1. Upload your movie to your blog. [If you have trouble with this, check to see that you exported it in the correct format. You can also upload it to YouTube and embed it into your posting to save time.]
2. A) Identify your chosen musical genre & B) say why you chose it.
I chose Celtic Rock/Punk because I knew one or two artists and my first couple choices were taken.
3. Describe your process...how did you go about finding your songs and information?
I looked up the bands I knew on Wikipedia and then searched "Celtic Rock Bands" and I got a large list of bands.
4. What different kinds of technology did you use to compile your project? [Web tools, Mac tools, etc...]
I used Google and Wikipedia, Garage Band and iMovie, and YouTube and Zamzar.
5. What are you good at...what went well for you in this project?
I think iMovie went well because I've experimented with it before so I already knew what I was doing.
6. With what did you struggle on this project...what was difficult for you?
The hardest part of the project was just getting to work on it. I kept getting distracted so I wasn't getting as much work done as quickly.

7. Did you decide to use still slides? Why or why not? [If not, how did you convey your information?
I did not use still slides because I liked the samples Ms. Perino showed us that had a lot of movie clips in it. I also liked how even when it was a picture, it was still moving with the ken burns effect.
8. For what other classes, situations, uses could this type of project be adapted?
This project could be used for any class that you have to make a movie/presentation in. You could record your voice and mix music in the background and then put it in iMovie to play in the background of your information.
9. What new techniques or technology tools did you use in this project that you've never used before? Be specific.
I used garageband for the first time but found out it really isn't too hard or different from other programs like iMovie.
10. 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, etc., but how did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?
I got movie and audio files and merged them together to form a completly different thing. I also photoshopped some of my images to make them a little different and more compatible.
Yes, I actually already did but without the movie part. I had several songs by one artist and thought it would be cool to merge them and make one really long song.
