Week Ten: Video on the Web

For Activity #1 I did a search on YouTube for a catfishing video.  Catfishing is one of my favorite hobbies.  I particularly enjoy fishing in the spring and fall when the weather is nice.  I selected a video about trotline fishing for catfish and embedded it into a blog post on my blog.  The first couple of videos I selected did not have embed codes.  This is the first one that could find with an embed code.  Following the instructions on how to embed video into a Blogger blog set forth in this week's lesson I had no problem at all embedding the video in my blog..  I really enjoyed this video because it reminded me of several trot line fishing outings I had when I was about the same age as the boys in the video.   For Activity #2 I borrowed a digital camera.  After several false starts I finally figured out how to record video images.  The production quality of the video I have uploaded to YouTube and then embedded in my blog is pitiful but I did get exposure to Windows Movie Maker.  I am never going to be the next James Cameron but I think if I had to I could (with a decent camera) shoot a video and edit it into something worthwhile.
