How to make suppositions.
Vary your structures!
Examples:
I'm guessing this show is about cat fanatics put together in the same room. They probably organize competitions about who can tame their cats better!
Chances are, the show features people who wear cat-like outfits and cat ears as a lifestyle!
How to say "it's good!" in more meaningful ways!
Always think about words that convey a precise idea!
How to say "It's bad!"
Add words to the list!
Now modulate!
Use adverbs to enrich your structures.
Examples:
It's utterly disturbing!
It's decidedly humiliating!
It's rather insulting!
NB: the adverb is always placed ....................... the adjective.
REMEMBER TO WATCH MOVIES DURING THE HOLIDAYS!

Video Editing
dans la catégorie IT tutorials
Some tools to make your video:
To download a video from websites such as Youtube:
Vdownloader is free and very easy to use. It is a software that you need to install on your computer.
You can also download videos with online converters, but those sites are sometimes unsafe to use (viruses).
To extract a sequence from a DVD, you may use Format Factory or Magic DVD Ripper. Both softwares are free, however, some DVDs are extremely well protected, so success rate isn't 100%.
If you need some help with how to use the software, research tutorials on the net.
To edit your video, I recommend the use of Windows Movie Maker 2.6 (free again). It usually comes with your computer, but some versions are less complete than others, don't hesitate to download it if you don't have it.
Here is a tutorial:
Complément d'information:
En cliquant sur l’icône "micro" dans la partie du bas (table de montage) , vous verrez apparaitre "démarrer la narration", si vous avez un micro intégré ou un micro extérieur de branché, vous pourrez enregistrer votre voix et cliquer sur "arrêter la narration" Il vous demandera alors d'enregistrer le fichier. Votre voix est enregistrée, vous n'avez plus qu'à la placer au bon endroit sur la table de montage de manière à ce que le nouveau son corresponde à l'image.
Le niveau d'entrée vous permet de moduler le volume du son.
Vous pouvez utiliser l'outil "fractionner" (sous la fenêtre vidéo) pour supprimer des passages indésirables de la vidéo ou de la bande son.
Afin de faire les découpes de manière précise, n'hésitez pas à utiliser le bouton "image précédente / suivante"
Voici également le manuel d'utilisation du logiciel, pour plus amples renseignements.

Pour la première partie de votre tâche, n'hésitez pas à vous enregistrer sur un fond visuel (trailer muet du film. image tirée de l'extrait, etc)
Good luck, and post your comments if you have questions!
