iMovie

The past three weeks we've been learning how to use iMovie.  Kendall Conner has been teaching the class and doing a great job explaining the program in an understandable way.  I will admit, it was a lot to take in for three weeks but we got it and were able to make our own videos.  We started with clips of Baltimore that he took and we pieced them together how we wanted and learned to edit and cut different clips to shorten or lengthen the time of a iMovie project.  

We learned that there is A LOT to video editing and there is so much that goes on behind the scenes after the videos are shot.  In iMovie you can put music in the background of clips, do voice overs, and even separate the audio file from the video that you're using and sooo much more.  This is useful if you don't want to see the person on a video talking and only want to hear their voice in the background of the movie.  We used a video of Ben for our videos and separated the audio track in order to do what I just explained.  There is so much that you can do with iMovie that it would take me too long to explain it all but I will say that I will be using this a lot more in the future.  

Through this class I found an interest in editing video and will continue to do it.  It is so relevant to our culture today and crucial that we keep up with the latest technologies.  Being tech savvy and good at a multitude of things is going to really help me with the ministry in the future.
