My Life - Final Project

3.
A) I have music from 1994 and recently released music in my presentation.
B) I use the songs Little Wonders, What a Wonderful World, Stutter, The Sign, I'm Only Me When I'm With You, Everything, Swim, and Dynamite.
C) I chose songs that went well with my slides.

4. I googled information, and I looked into old photo albums and Facebook for pictures.
A) Phrases i googles were 'prices in 1994' and '1994 academy awards.'
B) I used google the most.
C) No, I believe I used all reliable sites.

5. I used Keynote to create most of the slides. I exported Keynote as a movie, and then pulled it into iMovie. After I finished editing in iMovie, I exported it into iTunes. From iTunes I pulled my project into Garageband where I edited my music. I saved my music in iTunes then dragged it into my presentation in iMovie. After I added the music, I re-exported my project to iTunes.

6. I am good at creating keynote presentations.

7. It was difficult for me to pull the movie into iMovie without cutting off the title.

8.
A) No, I didn't use still slides.
B) I turned my keynote into a movie because I had transitions I wanted to keep.
C) Yes, I kept a constant theme.
D) I believe a presentation looks best if you keep a theme.

9. I put a video of me racing on my Swimming slide with the 'picture in picture' effect.

10. This could be used in an autobiography about yourself.

11. I transformed the images, music, and information into an entirely different presentation.

12. Yes, I would make a presentation like this for a birthday or an anniversary. 

Music Genome

1. I chose ragtime because I was sick the day people picked the genre they liked.
2. I googled ragtime artists to learn about different songs.
3. I used Garageband, iTunes, iMovie, Safari, and other tools to create my project.
4. I was good at creating the slides.
5. It was difficult finding a way to download a video off of youtube and putting it into my project.
6. I used still slides and mobile slides for a more interesting effect.
7. I have already used iMovie in another class. This project can be used at a presentation including music and video.
8. I used the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976 by citing my work and using it for an informative purpose.
9. Yes I would because it is difficult for partners to work on a project on just one computer.
