hellow

Finally this project finished. I didn't know well about imovie but now I learned it and it's fun. But it was not easy one because it was completely new one for us and we should learn each technical skill so it was pretty tough but I like it. After watching other group's movies, wow they were amazing. There were so pretty good work. From evaluationg other people's work, I learned a lot. This project was very impressive.

Our IMovie

Hey Everyone!
I am extremely pleased with the result of our imovie, along with all of the other imovies in our class. Great Job everyone! I just wanted to say that I still cannot believe what the finished product looks like, it is so cool to know that we created our own movies. My group members and I worked really hard and I am very proud of our finished product! Thanks Liberty, Gary, and Hassan, I couldn't have done it without you all! It would have been helpful to have a real peer review and our movies would have been even better, but they still turned out awesome. This was a extremely beneficial project we did and Im so happy with it!
Everyone did great and I can't wait to see what Carrie's class put together!

About our gourp's project

Even though our group has no interview, we do have enough wonderful pictures and text to show our thesis. We took some pictures by ourselves: the empty playground, the classroom, the books about ADHD..We focus on selecting pictures and how to arrange the pictures. Our imovie is easy to understand. We use one song throughout the movie to make our movie fluent, and the music is so fitable. I'm satisfied with our group's project.

What do you think about your group's project?

After we exported the projects today, are you satisfied with your group's project? Do you think it went great? Have you had any obstacle? Did you have enough time to work on the project? Did you enjoy working with your group on the project?

I am very happy with our movie. I cannot believe that we created a movie. I think that if we had more time, the movie would be better. My group members helped a lot when we were putting the movie together. Their ideas and suggestions were helpful. I enjoyed working with them. Thank you all!!

Imovie expercience

I liked taking my paper and turning it into a digital movie. Its fun and a good way to let your reader know what your paper is about. I hope to do this project again one day, and I enjoyed the expericence with this digital movie project and looking foward in doing it again.

My Personal Experience

This imovie project was kind of over wheleming to me personally. It started off fine but I think once we started working on it more than what we were, my frustration started to show. I enjoyed working with my gropu it was just the project overall was a lot when we got done to the filming and editing and adding stuff. I did learn A LOT with doing this project though. I wouldnt be mad if I didnt have another project like this for a while lol but I did enjoy it.

Almost Done!

Doing this imovie was a very interesting and exciting project. My group didnt have much trouble with it once we understood completely what we were doing and how to work the imovie. You could tell we were kind of getting frustrated but we still had to maintain sanitiy if we wanted our project to be great! I cant wait til we can show this project to our other friends and family to show them something new we learned how to do besides reading and writing.........

Our project

On wednesday our group interviewed one of our member's friend

but after we interviewed we had trobled with volume but i figured out

and than we had problem with import into computer.

It didn't work so we have to have another interview.

it was tough week.

Tons of Problems!!

During these two weeks, we have problems in many issues:

1- When we video-typed by our camera, we could not upload the file to imovie.
2-We created a part of the movie by a flash player. Unfortunately, imovie did not accept the formate of our file, so we were not able to upload the file.
3-One of the video clips did work well! The imovie only runs the sounds of the file without its picture.
4-Today, the writing center closed at 2 p.m., so we could not work for a long period to finish up our project.

As you read, we have a lot of difficulties, so I wish if you will be able to finish it by Monday which is almost impossible!

Our group

Hello guys.
I think most people done their projects. That's great! We also almost done our project, but when
we went to Bessey Hall today, we couldn't do much because Bessey Hall closed at 2:10. Anyway, we tried to find another way and then finally found the solution. Thanks to a student from other class, we knew that there is some computers to use for weekends. Hopefully, we'll finish our project well like other groups.

Done

Our group has finished our movie, Thank God. It has been a nerve recking, only because we had such a short time to get the movies done. We didn't get the video cameras till a week after we were supposed to.

Done

We are finally done with the iMovie, and I can now stop obsessing about this project. We still have to do the movie poster, but I really dont want to think about that right now.

Final week!!

Hello. It's Boram.
It was so nice to see other group's imovie. I was also impressed by nice movies.
By peer review, it kind of help me to think about how our movie can be changed; what should be changed, what to be added, and what had been done well for our movie.
Let's see you on Thursday with the final movie.
I'm excited to see all the finished movie!!
Good Luck to Everyone~!

MSU Union?

This is Brittney and i just wanted everyone to know that if you don't have a mac and you need more time to work on your movie, MSU Union computer lab has mac computer with the imovie program. I just wanted to inform the ones who didn't know.

Hi everyone!!

Hi, this Brittney and I was wondering if anyone knew where and how could I get music videos save on to my computer, so that I save it to my USB cord to put in our movie. If anyone no could you please let me know I would really appreciate it.

This week

Luckily, we have done most of the shooting last week, this week was basicly easier than last one.
The thing I don't really like was the flyer~we could simply print one for each group~~that would be much cheaper~however, we are doing this project with 0 budget~If we print 50 color copies in the Lib~that will be $0.5 for each page. and the total will be $25. some group may have more than one page flyer~goddess~
Sorry, just some little complaining~^_^

Our movie is almost done

Our movie is almost done this afternoon, we added the music and text.
I felt our movie became much better after we added the music.
This project is really fun, I knew little about imovie before, but now I wanna have an apple laptop to do more imovies after this project!

Tough..

I am enjoying creating my partner and I movie..however,
it is tough to check in and out every single day and the time, at 9 am, when I must return it.
when I am late to return, then one of staffs call me and say "you need to return."
I know I need to return but I have a class during that time..
and it is hard for me (I think everyone) to wake up before 9 a.m and return it.
My partner and I are done with using the video camera..so there is no worry now.

Chenee' Turner

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed creating my imovie. When I got the jist of things it was so easy to prepare the clips ass music and also easy to do voice overs.I believe that working with the macs was also a great experience, because now I can work a mac and also a pc. Although my group and I were going through some technical difficulties we still pulled it together in the end. Some advice for the future would be that if you have any files that you would like to make apart of your imovie you probably will have to convert them first. So its always safe to bring a junk drive so that some one who knows how to convert the pictures or clip art can do so successfully!!..Also please dont export your movies because they will not be able to be worked on any more!!!! See you guys later

My Group's imovie

My group is presenting our rough draft imovie today because we did not get a chance to go yesterday. Hopefully we get really good feedback from peer review to help us make our project better. I can't wait until we present our final project I think it will be great. The Writing Center yesterday was so much fun, it seems like all the groups are working really hard. Everybody imovies are really coming along really well keep the good work up guys.

Watch movies

Yesterday we watched some of our classmates' movies. They are good, some of them are well organized, some of them have good transitions, and some of them are really interesting. Our group also finished our rough draft. Since this is the rough draft, so many groups not finished yet, and our group also have not finish yet. I really hope to see the finally movie. I believe they must be wonderful.

Our Movie

We finished most of our interviews this week, and have started on filming out movie. The program that should be used for imovie is only found in Mac computers. We tried to find other places except writing center for Mac computer for us to work on our movie. We have no luck trying to find other place, so we decided to use the computers in writing center. In order to cooperate with my group mates’ time, we have very little time for the movie because writing center closes at 5pm. Despite all the obstacles we encountered, we still manage to finish our rough draft. We just need to add the other interview information to be done with the project. Everything is on track as of today, and I am already excited to see the final product!!

iMovie

I installed the newest version of OS for mac which was OS X leopard on my desktop.
But the iMovie it had was different from those at the writing center.
I couldn't load the project on my computer since they had the different versions.
I hope it helps for ohter mac users.

Our movie is almost done

So far, we are almost done with our project. Actually, I am surprised because of the work that we had done. Personally, when I received the handout for the project, I was worry because it seemed to be too difficult. I did not expect that we will be able to create a movie about the research’s argument. BUT, putting the movie together with my group is really fun, easy, and interesting. I learned a lot about imovie and how to argue by using media. I hope all of you have the same feeling.
