video progress-Jimmy Helfrich

I have quickly figured out that this video is very difficult to make because of the technology that is required to edit the video. Naturally, I am pretty bad with anything technology and this makes this assignment very difficult for me. I have to learn all the techniques used in windows movie maker  to create this video. The hardest part is trying to move other clips from outside sources into the video itself and making sure that they are condensed to the right size. I also am having great difficulty trying to implement background music because it is hard to decide what exactly to put as background music that will really tie the video together. A major flaw would be just throwing in some pointless music for the video, and this is precisely what I am trying to avoid. One thing that I do have down on the video is how to add text efficiently and make it look really nice. So far, I have about thirty seconds of my video created because I really did not plan on it being this hard from the beginning. It takes up a lot of time and I really wish that I would have started this video way sooner than I actually did. However, I do feel like I am starting to get a feel for the techniques used in windows movie maker, and I think that I have the capability of putting out a really persuasive video; one that will surely impact the audience.
