imovie Process

So I've created my first imovie! Yay! I've done work with movie making in middle school, but I've never used the imovie application, and I guess filming and piecing together a commercial in 8th grade doesn't quite compare to this project. I feel like my group did a great job with the assignment, but I think it might have been due to some extra help that we received in the process. We did have a local high school student help us put together the project. I heard from a few of my friends that we had an unfair advantage, but in my mind, we just took advantage of available resources. I don't consider it cheating, or cutting corners. I'm confident that if we had to, we would have been able to do just as good of a job without help. The high school student just helped us do it more efficiently. We were all there when he worked on it with us, so we were actively involved in the process, and I know I definitely learned from it. All the decisions were made by us, so our project was definitely all ours. The process was relatively easy once we got our ideas down. We had the hardest time just trying to decide what should be in our presentation. I always think that group projects are so much more difficult that individual or even partner projects. To be able to coordinate 7 people was nearly impossible and to be able to collaborate and come up with ideas together was also very challenging. I always feel like dividing the work between several people is the worst part of group project. We managed to do it, but it was somewhat difficult. In the end, it came together, we made our video, and we were pleased with the results. I was so relieved when it was over, but I'm glad we did it, and now I feel like I might be able to pull it off if I had to do a similar assignment in the future.
