

I better understand the app 👍

I can work faster 💃

I fell in love with editing videos 😍

I gained another level of patience 👼

I was able to warn others 👉

So after the whole ordeal I finally managed to export my video to google drive.

Have a look at my work! Tell me what you think
