I used a DSLR to film and wevideo.com to edit my 5x5. I was confortable with using my DSLR, but using wevideo.com was new to me. I was worried at first, that I would have a lot of difficulty figuring out how to edit on wevideo.com but it turned out to be pretty easy (although I had some trouble figuring out how to trim clips at first).

Overall, I am satisfied with my first video; however, there were a lot of things that could have been better. I wish my footage could have been more exciting. It was difficult for me to think of a theme or topic to film. I am used to taking photographs instead of filming, which was a challenge when it came to this project because I feel that in film, there always has to be something captivating going on on the screen, whereas in photography, only a moment is captured, and, unlike film, the photo is artsy moreso than exciting. This was the main challenge that I had with this project. I felt that some of my footage would have looked better as photographs instead of footage. Overall, however, I am happy with my editing, and I was happy that I was able to figure out wevideo.com.

In our next video, I think we should film something that reflects our personality and interests.
