Reflection on Autobiography Video

Reflection of work:

I thought this was an interesting assignment.  I was excited at the opportunity to learn how to use windows movie makes seeing as I had never used it.  I found the basis of the programs to be fairly simple and was pleased with the progress I made early in working on the assignment however I did hit some snags towards the end of it.

Fun Aspects:

As I said this project started out fun, I enjoyed going through pictures and video clips, so that was fun.  Also picking music was fun and writing the script wasn't bad either.  These task I found enjoyable and fun.

Difficulty:

As I continued with the project it became very difficult.  Adding the audio was probably the most difficult portion of making this video.  Every time I used the recording device it would freeze mt computer and I would lose my entire movie even after saving it.  So, I had to restart this project several times in order to get to the final project, and it became very frustrating. I think it must have been problems with compatibility of other software I have to use for my computer, in order to see it. I'm honestly glad to be done with it now.

Classroom Use:

I think this will be a great project later for my students to show their creativity and understanding of works of literature.  I think it would be fun for them to work in groups to make a movie or recreation of certain works that are harder for students to understand.  In being able to live it I think they will better understand the material.  I just would have to ensure that they would not get frustrated with it as I did in adding the audio.
