Group Advertising Project (Windows Movie Maker)

This past week in ED105, we were assigned to make an advertisement for different areas of learning. We were assigned to film an advertisement and edit it on an online software called Jumpcut.
My group, which consisted of Hannah, Vivian, Byron, and myself, chose to make an advertisement for Language Arts. We looked through a list of software that would help children with language arts and chose to do an advertisement on The Reader Rabbit Series. Filming the commercial was easy and a lot of fun; however, when it came down to editing the movie we encountered many problems. We were unable to upload any of our movie clips so we had no choice but to using a different editing software.
My group used a software called windows movie maker. This software was very user friendly and had many features. There were many transitions to choose from as well as movie effects. We were able to upload our clips easily and successfully. We were also able to add songs that over laid the video sounds.
In the end our advertisement came out a success and we shared it with the whole class. Overall, i believe this was a good learning experience even though the original software ( Jumpcut.com) did not work.
