iMovie Freshman Database


Our assignment for the past two weeks was to create an movie using IMovie based on the storyboard that our groups created for the previous assignment. My group chose the Honors Introduction to Literature taught by Mrs. Zoz because all four of our members are taking it or have taken it. This project was a great way to expose us to the iMovie application. It taught us how to put video and stills into one movie. It also taught us how to enter music, picture-in-picture, and transitions. It also taught us how to lengthen and shorten clips and stills. I do not think I would change anything about this project. I think that the directions and requirements were completely reasonable.

Tangled Podcast Summary

This week's assignment was to do a podcast about a movie. I chose Tangled, which was Disney's version of Rapunzel. Last year I did a podcast for History, so I have had a little experience with creating podcasts. This was the first time I had used Garage Band though. I thought that Garage Band was somewhat difficult to use. I did understand the basics eventually though. This project taught me how to use Garage Band and create a podcast on it. It also gave me more exposure with MLA format Works Cited. If I could change something about this project I would only require one jingle.
