So all today I have been working on editing footage for our meme video project, and every time I solve one problem I realize that I have about ten more problems. I am currently trying to figure out how to fade one scene into another. I also have no idea how to add a page with text before the video starts, as well as credits at the end. Anyone know how to do these things???

Meme assessment
For the meme assessment portion of our homework I chose to assess the video that know your meme created about "Antoine Dodson". I chose this video because it is one that I thoroughly enjoy, and I wanted to see how the people of know your meme would go about dissecting this meme.
Layering:
The use of many different renditions of the Antoine Dodson song shows how great of a job was done with layering. The many different versions were shown in part throughout the video, giving the audience the sense that the original video was very popular. Also this layering is humerus in that some of the renditions of the Antoine Dodson song were quite interesting.
Unity:
Although the Basil Marceaux video showed how funny Antoine Dodson was and how un-funny Marceaux was, this video was pretty much pointless. It was dropped into the middle of the video and seemed extremely out of place. While watching the video for the first time I was very confused as to why the people at know your meme were showing this seemingly random video. I would have to say for this specific meme, the people at know your meme did a terrible job of displaying video unity.
Overall Assessment:
I would give this video a C+. The know your meme people are great at what they do, and very funny, but I was just not impressed with their portrayal of this specific meme. I really wish they had taken a different route to dissect the meme because the original video was very humerus.
Perspective:
The perspective of the video shows that the way it was shot serves a purpose. The video is shot as if it were an instructional guide, when in fact it is giving information like an instructional guide. The point of view of this video is professional, thus making the video even more like an instructional guide to "know your meme". The overall perspective is fairly good, but the only thing it is missing from our rubric is the type and number of angle shifts. I was fairly unimpressed when I found the video to be mostly shots of the actress talking about the meme.
Juxtaposition:
This video does an excellent job of juxtaposition in that the video shows comparisons of new videos to the original Antoine Dodson video. The use of Basil Marceaux was a great example to show how truly funny the Antoine Dodson video was. Also the music remixes of Dodson's plea showed a great sense of juxtaposition.
