DONE DONE DONE

The experiences of creating the four podcasts for this class, from filming to editing have been interesting.
I know I have learned more than I expected about putting together just a few minutes of video and information, and I have attempted to use iMovie to appropriately edit and create videos that 'flow.' For this podcast the filming was amazing- we used Liz's prompter idea- GENIUS! Also, after creating three other videos it was nice to know how much information was necessary for 7-10 minutes of video.
So, back to the filming - Brandi, Jannibah and I filmed at my apartment this time and we set up lighting and checked glare, shadow, sound, color, etc. We were trying to create a good environment while following the suggestions we have received throughout the semester. We had a GREAT time. The three of us are lucky to enjoy each other which makes filming more fun and tends to relax us. I hope that comes through in this podcast.

Editing- I forgot my MyBook at home yesterday, so I uploaded my footage, began to edit -- I had 6.15 minutes put together so nicely and BAM iMovie shut down.... sad times because I had FAILED to save my work. It was my fault for not saving- the computers fault for RANDOMLY deciding to SHUT DOWN-- I know these things happen, but this computer has done this to me three times- that is a pretty high ratio considering I only use the computer once a week. Anyways- so I re-load the footage and begin again- I was very upset/tired and flustered, but knowing that all of you (my classmates and friends) are forced to watch my video I did do my best to make it flow smoothly.

I hope you enjoy the discussion on the internet, RSS feeds and agenda setting.

Oh- and NO out-takes this time either- filming went so well that I didn't have any... sad times! Those were my favorite part-

Here it is, finally, my 4th podcast. ENJOY IT!
