Can't really help out with video editing software, sorry! I used to use WMM but it ended up freezing a lot and the video quality wasn't great, even when I used DVD rips or downloaded video files. So I bought Sony Vegas and will never let go. Hopefully the Windows 8 MM is better. I did appreciate WMM's intuitiveness and how simple it was to use. If you can get a hold of a Mac at your school or wherever, iMove is loads better than WMM in terms of quality and specificity, but has a lot more configurations and might seem very confusing at first.

As for fanvid suggestions in case you're interested in them, I'd advise against using clips of characters talking, unless if you're doing a funny vid and trying to make them mouth the lyrics. Ditto for cutting in source vid voiceovers, but I mind that less because I've seen it used effectively in a few cases. Slow-motion clips that were obviously dragged out in the timeline don't work well to me; I love vids that are clipped to fit the beat of a song. If it's slow and somber, I'd go with clips that are already long (like focusing on scenery or silent characters) and not worry as much about cutting to a new scene as soon as a new line starts.

As others have said, it's kind of a trial and error, teach-yourself-as-you go thing. You'll soon find out what works best for you, want to tear your hair out at other points, how rendering a vid can be half the battle, and stare in deserved awe and pride at the brilliance of your creation. Best of luck!
