Music Genome

1. Upload your movie to your blog. [If you have trouble with this, check to see that you exported it in the correct format. You can also upload it to YouTube and embed it into your posting to save time.]



2. A) Identify your chosen musical genre & B) say why you chose it.
I chose Bluegrass, because it's a unique music style that would be easier to find information on.

3. Describe your process...how did you go about finding your songs and information?
I found all of my songs and information on the Internet.

4. What different kinds of technology did you use to compile your project? [Web tools, Mac tools, etc...]
I finished this project in iMovie.  I used transitions and different ways the words come in. 

5. What are you good at...what went well for you in this project?
The easiest part was putting the music on my presentation.

6. With what did you struggle on this project...what was difficult for you?
What I struggled the most with was inserting my video.
7. Did you decide to use still slides? Why or why not?  [If not, how did you convey your information?
I decided to use still slides, because they were easy to find (but I put one video in there).
8. For what other classes, situations, uses could this type of project be adapted?  
I could use this type of project to show people how important music is.

9. What new techniques or technology tools did you use in this project that you've never used before?  Be specific.
I learned how to use iMovie, and to add transitions and music.

10. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976?[...not just that you cited the information, etc., but how did you transform the music, information, images, etc.?
I borrowed all of my images from Google and I got my information from different websites.  I changed the images by putting different ways of word entrances on them.

11. Would you do another project like this on your own? Why? Why not? 
I don't know if I would like to do another project like this on my own.
