Music Genre reflection

A) My music genre was Broadway show tunes (1981-2010) B) I chose this music genre because I like Broadway Musicals. I found my songs based on the shows that I knew from the years 1981-2010 and the songs I liked from these shows. I found my information by searching the topics I needed, then getting information from various broadway websites.  I used powerpoint to make slides, iMovoe to put it all together, YouTube and iTunes to get music and video, GarageBand to cut music, and google images for pictures. Putting the final movie together in iMovie. and using powerpoint for the slides went well for me. It was difficult to cut the music in GarageBand for me. I decided to use still slides because I am familiar with powerpoint, so i used that. This type of project could be used in a music class, to show where different types of music come from, an give examples.  I cited my information, and I cut my music and video to fit the time limit for borrowed pieces of entertainment. I woud do a project like this if I had a topic that interested me. If I didn't, I don't think I would like to do another project like this.

iMovie project

 

1. My role on the team was putting the movie together.
2. I learned that teamwork is not always the most fun.
3. We finished the project quickly.
4. Communication did not go well for us as a team.
5. We first made the powerpoint. Then, we moved the slideshow to iMovie and added transitions, music, and video. Concepts changed when we started adding these effects.
6. I learned how to use iMovie during this project. I learned how to make a project in iMovie and the work that goes into it.
7. This type of project could be useful n all classes, depending on the topic you are studying.
8. I used Noodletools to make MLA citations for the websites, pictures, and interviews that I used.
   
9. I would do another project like this if needed, but if I had a choice, I wouldn't because I don't like the way that iMovie operates.
