Television has been around for decades now, it is watched by billions of people around the world every day. Any advertisement, TV show or movie that you see every day used video editing tools to make it the way it is. It shows just how important video editing is to our world in every day life. The two video editors that I will be comparing are Windows Movie Maker and Apple’s iMovie 11. I thought it would be interesting to compare these two editors as they are made/owned by two of the industry’s biggest companies/rivals. These video editors are commonly used by people who would tend to upload videos to YouTube. Both Windows Movie Maker and Apple’s iMovie 11 are quite cheap in comparison to some of the major video editors out there. Windows Movie Maker is free to download and available to anyone with a Microsoft computer. (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows-live/movie-maker)
Apple’s iMovie 11 on the other hand is not so cheap. It costs approximately $15 to download and is available to anyone with an Apple device i.e. Mac, iPad etc. Compared to some of the bigger and more complicated video editors, it’s of relatively low cost but more expensive than what I’m comparing it to. It has a few more tools at the user’s disposal than Windows Movie Maker and it’s still quite easy to use. Apple’s iMovie 11 is also quite commonly used by ‘YouTubers’ because of its

  • Pros And Cons Of The Youtube Effect

    1034 Words  | 5 Pages

    The “Youtube Effect” I agree with Moises Naim’s observations on the “Youtube Effect” because his ideas and observations are still as accurate as his observations were about 12 years ago. As an avid youtube user myself, I can vouch for his observations because not only do I use youtube for entertainment purposes like most young adults my age, I also use youtube to find out about serious issues that are going on in the world. youtube allows millions of people to watch and post all sorts of videos and I feel as though there are a few pros and cons of the “Youtube effect”. The pros of the “Youtube effect” are the fact that the informative videos can educate you on things you had no previous knowledge of. More than half the time, you can acquire more information from an informative video than you could just by watching the news.

    Although “The Twilight Zone” impacted modern television it also differs from modern television in distinct ways. At the time of being aired “The Twilight Zone” was in black and white and provided standalone episodes with no general plot line which had not been done before. It also focused on science fiction, the future, and the impossible whereas modern television likes to focus on reality and realistic fiction. Modern television also focuses on shock value rather than intellectual value. Special effects have come a long way since the 50s-60s so modern television provides full color and

  • Fritz Lang's Use Of Editing Techniques In The Film Metropolis

    Parallel editing was present in the film wherein it was edited in a way that two scenes were alternating to make it appear that they were happening simultaneously (Lorber, 2010). High and low angled shots were also present, and panoramic shots as well. The editing that I liked the most was in the scene when The Machine Man was made to look like Maria. The surge of electricity in this particular scene and the orbits going up and down The Machine Man was what amazed me. It is shocking that in order for this to happen, the people responsible for editing had to film this frame by frame so imagine the hours, days, weeks or even months that were put into this particular scene.
