Video Mash-up Time!!

Boy was creating this a journey! Being an android user, I lowered my standards a bit and used iMovie for this video. I couldn't quite figure out how to use the windows video editor, while the apple version was much more straight forward. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a specific theme for his project or not. At first I created a neat little list of video themes I wanted to include and the order they would go in. At the end though, I just did some random stuff. I included a lot of D&D and cat stuff because those are my favorite things. I found the Cats movie clip and had never even heard of this movie before. It was so bizarre and freaky I just had to use it. I also included a video clip of a lady dancing around. This clip was actually used in one of the tutorial videos, but I really liked the old fashioned sense to it, so I used it as well. I didn't actually edit any of the videos, other than trimming them. I wasn't sure how to do that in iMovie, and I'm always scared if I do something it'll ruin the rest of the progress I've made and I'll have to start over. It actually took me a little bit of time to even figure out how to trim the videos though, so I'm glad I didn't try to do anything crazier with them. It would only allow me to trim a video to a certain size, so I would have to split the video and then trim, then repeat. For the music, I used the song I had made for the last project. I don't think I ended up getting the exact part of the song I really wanted though. I liked the ending of my song, so I wanted that to be in the video, but I don't think that ended up happening since I didn't know what I was doing at first. Then I really love listening alternative indie and epic music that you hear in theaters, so the last song in my video is one that I've been listening to often lately. I actually didn't plan to have that song line up with the battle scene from Game of Thrones, but I was happy it did. Then there was random music from iTunes that I used. For these I stuck with more "poppy" and happy songs that would go along with the goofy scene of the cat playing D&D and the intro of the Cats movie clip. Overall, I liked this project. I'm sure my video isn't as elaborate as others, with it only consisting of maybe 5 video clips. But, I had fun making it. And now I actually know how to use iMovie! Now I might just have to go and make some goofy trailer for my D&D group!
