First Time Film Making

I was assigned a project in my english class a couple weeks ago where I was told that I had no guide lines but needed to show the class something they did not know about me. I knew immediately that I wanted to compose something that revolved around being outdoors. I've always had an interest in outdoor film videos and had the privilege of attending the Banff Mountain Film Festival when it came to Las Vegas a few months ago. I figured i'd take a few of my friends out to Red Rock with me and we'd mess around shooting some bouldering and a little of what we do on our hikes. I borrowed my boyfriends camera, the Olympus TG-1, since I don't own a camera, and we set out to film. Let me start off by saying that I was very impressed by the camera and plan on buying the Olympus TG-3 when it releases next month. Zach dropped it a few times while taking pictures of my best friend and I and it had no scratches at all! I wish I had the money to invest in a better film camera but for an extremely mediocre, beginning film maker, this camera will do just fine. I had so much fun editing and filming this video and I thought it would be fun to share it with you guys. It's not much, but it landed me an A in my AP english class, which was nice! Hope you guys enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StM7M-WiIJw 

PS: The view walking into Pine Creek Canyon was phenomenal so I thought I would share
