Imovie

This week was my first time using imovie and I was surprised how easy and fun it was. I have had my mac computer since June, but I had yet to use this program. I guess that I thought it would be extremely hard to use but to my surprise it was not. My group and I decided to do our project on teen dramas and why people watch them. I personally find this topic extremely interesting because I love and watch these shows religiously. I can't really explain why I love to watch Gossip Girl, The Hills, and The City; I certainly can't relate to their lifestyle. I'm sure that a part of me is envious in ways and love to escape into this dream world. I am also fascinated by the fashion.

We just finished our movie and since I was the only person with a mac I mainly put the movie together. What I thought would take me hours to do, took me an hour at most. Imovie made it so easy to add songs and transitions and cut down the film to fit perfectly into the movie. So far this is my favorite program on my mac and I can definitely see myself using it in the future. It is an amazing tool for the classroom and a great way to teach students. I also think that students would greatly enjoy using this program themselves and it should be taught it school. I felt as if it was a new and improved powerpoint. I really enjoyed making this project!!!
