Reflection Post #5

This week we learned about screen casting and how to create videos on a Mac using iMovie. I found this topic particularly interesting because prior to last semester, I had not used iMovie on my mac before. I had seen friends of mine use iMovie to create very creative and interesting movies through the many options provided on the mac to construct movies. I always thought that it was a complicated app that required a surplus of time to understand and actually engage with. However, after last class, I became more interested in challenging myself to understand. Last semester, I used iMovie once to edit a video for a gym project, but it was a rather short video that did not require detailed graphics or design. After viewing this resource (https://docs.google.com/document/d/174-wSYFC93g03L3NciyZ_8uAs2cm0EW2Szk45gB194M/edit) posted on our class website, I took a look deeper into iMovie itself. I was able to take my time and follow YouTube guided instruction on certain directions and options associated with it. I took the time to create a small video of my summer from last year with simple photographs and small video clips, as it was just for fun to help deepen and grow my understanding on how to utilize it. In relation to my free inquiry topic, I am hoping to integrate a video made on iMovie into this topic. I am going to continue exploring iMovie and its various options in hopes to become an expert on it!
