Video Hardware/Software Repsonses

1. How was your experience with the Olympus digital camera?

It was not as bad as I thought. I found that the camera was low quality, and yet I got a lot of great shots with it. I thought it was going to be a lot harder to get good shoots but it was not that difficult.

How did it compare with other still or video cameras you have previously used?

It was a lower quality, and it had less effects. This also adds to the need for photographic talent. I liked having low quality camera, because I created something that looks good, with something so cheep.

Were you able to successfully implement your Image Capturing Strategies using the features of this camera?

Yes, I used very basic stratagies, so the camera being very basic did all that I needed it to do.

In an ideal world, how would your still/video camera of choice function?

It would have an endless power source, and memory. It would also always get good pictures and the pics would turn out exactly as u wanted them to in your mind.

2. Discuss your choice of video-editing software and describe your history with this software.

I choose to use Final Cut Express. I choose this on a suggestion from my TA, and friends. They told me it was a useful program, and that it can do the most out of all of my available programs. I have no prior knowledge of use of this program. It helped me accomplish my goals because I created the videos I wanted and I like them.
If you used this software for the first time, explain why you chose this particular application and how you think it helped you to accomplish your creative goals (or proved detrimental).
See above.
Will you use this software again for future projects?

Yes I will. I have also been told that this program is becoming the industry standard. So I will try to become better at using this program, and hopefully one day be excellent at using it.
