Video Reflection

This video project was a new experience for me, and I found it to be a very interesting way to present class material.  I have never made a movie before, and I found that iMovie made it very easy to upload and edit the video from the flip camera.  I did have some trouble finding the features I wanted to add to my video; therefore, I had to use the "Help" option often.  If I could do my movie all over again, I would utilize more locations for filming.  My group only used one classroom for all of our scenes, and I felt my end product of a movie lacked a little something.  I based this change after watching my fellow group member's videos.  I loved my group's video ideas though, and I had a wonderful time filming it with my classmates.  We laughed a lot, and it was very enjoyable.  Honestly, I think it would be extremely difficult to have students in my classroom use iMovie to create an appropriate movie for a project.  I don't believe a lot of my students will have access to a movie camera or a Mac to use iMovie.  Secondly, I am not confident enough in my iMovie skills to teach my students how to use it accordingly.  However, I am pleased with this new experience and I hope one day to use it in my classroom.
