Daily Log

Day 1

I was mainly messing around on iMovie learning how to use all of the important features

Day 2

I started my project by adding a basic intro screen that dissolved into a screen stating that I was a 12-year-old boy

Day 3

I finished the rest of my project by adding some more screens about my hobbies such as reading, cubing, and Pokemon GO-ing. 

Day 4

On the last day, I added an end screen, a voice-over, and music in the background. I also sprinkled some sound effects around for entertainment.

Reflection

• Using an iPad, iMovie, and the internet, I created a movie about how much I like the book Scythe because almost nobody has ever heard of it. I like Scythe because it has a very interesting plot and it is very original. I find it very sad that this book is so unknown to most people.

• During this process, I learned how to put titles, music, and sound effects into a movie. Another thing I learned is how to operate an Apple iPad. I also learned how to make my voice-over sound good by not putting the microphone too close to my mouth.

• The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Class Standard #2 Digital Citizen because I used Creative Commons images in my movie, and I am not making money off of my movie. This is important so I do not violate the rules of copyright and get fined. My project also ties to Class Standard #7 Global Collaborator because I published my movie to the world so that anyone can see it.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was discovering how to add a title to my movie. I was able to do it by using my pointer finger to press the image on my movie. This taught me to use my fingers on a touch screen interface to solve problems. Sometimes my genius scares me.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the intro to my movie. The reason why I would change it is that it is very simplistic and I didn't put a lot of effort into it. I would like to create something that will make the viewer go "Wow, this looks professional!"

• Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offer Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing.  My project connects to the Digital Multimedia CTE program at Hastings High School.  My project connects to careers in being a Field Associate Producer because it requires being creative and coming up with ideas on the spot.
