I had 2 different pieces of music in my movie, one for the introduction and one for the rest of the movie.B) Tell us what songs you used

For the beginning, I used the song "300 Violin Orchestra" by Jorge Quintero, and for the body of the movie, I used the song "More" by Usher.
C) Why you chose the different pieces

I chose the beginning song because it gave an epic feeling that something great was about to happen. I used the song "More," because it had a very fast beat and didn't drag in any places. It mad the movie interesting and fun.
3. Describe how you went about finding your information, pictures, and songs:
A) What kinds of search terms/phrases did you use? (Give some examples.)

At the very beginning, I simply typed in "1996," and got a lot of information on the fashion and costs. I used IMDb to find out all of the Academy Awards that were given.

I use Google the most, and on occasion I use Yahoo.

A) Did you decide to use still slides? 

I used still slides, but every slide had a lot of cool movement effects, so it pretty much looked like movie footage.
B) Why or why not?  [If not, how did you convey your information?]

I used still slides because it gave the coolest effect, and even though it took longer to record it still was worth it.
C) Did you use a consistent theme throughout your movie?

For every topic, I would use the same font and transitions. But whenever it would change to a new topic, there would be completely different fonts, colors and transition effects.

My team's topic was PND football.

2. Describe your role on the team.

My role on the team was: I asked questions on one of the interviews, I got interviewed, I acted in the introduction and concluding scenes, and I typed most of the storyboard.

3. What did you learn from being a part of this team?

I learned how to make a video on imovie, and I learned that it is easier to plan a video on a storyboard than if I just started filming.

We were very successful in the interview portion of the video, because it explained what PND football is all about.

5. What did not go well for you as a team?

SOme questions were left unanswered in the video, because we had to cut down the video so it wasn't too long.

6. Describe the process from storyboarding through the movie creation. Did ideas/concepts/focus change from one kind of technology to the other? If so, how? 

We brainstormed first, and put it into a storyboard. We were able to follow the storyboard pretty well, occasionally adding in little details that would bring the audience in. We used Photo Booth to film the interviews, then put them into imovie. From there, we tied everything together into one movie.

plain why they should work with it.
