I borrowed a classmates footage today in order to complete the lab. This presented a few challenges because 1. I'm not familiar with the person who was interviewed, 2. I was not familiar with the collected footage until I began the project, and 3. I am not used to the style used by the person who's footage I used. Don't get me wrong, I'm VERY appreciative of her for allowing me to use what she did on her own, however this has taught me a very valuable lesson: If I have the chance to do the work on my own outside of the classroom (meaning, I am in possession of my group's camera), the I MUST take advantage of it.
Needless to say, I'm not too thrilled with what I created in the lab today. I mean, I guess its what Professor Littau is looking for, but at the same time, it's basically the bare minimum. On the other hand, I'm glad I'm learning the basics so that later in the semester things can get a little fancier. Professor mentioned today in class that by the end of the semester, we'll be able to go back to the work we did at the beginning and laugh and how amateur our videos were. Can't wait!!!

Plus you learned how to make links. The video footage might be borrowed, but I'd actually encourage you to look at your choices vs. others who used this footage. Notice how you all made different cuts. This really is illustrative of how we all see the story in different ways sometimes, even given the same info.
