=Video Project One = media type="youtube" key="_gHBsL0QP9w?hl=en" height="344" width="425" I created this video using iMovie. I used photos from my personal collection, input text on the first frame, and created a slide with text only for the second frame. The music in this video was retrieved from www.musopen.com, a website for copyright free music. The music in this video is Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Major Opus 32 No. 5.

I have used iMovie to create short videos before, so I didn't have too many challenges. One challenge was selecting music I wanted to include in my video that was copyright free. I immediately gravitated to "My Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music," but couldn't find any music that sounded similar that was copyright free. I had some trouble exporting my video to YouTube, and had to export the file to my computer first, and then load it onto YouTube. Another challenge was mixing the music so there wasn't a hard stop to the music at the end of the video. I had never used the audio editing and recording tools in iMovie before and became more familiar those tools, even though my final video doesn't include any voice narration. I learned how to fade out the music at the end of the video to conquer the problem of a hard stop.

=Video Project Two =

**Part A**: Take a screenshot, resize it so image size is less than 100K.

 OS used: Mac OS X - Snow Leopard I captured this image by pressing Command+Shift+4 on my keyboard. I didn't know how to do this on a Mac before this assignment!

**Part B**. Take a screenshot with Jing. Annotate the shot with the arrow and text tools in Jing. Resize the image to less than 100K.  OS used: Mac OS X - Snow Leopard The annotation tools of Jing are very intuitive and easy to use. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had to crop my original screenshot to make the image under 100K after resizing.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Part C**. Using Jing, record a less than two-minute narration and explanation of a process (your choice) on your computer.
