Be compassionate towards alcoholics....

For my classical argument I wrote about how people should be more compassionate and less judgmental towards alcoholics because studies have shown that it is a disease. Unless a person has experienced with having a family member or friend affected by alcohol, a person really does not know how hard it is to overcome this sickness. Everyone chose a topic that they are passionate about or have a stance on a topic. I decided to write about this subject because it is something that I have been affected by. I feel it is an interesting topic and there are many people out in the world that are too affected by it.

When I was home for thanksgiving I asked a few people a couple questions regarding my topic and they responsed. I put together my slide show and all I had to do was edit it by adding colors, change the text fonts and put music in the background. Once I got to Utah I was about to work on it, but then the slide show would not work and the interview clips would not play. I am stressing out about this project. I'm not good at editing and I'm not too sure about how to put music in the background or add the video clips without having the music and sound to the videos collide. Now I have to have my dad send the interview clips on a cd so I can re- do my slide show. I hope I can figure it out by myself. If you have any ides about how to add music and interviewers or to make the slide show actually work please let me know. thanks!

  1. What program are you using to set it up? Are you trying to put music to it as like video clips, so movie? Or to a powerpoint? I'm using imovie for the first time on mac to put music and change colors of my video, etc. for my movie. I was going to do a powerpoint as well but seeing as I had video clips I wanted to put in there I just decided to go with a movie with subtitles ;)
