Working on the Machinal video

Today I am editing a video I came up with for the play called Machinal. Machinal is the story of a young woman in the 1920's who feels trapped by society. Everyone around her is like a machine, and she keeps doing what she thinks she is supposed to do and putting others needs before hers.

The play is extremely exciting, and I filmed dress rehearsal on Monday evening. I am putting together what I hope will be like a movie preview, except for a play. I am trying something new that I couldn't find a lot of information on, but I am going to try to make it so that people will definitely want to see the play. I have a lot of footage, and I think I will make a second clip about the theater intended not just about Machinal, but to show why our theater program is so cool.

Because there is so much footage, it takes a lot of time to import into IMovie. I use Imovie because its the simplest and it comes free on a mac. However, just because its free doesn't mean its not amazing software. All of my movies which I have done recently have been edited via IMovie, and it helps me add transitions, trim clips, add music. However, I still have to create the purpose of the story that I am telling.
