final preview

1. i learned how to edit, cut, and jump to different clips using iMovie. i also learned the extent to which you can edit the clips even though iMovie is an extremely basic editing program. theres so much potential with using iMovie even though it isn't the most advanced.
2. iMovie allows you to make edits to the quality of the video as well as the content, or what you want in it or what you don't
3. i didn't know the extent of how much editing is capable through iMovie
4. i'm concerned that i won't be capable of utilizing iMovie because i'm inexperienced so my final product might not reflect my potential
5. i'm confident i'll be able to shoot all the shots/photos i'll need early
6. i want to do a "documentation" of my friends' new band

3. 2
4. All newspapers put their biggest stories on the cover to draw people in, you can tell which story is the lead story bc of the bolding and size of the headline
5. on this newspaper the stories are written up and down rather than left to right or right to left depending on the language. There are also few dominant pictures compared to any other newspaper from any other country.

welcome back

i like this photo because its a great representation of juxtaposition, or the unexpected in a common area. i find it both cute and amusing

i like this photo mainly because the caption stated that this woman as standing up for her beliefs as a feminist and was willing to go to great lengths to uphold her moral values and beliefs.

this is also one of my favorites because it illustrates how vast natural disasters can be and how some of the most beautiful things are the most devastating.
