Video response

I enjoyed that we were given a digital camera and it did it's job quite well I thought. It had better resolution that I thought it would and the recording feature wasn't to bad. I would have liked to be able to zoom while recording video but I still successfully implemented my image capturing strategy. If I could go get a better camera I would, but everyone wants to upgrade their life. Part of the experience is the primitive nature of the drift.

I had no history with the software I used to edit my video, iMovie. I liked it though, it was simple, didn't have many options on ways to edit but it did the job for my videos. I will use this software in other classes but or video's that I do for myself in the future I would like to get a program that is more diverse. I would like to be able to edit my video and audio next to each other in the same program with ease.

Audio response

Making microphones was quite a fun experience, I didn't expect it to be such a simple task, although some difficulty came in keeping my hands steady while soldering. It has such good quality too, I could get great close up recordings and ambient recordings. If I had the money to make my ideal set up I would make a suit that had built in microphones. A suit that others wouldn't be able to tell it was a microphone.

The MiniDisc recorder worked well for our task I thought. It was fairly simple to operate and seemed to get the job done. I havn't used any other audio equipment so I really have nothing to compare too, but I guess other than my micro-suit this would be an ideal device to use because it is simple small and durable from what I found.

I used audacity for the first time in this project, I have heard of the program before, and I found it to be quite a powerful little program. I enjoyed using audacity and will continue to use it for my future projects. It has a large variety of effects to use on your sound files, It helped me make the sounds I needed.
