For the past three hours I have been trying to figure out this video aspect..and I've gotten nowhere. My problem is this: I have a .mov file that I need to convert into a .wmv file. How I do that is beyond me. I tried to download a few software converters but those didn't help. I'm a little frustrated, but I want to talk to you (Sandy) about any other possible movie making programs, or if you can offer me any advice. I had some good footage about the day in the life of the Assistant Ticket Manager for Athletics, and am bummed I can't use it. I didn't get stills this week,just video. I ditched the idea of just talking to the associate dean of WSBE, because frankly, I figured it would be very boring.
Another rut: My semester project. The head athletic trainer is weary about volunteering an athlete to be my topic for the semester. I'm going to talk to him tomorrow, and hopefully make some progress. If not I want to call the Durham Rehab & Sports Therapy center and see if I can work with them. I don't have all that much information on them, I found the number through the Wentworth Douglas Hospital website, so maybe I can make some progress with them.
Shooting video...Watching my clips, they weren't bad for a point and shoot. Obviously there were some lighting issues, and fast movement of the camera, and background noise, but nobody's perfect. Luckily, I was filming on someone I was comfortable with. There wasn't much of her on film, a lot of objects, so that made it easier as well. I'm looking forward to this project...I just wish I could have started off on the right foot with the first video. I like the aspects of guest speakers. Fred offered some tips, but just seeing his work and the potential of what multimedia reporting can be, was very cool. It seems as if Don has a lot of experience, and will offer advice about video that will come in helpful this semester.
