Ashley's+IMovie


 * Introduction**: This project offered a new experience for me because I have never made an imovie that required more than a couple splits. This video is basically made up of clips that are a couple seconds each so a lot of splitting and rearranging was in order. Before making this movie I never was able to use a middle portion of a song before, I had always put in the entire song. This movie is made for a classroom for students to learn about emtions, more specifically; happy, sad, mad, and excited. Usually children are shown pictures of staged faces but rarely get diversity of different people expressing the same emotion in their unique ways. This offers a more 'life-like' look into these expressions. By also having the same people answer what triggers these certain emotions, the students will begin to grasp the concept that a variety of situations can cause a certain emotion. As a bonus, music is added to each emotion to give the students a more 'complete' feeling. Music is very influential with emotions (just look at Hollywood movie soundtracks) and many people often express their feelings through music so having these songs is very appropriate. As far as things that are not appropriate (like the humor with 'jumping' and the death-metal song for mad) these were put in to entertain the intended students (our EDUC 2040 class). If this movie was actually meant for youngins, we would have made different decisions. Taking the idea of this video, I think this is a very good opportunity for the students to star in their own class movie. Each child could make their face and answer their questions. This would be a great way for the students to get to know their classmates and for the teacher to get to know each student's personality.
