MY LIFE

This was by far my favorite project we have done. It usually is everyones favorite but anyways. I loved looking through all my pictures that i have not seen in a really long time! I loved looking back at the memories. My favorite part of my video was the cheerleading part of the video. Cheerleading really is my life. My favorite place in the world is where i practice because all i get to do is things to improve my cheerleading. My friends, family, and cheerleading explain who I am. This video is something i loved to share for people to see my life. I had a lot of fun with this project.

GENOME PROJECT

I really liked this project a lot. I love picking the music and the the music video. My favorite band in my project is paramore. I had some trouble converting the video on zamzar at first and then I had trouble bringing it to the iMovie project but then it worked. I don't like having to adjust the music once u drop it in the project it takes a while to get it where you want them. The music video I picked is one of my favorites! This was a fun project but I did not like having to find the history and stuff because I feel like it slowed my project down. Alternative is a unique kind of music.

SNOW DAY WORK CITED

Then the next assignment for the snow day was the work cited page. I find my pictures an my websites that i have to give credit to and all of that. I copy and paste the work cited and i get all of that right. That is the easy part. THen when we have to indent the first line of the source, i forget how to do that part. I thought it was just hit tab and it wen tover but that has not been working. i have most trouble with the work cited page. Trying to meet all of the requirements for the projects or the assignment we get from the teacher that involves a work cited page. You have to make sure you get it done the way they want it.

MUSIC/VIDEO CONVERSIONS

At first i did not know what was going on with these snow day assignments with the conversions. I use zamzar when i download videos or something like that. Although I do something different when i download music. I go to 2conv.com. You go to a video on youtube of the song you want but you have to make sure its not a music video. It has to be a lyric video or of just a transition of pictures. Then you copy the URL and past it in the space on the website. You click enter and it downloads and loads straight into your itunes. then you have the music and its done.

iMOVIE

This imovie project was an okay project. It was not one of my most favorite projects we have done but it still was not a bad project. I had a hard time getting the special effect we had to have in the project. In my group we used picture in picture and i didn't know how to do it so it took some time to figure it out. It was a good project because of the required effects we had to have I know now how to do these effects and can use them in my projects in the future for other classes. Also getting the music timed right for the parts where there was no video and where there wasn't any video. I love baseball/softball but i probably would have liked this project more if it was on my favorite sport, cheerleading.    :0)

PODCAST!!!!

This podcast project was not one of my favorite projects we have done to be honest. I did not like having to record my voice because i thought my voice sounded weird and also because i was reading the script but i kept messing up. So it took many takes to get it right. I also had to talk faster because i had to fit it into 2 minutes. I did like getting to change how my voice sounded. i used a little of the effects but for fun i just played around with it and made dramatic changes. It was really cool how different you could make your voice. My final project, everyone said it was really good but I didn't at first. I made it so usually the creators criticize their work but after we played it in class i thought it was not to bad. It was pretty good!

Story Boards

We had a project done in groups and my group was a good group. Our subject was softball at Peoria Notre Dame. It was Lucky we had someone in our group who plays softball, so they knew all about it. We interviewed one of our teachers who helps with softball, Miss. Schallou. This project was easier than i thought it was going to be. I keep thinking there is something we are missing in our project but we met all the requirements. It was fun because we put our own style on it and put pictures of one of our group members playing softball. We also have a few other pictures of other Peoria Notre Dame softball players playing softball. I thought this project went very well.
