Most of the work that I did for this week I did at the end of week 11. The professor commented on my blogs and I edited them afterwards to make the overall story of the blog better. I also added in examples by other students of each of the assignments I did after the professor had commented on my blogs. I created 5 Video Assignments, totaling 17 stars. The links for each blog created are below…..

Creating these video assignments was a challenge in many more ways than one.  Not only was it challenging at first to utilize video editors such as iMovie and MPEG Streamclip to edit clips the way I wanted them to be, but also to make sure I didn’t lose the story while editing.  Not only did I have to make sure that I didn’t lose the original story that was portrayed by the clip but also had to view the creation in a way as to how I was adding a story to it.  To me this was difficult but it required me to think in a new way, which in the end was beneficial.  By creating a new story it helped to see a new side of creativity that is possible, along with extraction minor details in the story and making them a major part in the story or just simply incorporating them into the story.  These two weeks were beneficial in learning how to use new media editing tips, but the real lesson I learned was how to create and extract things from old clips to create a new story that one may not be able to see at first, but can be seen after someone tells them the story.
