To be perfectly honest, perhaps the hardest aspect of this assignment was finding a suitable movie scene to analyze. I wanted to ensure that it was meaningful to me, while also selecting a scene that was not dialogue-centric (as I figured it would be difficult to successfully overlap narration and dialogue without the piece becoming confusing). Once I selected this scene, I recorded myself narrating my analysis in Audacity while playing the video. This took several attempts, as the computer had trouble simultaneously recording me while playing sound. I ultimately chose to mute the video while recording myself to address this problem. I then downloaded the scene from YouTube and added it in CyberLink PowerDirector (my video-editing program). I lowered the scene’s volume and then added my narration, adding a promotional image from the movie during the beginning and end of the video where there’s only voice-over). Once satisfied with the product, I uploaded it to YouTube, where it can be viewed below.
