Please forgive me in case it isn't as mind blowing as some of the other videos that you can find on youtube. You would think that with the countless hours my friends and I spent on making movies for our classes and for fun in high school with the old camcorder and VCR, that this would just come naturally to but, but it took alot of work. As I watch the video, it is amazing how much I have picked up in a little over two days of playing around with iMove.
So far, I have learned how to write a script, create a layout/storyboard, insert photos and add sound captions as well as do some basic editing as well as editing individual frames for video and audio. It is amazing just how much control you have over the video production process in iMovie, and while I was a bit scared initially, especially when it came to the audio portion, it really wasn't that bad. Still, I've put close to 12 hours total from start to finish in just a 2 minute clip and I still am thinking about releasing a "directors cut" with a soundtrack. Like I said, I'm gonna stay humble and say that while the video doesn't knock your socks off like something Spielberg might make, but at least I know understand the program and can use it more (or have my students use it more!) in my own classroom. My students are already iMovie experts but now that I get this program and what to do, I see it isn't that daunting and I am excited to do more with it!
Something else I should add was that this evening I also got a little practice with creating links to my video as well as inserting a youtube device in my google sites page for viewing the video directly on my google site e-portfolio. Good stuff!
