iMovie Video Tutorials

While watching the iMovie tutorials, I learned how to get started and how to stabilize shaky videos.. To get started, all you have to do is plug in your camera. iMovie will automatically notice it and pull up the videos on it. Then you can choose to transfer all of them into iMovie or do it manually and just pick some that you want.
To stabilize your shaky video, first select analyze for stabilization in the file menu. You can choose to analyze the whole video or just one clip.

Walking Gallery Blog Post

I saw a lot of themes today, but none were better then Jake's.
My favorite edit had to be Brandon's change a face.
I liked a lot of sound mixes, but none were better then Jake's. He used smile back as his instrumental as well as verses from Drake and other artists. They mixed together very well.
We learned how to edit photos, which i find very cool because I like to make sweet pictures. Also it was really cool being able to set different beats to verses. We learned what we were supposed to. Before this class I had never done any of the stuff before. I could have probably figured it out after a little while of messing around with it just because I'm a kid, but it would have frustrated me.
Some skills I have now that will help me in the future would be the photo editing skill, because I like taking photos and can edit them to make them very cool.

News Podcast

Over the past two days we had to create a news podcast. We had to choose an article we found on line, mixed with an intro song and outro song. I chose an article about how ISU beat #2 OSU in a football game this past Friday in Ames. It was a very exciting moment for all of Iowa, so I thought it would be a great selection.
The quality of my project is pretty good, we only had 2 periods to do it so I had to rush a little, but for the most part I thought it was pretty good. I think it should not be on the air because I did not have a lot of time to do it and was rushed. If I had more time, then yes. This is a process that was sort of enjoyable for me. It would not really bother me to do it again, but I wouldn't go out and do it on my own for fun.
