For this assignment I chose to read one of my favorite poems by Shel Silverstein.  It is called Love.  I was excited to make it my own.

One of the things I have always loved to do is swing on the swing set in my back yard.  I knew I wanted swinging to be the video to put the poem to.  I had my sister swing while I filmed at an unconventional angle.  To go with the poem, I had her jump off the swing and create a “V” with her arms.

During editing in Windows Movie Maker, I took the audio out of the video.  I uploaded myself reading the poem on audacity an cut the two together.  Editing involved cutting and overlapping along with a lovely music clip in the background.

I wanted to create a sense of joy and love.

The video is only 9 seconds long, but I messed up and put something at 11 minutes….
