Music Genome Project





A) Identify your chosen musical genre
Folk Rock


B) say why you chose it.
I chose Folk Rock because it was the genre of one of my favorite bands and the music is very relaxing.


Describe how you went about finding your songs and information. 
I searched for Folk Rock songs on Google and my mom helped me in finding some other songs that were Folk Rock my information also came from Google searches.

What different kinds of technology did you use to compile your project? [Web tools, Mac tools, etc...]
I first mixed my song in Garageband then I brought the song into iMovie and added all my information.

What are you good at...what went well for you in this project?
I feel like my song had great transitions from one song to the next.


With what did you struggle on this project...what was difficult for you?
Finding information about Folk Rock.


Did you decide to use still slides? Why or why not?  [If not, how did you convey your information?
I used the titles in iMovie mainly. I thought that the less text there was the easier it would b for people to watch.

For what other classes, situations, uses could this type of project be adapted? 
It  could be used in like a history class for example the history of a famous king.

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 used ZamZar to get my songs for educational purposes which is not against the Copyright Law of 1976.

Would you do another project like this on your own? Why? Why not?
Yes, I make these kinds of videos for friends, weddings, and talent shows.

ND Culture

Driver's Education
I recorded and edited the video.
I learned some advanced features as the project manager.
Our opening was almost near perfection.
Our interview was probably the hardest thing because it was last minute.
I transferred basically the powerpoint into the movie.
I learned how to use advanced features like green screen and picture in picture.
We can use things for a films class or  advanced technology applications.
I used Zamzar too get music for educational purposes.
I have already used iMovie many times and will continue to use it.
