Using iMovie, I created a movie because I wanted to make a better movie than my first one. I also wanted to learn about other things you can add to your movie. During this process, I learned how to make a better movie with more things added to it.

The seven standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Empowered Learner because I used my previous knowledge and new knowledge to make a new and improved movie. Applying both sets of skills allowed me to successfully elevate the overall quality of my final video project.

A challenge I overcame on this project was finding the right photos for each person. I was able to do it by continuously searching for photos that suited each player the best. This persistent effort ensured that every visual perfectly matched the specific individual being featured in the film.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change how I learned new things to add to my movie. The reason why I would change it is because I used videos instead of just asking someone and it got confusing for a bit of the project. Getting direct help from a person would have saved me time and made the editing process much smoother.

The Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing. My project connects to Digital Multimedia in the CTE program at Hastings High School because Digital Multimedia is about text, audio, and videos. All of these elements were a major part of my project on creating a better iMovie.

My project connects to careers in Directors, Producers, Animators, and Content Creators because all the jobs listed include making videos involving shorts, video, and movies. Completing this assignment gave me a small taste of what these professionals do every single day. I now have a much deeper appreciation for the hard work that goes into these digital media careers.
