I found my inspiration for my hairstyle on pinterest, but that’s not what I want to talk about today. I thought I’d give video editing another try. I wanted to use a different app than I had used previously, but that didn’t work out quite how I wanted it to. To begin looking for a new platform I went to my app store on my ipad, and typed in “video editor”.  The first couple that came up were Canva and VN. VN video editor was the platform that I had used previously for this class. When I first saw Canva I was excited to use it because it is a platform that I like to use frequently for other classes and I have played around with making some posters. When I got into Canva it took me a second to find where I could edit a video. When I finally did find where I could edit my videos it was a little disappointing because I could tell that it wasn’t what I was looking for. It appeared that its use was more for making a video for a presentation. There was no place to speed up my videos, add music, cut clips, and I also couldn’t figure out how to put my two videos together to make one. After this I decided to try iMovie to edit my video, I had high hopes for this one as I have used it a couple times before. I was still disappointed by the platform. When I went to speed up my video it would only allow me to speed it up a little bit, but I needed to speed the videos up much more. So after trying to figure out iMovie and not getting what I want I decided to just go back to VN. Once I started editing my video on VN it was so easy. I could speed it up just the right amount, I easily added music and easily figured out everything I needed. As much as I wanted to learn a new tool I think using the tool I already knew worked out way better. 

Now to the actually hairstyle, I was disappointed by the hairstyle. There was nothing wrong with the hairstyle itself. It took me a very long time and I struggled with keeping all the little braids separate. To start the hairstyle I put my hair up into a high ponytail with my favorite scrunchie. After I put my hair into the ponytail I took a small chunk of my hair and started braiding it. I then finished braiding the first chunk and then proceeded to continue this process until the whole ponytail was little braids. I was supposed to put a little elastic ponytail onto all of the little braids but my mother did not have any, so I just left them without. Everything worked out fine and it was kind of cute, but it definitely won’t be a hairstyle I will be doing again.
