One month back in school and from the beginning, I never thought this decision had to be made this early on the year. Nerves and doubts are filling me right now in every way possible because what if my perspective of what I choose changes in a few months within the running school year? I desire to; either if I choose the film or the magazine, feel comfortable and to be able to manipulate it to my will, benefit, and even above limits to succeed in impressing my future viewer. My first impressions from the two softwares were frustrating on my part, this because I never thought these two editors would be as hard to figure out since the majority of us have worked with some basic editors before in our phones; for instance, to edit a picture, or the cover from your online book, which are reasons these had been useful for me before.

As I mentioned before, if you pay close attention to it, it gives you background information, such as character's names or role in the film, mainly introducing you to the main character; an excellent example of is the opening scene of the film "Saturday Night Fever"; starts off with John Travolta, interpreting "Tony", walking around town with a can of paint in his hand with disco background music, which seemed very off to me because of the style of his outfit, which was a very fancy one but it made a good contrast of what he wanted to portray he was versus his actual life; it was also very noticeable of how well known Tony was around his town because of the part where the lady from...
