I have used my previously recorded videos from the Vocational Center and Photographs to build up my video for the Gallery. It is roughly 17 minutes long and consists of Pictures, Video Clips of Zeid Working and Interviews, and Music. I used iMovie to create this video and used music already in the program as well as my own as background music. I have subtitled the Interviews and Speaking Moments to Clarify what is being said. The Video is Called Finding Me Gallery.
