Daily Log

Reflection

• Using iMovie, I created a video about how I've changed from 7th grade to 8th grade because I really have changed a lot in one year. My interests and hobbies have shifted a lot from my old self, with only some things staying relatively the same. I also think that short-term trends have some sort of effect on my interests.

• During this process, I learned how to make my voiceover loud enough to hear but not low quality. First of all, I stopped clipping it to my shirt which tended to be too close to my mouth, instead holding it at about the middle of my chest. This made a reasonably loud sound while also not decreasing the quality of the audio. I then had to balance out the volume of my music and sound effects with my voiceover to create a blend of sounds more pleasing to hear, my voice being the main focus but my music also in the background able to be heard.

• 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 Digital Citizen because I only used Creative Commons images and sounds in my video. I also got verbal permission from my friend to use his face in the video.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was trying to add new music mid-video. The software thought it was supposed to start at the beginning and I couldn't get it to start later. I was able to do it by duplicating the audio and adding it right after the first one. I then muted the first audio so that the second one would start mid-song and the first one would never play, even though it is still technically there.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change some of the hobbies I showed. The reason why I would change it is because I feel like I could've added more diverse interests of mine. What I showed was mainly focused on streamers and video games.

• Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing.  My project connects to the Digital Multimedia CTE program at Hastings High School.  My project connects to careers in video editing software. This could include the creating of advertisements or promotional videos for companies, or even the programming of the software itself.
