The Hungry Bird
When I was first given this assignment I started to freak out and had no clue on what I was supposed to do. After getting home and viewing the instruction and sample video that was provided, I finally started to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I used Imovie to create this video and I must say that the software is pretty easy to use! It is very user friendly and there are tons of tutorial videos online that shows how to use Imovie. The biggest challenge for me was not editing the movie, but it was choosing a clip! I searched hundreds of videos at Vimeo and some where too long or others were too boring. At the 26th page of Vimeo I came across this mini clip of the bird wanting to eat a popcorn and I couldn’t resist on not using it for my assignment I know this video does not have to do with the overall theme of my blog, but I wanted to show my audience something funny that would make them laugh. This clip instantly reminded me of a game that I used to play on my phone called “Angry Birds” and that is exactly where the first image in my movie comes from and also the theme song of the game is the background noise of the video. I thought that both ideas matched perfectly and the short clip that I created actually came out very nice! Another big challenge that I faced was stoping the music from the first image and allowing the clips music play until the clip was over and restarting the first song for the credits at the end. After watching some tutorial videos on youtube I was finally able to figure out what to do and overcame this challenge that took me over 30 minutes to figure out. Using Imovie was a great experience and I must say is an experience that will be used many times. For my mom upcoming birthday I wanted to make her a video and had no clue on what software to use, and after this assignment I finally found the perfect tool! This technique can be used for many things such as photo slideshow and other school related materials that could come handy sometime in the future. I hope you guys enjoy the video!
