ALL DONE!

This was pretty hard for me to start. I first could not find my topic and when I did it was just something I settled with. I first started just looking at pictures on line. Then I decided to start writing and fill in with pictures. The fact I was in a classroom helped becasue if I could not find the pictures I wanted I would take them of my class. Then as I worked on my paper and putting my pictures in order I started adding to my paper. I had a longer movie made but I noticed that it was beginning to say things over and over and then it was just not making sense. Therefore I shortened it. I hope that it is long enough. I also could not find any music I wanted to play so therefore I decided not to play any music. I have to admit this was a fun way of writing. I have never done anything like this and was excited at the chance to do this. Since we are your guinea pigs for this project I think that this should be passed on through semesters to other students. I actually told my cooperating teacher about this project and she wants to make a little movie out of all the kids fields trips from this year. I told her I would be more that happy to put this together. Their are a couple of kids that I think I am going to have record their voice from essays they have written about what they liked about a particular field trip. My audience for my movie is aimed at anyone. Anyone that feels like they have no idea what they want to do after college. All of the difficult things for me was my own error. For isntance instead of finishing my movie I kept trying to move the file from my zip drive to my cd. This was just my mistake becasue after wasting three cds I then looked where it said finish movie, and save movie to a CD. So that was my error. I liked how we in class went over how to use movie maker. This helped a ton.

I completely agree with you that it was difficult getting started. It was definitely a process for me to figure out what I wanted to do. It's cool that you're going to help make another movie. Good Luck!
