I enjoyed making both of these pieces! They allowed me to get my feet wet in the deep waters of Camtasia. In these projects I experimented with the program and played around with all the effects and features. It was definitely frustrating at times because the "live" aspect to it made me nervous of messing up - which happened often - so I had to frequently start over. Either I would make a typing error or an ad would pop up in the middle of my live presentation, so by far, the biggest challenge was trying to make the video error-free all at one moment in time. 

THEME ALERT 

"Change": The idea of "change" in these two pieces can relate to my own personal experience producing both works. Both videos are representations introduced me to the world of Camtasia and taught me so much about the software. I had to make a few changes throughout the live recording, because I had to start over so many times. Each time I started over, I changed how I was going to present the material (even though, much of it was improv). This change, however, helped me grow even more in the realm of Camtasia when making the E-poem (non-live) video, since I took a lot of the helpful tips from making these two videos and applied them to the next assignment.
