Student Government



  1. I took all the video footage and put the music and some of the slides in order to be played.
  2. I learned that each member of the group had something to contribute 
  3. getting all the footage, we knew what we wanted. 
  4. The timing for some reason on some of the slides over lapsed a little bit.
  5. It did because we didn't really know how to make our ideas from the slide into a movie so we changed direction a little bit.
  6. On the advanced features we could put words into the video and add background music.
  7. We could use it in speech to tell a story or to make a presentation.
  8. Well almost all the work was our on except for the one song we used and the interviews and we citied those properly 
  9. It would depend on the requirements of the project and what it was for.

Initial post.

The expectations i have for this class are easy.. to be able to use my mac with a better understanding and with more ease, like learning the the short cut keys and faster ways to things. Today has been pretty boring and slow, but a little interesting with the use of macs to school.
