3. I used What is Love, with some edits. I used it because it came out around the time I was born and I really like the song. I think it was a good addition. 

4. I used Google. For Images and info i would just type in the thing I was looking for. Like: 1996 House, or 1996 College Education Costs.


5. Noodle Tools, Garageband, iMovie, iPhoto, PowerPoint


6. The garageband part went easily well.


7. iMovie was pretty tough with taking KenBurns and making it my own.


8. I used still slides with Ken Burns. I thought that would be better than transititions because they look weird with too many transitions.


9. I used a commercial for a car to show what they were like.


10. I used it in on of my lit projects. 


11. I didn't use the same picture. I usually made small color adjustments for a better icture.


12. Yes, It could be a good Mother's Day gift.

1. I liked the My Life project. I liked that we were able to show everything about our life and even show our own pictures. I like being able to do what I wanted to do.

2. I didn't like the Music Genome Project. For some specific topics there wasn't enough information and it was a little tough to be able to figure out.


3. I didn't like that we couldn't use the iWork, like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, we didn't use that many working apps. We used too much of iMovie. I wanted to do more Word, Excel, and things like that, instead of iMovie.

Music Genome

1. A) Identify your chosen musical genre & B) say why you chose it.
2. Describe how you went about finding your songs and information. 
3. What different kinds of technology did you use to compile your project? [Web tools, Mac tools, etc...]
4. What are you good at...what went well for you in this project?
   
5. With what did you struggle on this project...what was difficult for you?
   
6. Did you decide to use still slides? Why or why not?  [If not, how did you convey your information?
7. For what other classes, situations, uses could this type of project be adapted? 
8. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976? [...not just that you cited the information, etc., but how did you transform the music, information, images, etc.]
9. Would you do another project like this on your own? Why? Why not?

I picked Jazz because I thought there were such great songs and other characteristics that were good and I wanted to learn about Jazz.
I searched Google for all information on jazz and other main songs. 
I used GarageBand, iMovie, PowerPoint, and Firefox to completely compile all of my information. I was the best at using iMovie and PowerPoint because of all of the previous projects. The hardest was transferring the GarageBand songs to the iMovie. I used still slides because I thought it was easier to show animations with building in instead. I could use this to convey information through a PowerPoint and make it look better. I used a Works Cited page to show all of the images, songs, and movies that I ended up using. Yes, it is interesting to see the different types of projects you can make out of PowerPoint and iMovie.

iMovie

1. Our topic, in this team is Notre Dame Men's Soccer.
2. My job was the job to collect all of the info and interviews and compile it into the iMovie project.
3.I mostly learned how to use iMovie better. I like that I can now compile a PowerPoint to an awesome iMovie!
4. The best was the interviews. We all got really good and interviews and it was easy to put in the movie.
5. The worst was completely taking out the Ken Burns effects and timing all of the pictures.
6. We put the slides and all of the pictures in on powerpoint, exported them, then put them in iMovie. All of the effects then were putting on and interviews were added in iMovie. We completely finished on time.
7. I learned all about ducking and Ken Burns effect in my movie.
8. You could use this project in a slideshow for a presentation.
9. I put a works cited page at the end to show all of the images I used.
10. I would do this for some good presentation. I could use it in a Spanish presentation, to show all of the good animations.

Vocal Podcast

I used the male voice, the fade out, ducking, a music track, and the broadcast music. If we needed to make a vocal voice I could use GarageBand and easily make one. People could post podcasts of their recent business opportunities and other deals for products. The easiest part of the project was the actual recording because it didn't take long and was easy to record and add effects. The hardest part was adding and acquiring the pictures; they didn't work at some times. I'd like to have the directions clarify what types of effects could be put in; like if we could put music or voice effects.

Storyboard Project

My group chose Notre Dame Soccer. Two of our group members were soccer players and we knew that that would help our group because they know the inside scoop of soccer. We choose the image above, the Notre Dame logo, soccer team, and 2010 seniors. We choose these because they really show Notre Dame soccer, especially the Championship Trophy. Our group used Google Docs so that everyone on our group could add ideas. Having a storyboard helps out because you get to see the project before you start. It's a great way to make a movie.
