These screen-shots show me using Gimp to edit the image of the TV set I chose. I have erased the screen so that it is transparent, with the plan of somehow editing my video and putting it so that it looks like it is playing inside the tv set. I'm quite proud of managing to quickly figure out how to do that using gimp, considering I didn't have any instructions.

For some reason, when I go to save the image, it does not give me the choice of saving it as a pdf file, and iphoto does not recognize it when I save it as a gimp file. Also, I could not find anywhere in imovie where to import a photo to use, so to my frustration, I have been unable to edit the edited photo of the tv-set and my video together. It's annoying, because it would have been closer to what my idea for my installation piece is. But if you just use your imagination, and imagine that the video is playing within a tv, that works too. I suppose the real tricky part would have been to make it look like the tv set is in a room, but that just would have involved another photo. I think the tv set would have at least make it seem a little as if you are there instead of sat in front of your own tv, computer or phone watching it off youtube.
