Storyboard # 2

As we progressed in the storyboard project, things finally fell into place. We finished the interviews that I made with Mrs. McKimpson and put them into the slideshow. Ryan Carballido put them in while Tom Hassiepen and I made the MLA citation page. Dan Antrim added music and helped find more pictures. I feel at first our group was slightly inefficient, but as time went on we began to work smoothly. Our group synergy as a whole improved greatly, and we became a well-oiled machine. Our final project is concise, well-timed, and informative. Our group is very versatile, and I would like to work with them in the future.

Extra Credit Song Project

For this project we had the option to or to not not do it. If we were finished with our storyboard one, we could do this for extra points. I chose to do the song Float on by the Indie band Modest Mouse. First, I found pictures of the song's lyrics to follow the words. Then, I put them in a slideshow through Microsoft Powerpoint. I then dragged this into iMovie. Then I threaded the song into the slide show. The most difficult part of this job was the timing. The program would try and compensate time taken or added into a different part of the presentation, effectively throwing off the timing. However, I finally got it and am very pleased with the result.

Podcast

This project involved us making a podcast. We first picked a movie. I picked the film Zombieland. Other movies were Finding Nemo, The Shawshank Redemption, The Hangover, The Notebook, The Lord of The Rings, Mulan, and many others. Then we found pictures about the movie or from it and put it in a folder using iPhoto. The we dragged that into Garageband. In Garageband, we recorded ourselves narrating an overview of the plot with naming all the major parts. Then we added that and the pictures together. We also put a song playing throughout the podcast and added different sound effects and jingles.
