Final Exam - Preview Assignment
Summary-
iMovie is a movie-making device that can turn clips and videos into finished productions. First you have to import videos and photos from your computer that were previously downloaded. This is a fairly easy process. Either USB or Firewire cables can directly take photos and videos from your camera and upload them to iMovie. This process repeats as you continue to upload videos from your library.
After importing videos of your choice, you then can mess around and arrange your video. You can click on your pieces of video and cut and crop them in any way you'd like. Also you can add background music and cool transitions to make your story more appealing and put together. The content library is where you can find all of these helpful tools.
iMovie is very flexible and not hard to use. If you mess around with the different buttons and resources available, you'll be able to make a polished movie in no time. Also you can add text and voiceovers throughout your video. Themes are also present, in order to make your video more put together and organized. Techniques such as splitting clips can really come in handy as well. You can cut your clips to make them shorter to split them into two separate clips. Lastly, from the File menu you can select finalize project. iTunes will then build your project and put it all together for you.
2. I already knew that you can use the clip trimmer to adjust your video clips. I knew that to extend a clip you drag the edge of the clip left or right, away from the center. And to shorten a clip you drag the edge of the corners towards the center of the clip.
3. I did not know that you could trim unwanted frames from a clip. You first position the playhead where you want to trim your clip. If you place the playhead at the first half of the clip, you then are trimming frames from the beginning of your clip, and vise versa. Lastly, you control-click the clip and choose to "Trim To Playhead" from the shortcut menu. This is a very helpful tool that I did not know before.
4. I am concerned with this final project about me being able to make a good quality video. I really want to make a well put together video and have a good story to tell. I hope I'll be able to easily figure out iMovie so I can focus on making a video to the best of my ability.
5. I am confident that I will be able to shoot videos and photos before hand and have them really to import into iMovie. I will be able to get these videos submitted into iMovie, and them I will just have to spend time editing and putting them all together.
6. For my video I want to shoot something that is active and adventurous. I would want to maybe shoot a video of me at a certain event or at a cool location somewhere in Austin. I would most likely shoot a film going somewhere and getting some cool photos and videos from it. If not this idea, then I would want to shoot one of my friends doing something for a day. It could potentially be like "a day in my life" video.
