"Funny Video About Mr. Alfred"
This is a fake interview used to break the ice during the first day of class. It is meant to be humorous. In my experience I have found that humor helps to establish a rapport with students. The video is also an example of the types of videos students will be making in the class. This will help to create interest in the upcoming class projects.

Production Notes
Video Creation
This video was created using a program called Visual Communicator. Within this program there are several generic template videos that you simply record your segments of the video and place them in the correct locations. To create these I used a Logitec webcam and recorded the video segments directly into the program. Once the video was complete, I used Visual Communicator to create a MOV file. The MOV file was then opened in QuickTime and compressed.
Posting to Blog
Once the video was completed and compressed, I uploaded it to my blog using the following steps.
1. I added the Title in Title block.
2. I typed in the content to go with the video.
3. I clicked on the insert video icon in the menu bar.
4. After clicking on the "Insert Video Icon" in the menu bar, you locate the video on your computer to upload, add a video title, and upload your video.
