1. Upload your movie to your blog or embed it from YouTube.


A. To what degree did you work toward team goals? (Please explain your answer) 
Superior, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Needs Improvement
I think my work effort would be classified as excellent because I put together most of the movie.
B. What specific tasks and duties did you perform as a member of this team?
I helped write the script and I put together our movie.

C. To what degree did you offer your gifts, talents, and time as a member of the team? 
(Please explain your answer)
Superior, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Needs Improvement
I think I was excellent for offering my gifts, talents, and time to the team because I used a lot of my talent in iMovie and in computers in general well but I don't think I put out as much time as I could have.

D. To what degree did you take action as a member of the team?
(Please explain your answer)
Leader, Very Active, Somewhat Active, Had to Be Told What to Do
I think that I would be considered Very Active because I did everything I was told and helped move the project along but I think Anthony Deceanne was probably the teams biggest leader because he was always staying on top of things.

E. What makes you most proud about your movie and why?
I'm proud because its got different elements in it that make it unique, such as part of it where we rewound a clip so it would take up more time and when we used picture on picture.
F. If you were going to make any changes to your movie, what would they be
?
If I could make any changes I would rerecord some parts with my voice. I didn't like how they sounded in the end product. :/

1. Upload your slideshow as a movie to your blog posting. [If you have trouble with this, check to see that you exported it in the correct format. If it is still too big, re-export in a smaller format. You may also choose to upload it to YouTube and embed it on your blog.]
 

2. What tools and techniques did you use to create your podcast?
I used garage band to create my podcast and I got my pictures from the Blues Brothers DVD and my music from YouTube.
3.  How could you use a project like this in other classes?
If I need to make a summary of an event in history or something similar, I could make a podcast of it.

4.  In the “real world,” how could podcast projects be used (In what careers/businesses, etc.)?
Podcasts could be used to present something at a meeting or if you were the owner of a business and needed to send a memo around to your staff, you could put it into a podcast and send it to them in an email. 

5.  In this project, what did you get good at doing?
During this project I learned ways to get around DVD protections. When I played the Blues Brothers DVD in DVD Player, it wouldn't let me take screenshots because it was protected. I then found out that I can play it in VLC, a different media player, and I can take screenshots in it.
6. What was the most difficult part of the assignment?
The most difficult part of this project was matching my voice and pictures together.

7. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976?
[...not just that you cited the information - citing is not enough...tell me how you transformed what you've taken into something new, etc., How did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?
I took a video from YouTube and just used some of the audio from it. I also got a couple pictures from Google and photo shopped them to make them more compatible.

8.  Would you do a project like this on your own? 
I don't think I would have thought to do it before but now that I know how I think it might be fun to try sometime.

9. If you were going to make any changes/improvements on your podcast what would it/they be?  ...and why?
I would make it longer and rerecord some parts mostly because I thought it ran a little short and I didn't like how my voice sounded in some places.
