Group Video Project

I actually enjoyed during our video project.  We kind of had a hard time figuring out what topic we were going to use.  Once we settled on a topic it went a little smoother.  We finally decided to do Crossing the Street.  Once we came up with a topic things kind of flew by.  We started to video and had a few problems with the video camera.  Niether one of us had worked one before so we didn't know how well that was going to go.  Once we figured out how to use the camera it was ok.  It didn't take us very long to shoot our video.  It took Gina maybe 3 takes and it took only one for myself.  After we shot the video, we went to the media room to upload our video, which turned out to be a hassle.  We had the newer camera so we  had to use the newer version of the Maker which we didn't learn how to use in class.  The newer version wasn't that hard getting used to, but it was ok.  Some things were actually better, like being able to cut from the middle instead of the ends.  The time while editing the video FLEW by.  It took us 3 and a half hours, but it didn't seem like it took that long.  I am impressed with the end product.  I really had fun doing it.  Gina and I made a great team together!  I don't know that I would have done anything differently other than use the older version of the camera so we could use the version of the Movie Maker that we went over in class.  It surprised me how easy it was to shoot and create the video.  It was time consuming, but I thought it would have been a lot harder.  Never in my life did I think I'd be able to shoot and edit a video, and post it on Youtube.
