During the process of making a video mash-up I learned a lot of new things. It took hours of trying out different programs to figure it all out. Eventually I found a program through the SUNY Oswego website that was reliable. called VideoPad Video editor. I did have to eventually pay for it in order to post the video but it will be software I can continue to use.
The program was fairly easy to use, one I got the hang of it, and was easier than imovie and other programs I tested out.
The finished product is here, and something I am actually very proud of because it really took a lot of effort!
Below is the process of my video making:
So far in the creation of of the motivation video we have had to find numerous sources to make our actual videos.
The main struggle was finding videos to lace together that all sort of fit the same theme as well as being the same speaker. For my motivational video I chose to take snips of speeches of Rachel Hollis’ speeches. She is a woman who specializes in motivating women of all ages to stay the course and follow what you truly want to do.
Below are the recordings I will be using:
I had to download each video from youtube and convert it into an mp3 file so that I could use the audio.
I did realize thought that in order to have the video mash up included I would need to use a video downloader so that I would be able to piece together this motivational video on imovie.
After importing the videos to my computer I am starting the process of splicing them all together to complete the movie making process. This is definitely the most difficult part as imovie is very fussy and keeps on crashing.
Rachel Hollis
The general idea of Rachel Hollis’ speech is on the word “no” and basically said when other people tried to do the same thing she was trying to do the reason they aren’t doing it is because someone said no and they listened. She said she did not listen to the word no. When it comes to our dreams no is a detour and not a reason to stop. Reevaluate and strategize.
The quality of Rachel’s speeches are in an audience, with no background audio behind it. The intended audience of this video is mainly women I think, but also anyone who is wanting to be successful.
Rachel talks in a relatable and comedic way to people. She is not too serious as she cracks various jokes throughout the talk. She makes many jokes to engage her audience. Rachel has a very casual speech pattern and she emphasized the same point over and over to really get it into the audiences heads.
