The third module I completed was iMovie module. This module consists of filming and editing a short movie with the program iMovie. I decide to complete this module with Mario because of several reasons. The first reason is the fact that I am relatively new using iMovie, and Mario owns several Macs and is very good with the program, so he could teach me many things. The second reason is that Mario has a band, and I thought it would be very interesting and challenging to record and make a music video. What I really liked about the iMovie module was the final product. Sitting there and watching a movie I made from scratch was worth every ounce of work.

The only problem we faced was probably the worst thing that could have happened to us. Due to the fact that neither of us had filmed a music video, we decided to film the actual video and then record the song. What happened is that when we uploaded the clips and joined them with the music, we realized that some of the clips were too short, because the band was playing faster then when they recorded. This problem lead to our video having many empty spaces that ended up being periods were the music kept playing and the screen was black. Another problem about filming before recording was that the singer’s lips weren't coordinated with the music. In the end, we did our best to make are music video as good as possible.

To sum everything up, I really enjoyed creating the music video. I learned how to use iMovie and how I can make my homemade videos so much better. I am really psyched to have another chance to edit a movie, because I found out that there are so many things you can do. Using iMovie, I can add titles, effects, and more audio to a video clip. The only bad thing is that iMovie is only for Macs.
