Capstone Video Journey 2

10/29/2019

   I must be very honest, this assignment was certainly a difficult process. I came across a few obstacles this week when trying to put together my video. To start I had a very challenging time with my downloading videos to my district laptop that I have been using through this program. It's honestly old and outdated and I feel like its going to go out on me soon. So because of that I had to use my home computer that I never use so it had nothing I needed saved on it. Then with my school site being closed I wasn't able to get the footage I wanted of my classroom and my students.
   What I did finally come up with for my rough cut it a draft that needs a lot of work. Because I am using Adobe Spark my video still has a presentation approach instead of a feel of a movie or film which I believe it is supposed to have. I am strongly considering purchasing a more sophisticated tool and just plugging in the ideas I already have to make something I am more happy with.
   Moving forward I would like to get some feedback from my cohort members on the editing tools they used and if they plan on using them and some tips if I do decide to go in that direction.

Alexis,

I agree that this assignment was challenging. Even-though, I feel that I am a little bit tech-savvy and know my way around various applications, software, etc. to be able to record, edit and produce short videos, powerpoint presents, etc. However, with the added challenges of power outages, internet/wifi challenges, and school closures added tremendous stress and anxiety in completing this assignment. Lastly, I struggled with utilizing the iMovie application on both my phone and iPad. Therefore, I am wondering if I need to consider using a different video recording and editing program or application. I also would like to get feedback and input from our colleagues and instructors.

Regards,

Lisa Marie

Alexis,

One of the most important things I've learned and been reminded of time and time again is the importance of having the right tools for the job and quality tools that work the first time every time. I definitely know your laggy/old computer struggle because I have been there myself. Also, the moving video and pictures from phone to computer can be a drag as well if you don't have a good connection.
One of the suggestions I would give to future cohorts is to have a file either docs or saved on the computer of all the images and/or video clips used throughout the entire program so they can be easily accessed in the future when creating this capstone website. Having everything in one place makes everything go so much more smoothly!
