Reflection Questions for PND Movie Project:

Write a 100-word paragraph describing your group's continued work on the PND Culture movie.  What additions or changes did you make from the original storyboard?  Did you change job assignments for anyone in your group?  How do you feel about the finished project?  What changes would you make in the future?


After we submitted our storyboard for the movie itself, we went ahead into making every slide from the Powerpoint into pictures to put into iMovie. We came up with the order and the transitions we wanted for the movie. We watched it through a number of times and did some resizing of pictures. Some things we changed were on our own decision such as removing the Powerpoint text and adding in text that moves. But our instructor gave us a few things to correct as well such as grammar touch ups and time duration. We did not really change assignments in the group. I've seen the finished result only once and i think it turned out great.

Blog Post Assignment Reflection Questions for Vocal Podcast (Movie Review) Project:

1.  What tools and techniques did you use to create your podcast?
I used things like the vocal track, music track, and image track. I learned about adjusting the volume of the music for different parts in the podcast.
2.  How could you use a project like this in other classes?

i could probably use it for any kind of project in any history or bio class. I could use it to describe different species of animals with many pictures for a bio class.
3.  In the “real world”, how could podcast projects be used (In what careers/businesses, etc.)?

In general, podcasts can to use to broadcast news and weather reports among a city or a community.

4.  What part of the assignment was easy for you?   What was difficult?

Finding the music was very easy, since i knew ahead of time what i wanted to use. Probably the actual recording of me speaking was a bit difficult to get the timing right and such.
5.  What part of the directions would you like to clarify?

Probably on how long a picture can show, like a minimum or a maximum. i have about 2 or 3 pictures that show for 25 seconds or more.

Blog #4: PND Culture Storyboard Group Project

Compose a 100-word paragraph reflecting what you contributed to the PND Storyboard project.  What changes would you like to make to the project before it becomes a "movie"?


My contribution to the PND Culture project was to do any part of it that was technical. I put the slideshow together, even with the help of Caylee for designs, and i will do the technical field of work when we make the project into a movie. So far I don't see very many changes. We still need to put Jarod's name to give him credit for the works cited, however. But overall, the storyboard looks great and should be ready to be made into a movie. I may need to reteach myself how to use the iMovie maker; even though I used it over our Christmas break, I'm still confused with the different fields and options.
