Task:
For this assignment you will need some original video to edit, preferably ones you have taken so you hold copyright. If you don’t have any, go take some with a digital video camera or your cell phone. If you don’t have one, ask around and borrow a friend’s video camera or phone. First create a webpage called: videoediting.html to display your work, then complete the following:
- Import your video clips (at least 2-3) in to the video editing software.
- Cut, trim, combine and add additional audio tracks (such as a background sound)
- After you have edited your clips in to a final video (no longer than 5 minutes and/or 250 mb) save the video in an HTML 5 format (MP4 or Ogg format). Using the insert HTML 5 video option in Dreamweaver, add your video clip to your web page. Include a short narrative about what you did with the embedded video on your webpage.

Response:
For this assignment, I chose some video clips that I made for my friends on Facebook. The videos were in response to an awareness challenge circulating on social media. I thought it would be clever to place the context in the introduction of the video, combine the two videos into one and add some transitions and an audio track (a free music track provided in iMovie). I primarily use an Apple so I decided to go with iMovie for this project. My next video project will feature Camtasia.
