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.
