Lights, Camera, Action

Last week we were given an opportunity to use iMovie to edit our "Door Scene" projects from the previous week.  Although I enjoyed the first steps of the project, I thought five steps would have been overkill for the assignment.  However, the chance to make the audio and video changes through iMovie sparked an entirely new interest for me with digital storytelling.  I felt like I was in my own little editing studio, and I really started to have a lot of fun with the project.  The other steps were entertaining because they were goofy to film and fun to work with the off-the-wall ideas that many of us had, but this step brought with it a whole new dimension of digital storytelling.
Any one working on the computers close to me could tell that I was having a little too much fun with the editing process, so much so that I caught myself laughing out loud at times.  It was really entertaining and exciting to be able to take what seemed to be a bland video and turn it into a piece of digital media full of transitions, soundtracks, visual effects, sound effects, and much more.  I can't wait to work through our remaining projects and see what else I can discover through iMovie and any other editing software we might come to utilize.
