Why am I here?

I work at a dental office on 48th street in midtown Manhattan. I design and maintain the websites for my office in addition to maintaining the office computer network. I decided to take film and media courses because it will greatly help me with some of my job responsibilities. Currently my websites look very amateurish and I would like to hopefully improve them by learning more about the technology behind them.
The internet is progressively moving towards video for most things. Web pages are rarely static anymore. Most sites contain flash animations or some sort of videos that advertises the site. I have noticed that from the few videos that I have posted on YouTube.com in the past, that they get more page views than regular static html pages on my websites. So my aim is to create professional looking videos mostly geared towards the dental/medical industry.
I am not a film/media major. I am currently undecided. My goal is to major in computer science but so far I have taken a grand total of 1 computer course in my time at hunter. (I’ve been here two years already)
I am highly curious about webpage design and video editing. I have experimented with editing in programs like adobe premier. I have found video editing to be relatively simple and not as complicated as it may really seem.
