Final Exam Preview Activity

1.) Summarize what you watched and read about - let's say 2-3 paragraphs of 3-4 sentences

    I began with learning how to open the application, you do this by searching the application after clicking the magnifying glass in the upper righthand corner. To begin the editing process you choose a new file, or you begin a new project by pressing cmd+N. Then you name your project than begin the basic properties of your iMovie video.

    You can then select the aspect ratios or the screen dimensions of the video. There is the wide screen display (16:9), a standard display (4:3), or a display especially suited for an iPhone (3:2). If compatibility with the familiar SDTV (standard definition TV) format is important, choose the standard (4:3) ratio. Next you choose the appropriate frame rate for the project. The default frame is 30 fps. Using a slower frame rate can help to be supported in international video standards.

    After editing, you can choose a theme that is best suited for your project. By selecting this theme, iMovie automatically fills in transitions and titles that apply to that theme. However, if you want to add your own transitions and title by manually deselecting these unwanted titles and transitions. There is also an option to create movie trailers in the iMovie application.

2.) Tell me one thing that you already knew about iMovie that the website explained

I already knew that you could select themes and has the ability to manually apply titles and transitions.

3.) Tell me one thing that you learned new today that you didn’t know before.

I did not know that you could choose the format and screen dimensions for the movie.

4.) What are you concerned about with this final project?

The concept of cutting and creating a good flow in the video.

5.) What are you confident you can complete early and have ready to use?

I know that the pictures and the video won't be an issue, but I just have to come up with a successful idea that I will enjoy shooting.

6.) If I asked you today, what do you think you will do for your video?

I honestly am still brainstorming what I would like to do.

Opinion Story

   In 2017, there have been many positive changes taken to support the LGBT community. A recent and heart breaking issue has come into the light recently. Many transgender men and women are feeling threatened and unsafe when deciding what bathroom they should go in. This issue being brought up in social media has uncovered a disgusting reaction from people who claim that the transgender community has alternative motives than just using a bathroom.

   In Texas a transgender bathroom bill has come to reach the senate. This bill was created to restrict transgender people's access to public bathrooms, which is just another thing to add to the emotional struggle of transitioning. Conservative Americans have now pushed the line farther than they ever should have. Americans are now yet again found targeting a minority group.

   The transgender society has been abandoned by all people who disagree with their decision to do something to their body, why should we add more to their life of struggle and pain? What a person identifies as should not restrict them from being able to use a bathroom. What are they supposed to do? Public urination? They are humans, not animals.

   The obscene argument that conservatives have is that transgender people have transitioned just for the intention to rape or sexually assault women in public bathrooms. Transitioning takes thousands of dollars in plastic surgery, voice and emotional therapy, and hormones. Why would someone spend that much money, time, and emotional strain to target women in public bathrooms?

   It is clinically proven that people who transition do not identify as the gender they were born with and just want to be accepted by society as the gender they want to identify with, and don't have other malicious motives. Even if someone who was transgender was caught in a situation like inflicting sexual assault, why should the entire transgender community be blamed for one person's actions. That is exactly like saying because one black man killed someone, every single black man in the world should be seen as a murderer.

   The only way to resolve this hate and bigotry is to become more open minded and to support those who are different from you. The United States is full of so many beautiful people and cultures from all around the world, and our diversity should be celebrated and supported as a united nation. Bigotry and selfishness has become the most prominent issues in this petty argument. People the LGBT community need to be supported politically and socially, if they are not politically involved then how is it possible for the transgender community to be fighting this injustice towards them?

   As an American woman, I do not feel threatened by any transgender person that I may encounter in or out of a public bathroom. Any woman should be welcome to feel safe and comfortable in any space they are in, but in order to do that, this unwelcoming society needs an alternative motive; to fight the hate they have caused to women who are stronger than any other.
