Complications

I think I just finished a rough draft of my media production for Major Assignment 3. Why do I say "think?" well, I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing and stuff that needs to be changed still. All I know is that I faced a few challenges, and I managed to overcome them. And now I'm addressing them here!

1. I chose to use iMovie to create a short video of who the Millennials are and what media has affected them and how it has affected them. Let's just say that iMovie is vastly different from what it used to be, oh 5 years ago. I had to use my computer and technology knowledge to explore the new set up. This provided challenges in itself.

• The timeline for iMovie hardly exists anymore. Now it seems like a continuous stream of movie, transition, and music all in one:

• That leads me to problem 2. The audio in this new iMovie is significantly more difficult to work with. Instead of being able to cut and arrange audio right in iMovie itself, I had to work between Garageband AND iMovie. This was a great source of frusteration. But I managed. Thank you, silly middle school years full of goofing around with Macs.

2. Garageband is also vastly different. Took me quite a bit of exploring around the new Garageband as well. More frusteration. But yet again, I managed, and finished my "rough draft," if you will.


I made sure to pay attention to the copyright laws, too. I credited each photo used and each song used. I even stuck to the time limit of all but one song. So I should be ok.

I forgot how much I love making movies and producing media like this. 2+ hours just flew by, and let's just say I'd much rather keep putting movies and songs together than study for Statistics. But hey, we can't have it all. And with that, time to get crackin' on that math. Guess that's another reason why I'm an STC major and not an engineer!
