Microsoft Movie Maker (MMM)

This week’s blog exercise include learning how to use Microsoft Movie Maker (MMM), making a simple video and put it up here, and then discuss my experience of video making. Now, before I begin my first attempt to “create a movie”, I must first do what I am best at, that is planning and researching. Here is a video I found on YouTube that teaches you and me, how to make a movie using MMM. This video is long, as it lasts for about nine minutes, but it is cool. It shows us not only the basics but also some special effects. Watch it to find out more.



The three main benefits of MMM:
1. You get to “manually” capture only the parts of the video that you want
• Saves space
2. You get to break up clips that you want to place at different places on your timeline
• Organization
3. You get to trim the ends of clips
• Perfect your video

Now, instead of taking a personal video and showing you my face, I took one of my favorite videos to learn, practise, and show you how easy it is to make a movie, or rather a presentation of your own.



All right, that was my masterpiece, but please, the voice in the video obviously does not belong to me (don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking). Making a video or movie with MMM is not tough at all. I did enjoy it because I have kind of created my own master piece from someone else’s work! It’s not ethical I know, but it is fun! Anyway, I have already acknowledged that THIS VIDEO DOES NOT BELONG TO ME, I merely borrowed it to experiment my movie-making skills. It does not look professional I know, but I guess it is passable for a beginner. Enough of praising myself, hope you guys can learn something from the above two videos and perhaps use these skills on your upcoming project!
