Video Hardware/Software Repsonses

I found it to be easy working with the camera. Compared to other cameras I worked with in the past, the digital camera was easy to operate and light in weight. I feel anyone can use this camera. All you have to do is "point and shoot," unlike other cameras that require you to adjust some functions. This is helpful if there is an object you want to capture and don't have a lot of time to make those adjustments. Because of this and other options, I feel I was able to project my Strategy into my video successfully. In an ideal world, my camera would choose the best photos automatically and put them in categories as well.
The video-editing software I used was iMovie. I have used this program several times in the past. I edited some small experimental films for a neighbor using iMovie. Some may not like this program but I find it easy to use, without the complications of having to log your footage. You just connect your camera to the computer and press the import button. However, this semester was a unique experience because I had the opportunity to use different sounds, other than the ones on the videos. Since I am comfortable with this program at this point, I will continue to use iMovie and then begin to use other programs such as FinalCut Pro.
