Week 8 - Tutorial Task

The above video is the completed video needed for class. Ibolya, Tara and myself edited this film using iMovie. Whilst doing this, I believe I as well as the other girls really learnt a bit more about New Communication Technology, well at least the technology aspect, as none of us had any experience with the program. We encountered difficulties such as limited options in regards to some fonts and sizes of the writing, although again, that may have just been our lack of experience with the program. However, the film just started to take shape quite well, and this is the finished product. The biggest difficulty, was that there appeared to be no way to save the project to a usb or indeed ANYWHERE. There was no option to save it that we could find, so after making the mistake of finishing half and coming back the next day to a freshly wiped memory, we had to start from scratch again and finish the whole video in one day :) It was tough, but we managed. There was no original footage of our own, but we just used still images under the creative commons license. The references for each image can be found in the description below the actual film on YouTube. We were planning to have a male voice-over, but when it came down to it, the simple recorder on a phone was too crackely, so we stuck with 'moving titles'. As we had no way to save the file in editing mode, we tried to then go and add minimal changes after it was in its video format already, but it was almost impossible. We were able to make one change though...to cut out one section that was unwanted.
