Overcoming Adversity Movie







Hey, well here it is finally, WHEW what an effort that was. But it was worth it 'cos now Shaz is famous - a star is born! There was a bit of work involved in making the movie. After uploading the movie sequences from the camera to the computer we then had to make the movie which involved using Windows Movie Maker which can be downloaded free, and is easy to use. So we selected the sequences we wanted, dragged them into Movie Maker, edited them if they were too long, added transitions between the shots -check them out they are pretty stylie well no actually they are majorly overdone, but it was fun trying all of the different effects! Then we added the title and credits which was just a matter of following the instructions on Movie Maker. The only problem we had was the music!! We spent a while trying to figure out some good music that suited the movie and decided on "Road to Nowhere" by Talking Heads, so managed to get that added to our movie and everything was going according to plan until we tried to upload the movie to youtube. Oh no we hadn't understood the copyright laws and as a consequence our video has uploaded but without the music :( Nevermind, as our tutor pointed out it's a learning exercise - and we learnt. I'm just glad we don't have to redo it!!!!
