Word Jumble

Our first assignment was the Word Jumble, in which we constructed silly sentences out of random words. I really enjoyed this assignment because I got to know a few of my classmates and we got to be extremely crazy.

Along with having fun, I did learn a lot from this assignment. This was the first time I had used my Flip Camera, so this project gave me practical experience in using that device.

This was also the first time that I had used Final Cut Express. After using the program in class today, I've discovered that I really like that program. This summer I made a video in Windows Moviemaker, and while the experience was okay, Final Cut Express is more advanced. I think I'll be able to do a lot of cool things with videos once I become more knowledgeable with Final Cut Express.

Finally, I learned vocabulary in today's studio session. I now know that the four windows in Final Cut Express are: the browser, bin viewer, canvas and timeline. Other important terms I became educated on include: scrubbing, in and out points and playhead. I feel so smart!
