For my monologue, I choose to talk about the season finale of The Bachelor that will air tonight on ABC. This is the first season that I have watched the show from the beginning.  It all really started because I was bored waiting on my husband to get out of class so I watched the first episode on the internet. I was pretty much hooked from there.  It has turned into one of the shows I watch every week and I am excited to see what happens tonight. 

So far I have learned a lot in class.  I came in knowing pretty much nothing about video editing/production. I really like to play around with the different effects and learning how to add more into the video to make it more interesting.  The transition tool is something I have gotten the hang of pretty well, the simple ones at least.  Spacing the text on the page such as the lower third or scrolling text is something that I am still playing with and trying to figure out but I am getting there. I am looking forward to learning more as the semester goes on.  I know I will be able to use this information outside of class too even if it isn't for a job.  I have videos from vacations, my wedding, etc. that I have not done anything with because I didn't know how but now my family is going to have the coolest home videos, as long as I find the time to edit them all.   

Hope you enjoy my video.
