**__Introduction__**
This page contains my storyboard. In this step of creating an iMovie, we mostly learnt about the effects and transitions etc. in the iMovie application. I thought it was really interesting because there were so many sound effects, transitions and even effects for words! It was really, really cool! I found creating my storyboard a bit hard though, because there were so many things that you had to put in. Most of the time, I didn't know what I was going to do (for effects or transitions on a slide) so I put "NONE" but I ended up deciding when I was on the "Create" step. This storyboard was also kind of fun to create because it was as if you were looking at the "baby" of your iMovie because it's kind of a small version of the finished product. You could also say that the storyboard was the "mother" of the iMovie because the whole iMovie depended on the storyboard.

__**ESLRs**__
In this part of the project I think I proved to be a/an:


 * Critical Thinker**, because I thought about what problems I might face in the iMovie, and according to that I made my storyboard. Another example would be that I put in what I thought might keep my audience's attention.


 * Effective Communicator**, because I showed what my iMovie was basically going to look like through Microsoft Word. Usually I would just draw a diagram to show it but this time it was different.


 * Self-Directed Learner**, because I found out by myself which transitions and effects there were. I explored through the application and decided most of what I was going to use in my iMovie.

__**Reflection**__


 * 1. How does this movie represent the things that make you happy?**

It represents things that make me happy, because whenever I’m sad, I remember to do these things. And whenever I do them, I don’t feel as sad anymore. For example, if I’m angry at my mom, I’ll sometimes go on MSN and talk to my friends, because they always make me feel better. That represents two things that are in my storyboard: friends and MSN.


 * 2. Why did you choose to put these pictures in this order?**

I chose to put them in this order, because it showed which things went together. For example, I put watching TV just before the clip where it shows that I love animals, because in the TV part, it shows cats watching TV. Also, I put singers after the part about iTunes and iPods because they all talk about music.


 * 3. How did you group your pictures? Why did you decide to group them this way?**

I grouped them by putting a title of what pictures the audience was going to see next. After that, I would put all the pictures that had to do with the title/topic. This would go on and on in the rest of my storyboard. For example, if I said that I like talking on the phone, it’ll have pictures showing people talking on the phone. I chose to make it this way, because it seemed more organized and clear.


 * 4. How do you plan to create a theme that runs consistently throughout your movie?**

I’ll do that by making most of my transitions the same. All of my transitions that are in the middle of the iMovie are going to be the same. For example, in the beginning I’ll have “radial.” Then the rest of it, I’ll have “fade in,” except for 3 clips which will have “push.” The end will just have “disintegrate.” Also, my titles are going to be the same font. When I think about it, it seems weird to me to have different fonts for titles everywhere. Then again, it’s only my opinion.


 * 5. How do the effects that you added help enhance your movie?**

They help enhance my movie because they make my movie more interesting to see. Instead of having it just plain the whole time, I added effects to make the movie more exiting and just //slightly// more dramatic. For example, by adding the sound effect of a bomb, the audience will suddenly be a bit shocked because it happened so suddenly. By adding effects, you’re more likely to catch your audience’s attention.


 * 6. Did you enjoy this part of the project? Why or why not?**

Well, so far it’s been the most fun part of the project because I find it exiting to see a “preview” of what my movie’s going to look like. It was also fun because I got to organize the whole clutter of pictures that I had stored on one word document. Not only that, but I also got to test out all of the transitions in the iMovie application which was really cool.


 * 7. What challenges will you face when you try to create your movie and how will you overcome them?**

One of the challenges that I will probably face is not getting my movie done in time since I have lots and lots of clips. I’ll just have to try and work fast and I’ll most probably have to work on the movie in my own time too. Another challenge will be (if I have time) to find more effects for my iMovie that aren’t in my storyboard, because I don’t have a lot of effects in my story board. I’ll just have to do that while I’m working on my iMovie.
