My Life - Final Project


This was our final project for this trimester. I have chose 4 different song: first was Summer Hair = Forever Young by The Academy Is..., second was Yellow by Coldplay, third was The Mixed Tape by Jack's Mannequin, and finally I chose With You by Sum 41. I chose them because I wanted to mix some happy songs along with some slow songs. Finding information for 1994 was not hard, I just typed in the Google search place, because I use Google a lot, and found them. The search terms I used were "average price in 1994", "average price of bread in 1994" and more. I didn't find any unreliable sources. I didn't use any pictures that aren't mine. I used IMovie, Powerpoint, and Son of Citation Machine for this project. I think what I did well on it was putting the picture together along with the music. What I struggled on this was probably the information part, because it costed me some time to find them all. Yes, I did use a lot of still slides, and the reason for that is because they are easier to put in IMovie. But I also put in 2 videos of mine. The videos were recorded in Photobooth, then I just dragged them into Imovie. The theme I chose from the beginning was Photo album in IMovie, I chose that because there are a lot of pictures, and so I thought that would be appropriate. Overall, this project can also be used for all types of classes, especially presentation or speech. For the information part, even though I saw them online, I used my own words to put them together later. Finally, I would do another project like this on my own because it's fun, and it's very useful.
