Professor Angela Davis

Reflection of 1960's and 1970's - Professor Angela Davis

Professor Angela Davis is a beacon light of endurance and change.  She defended her rights as a citizen alleged as being guilty by association.  Labelled as a willing participant in the murder of a judge in Marin County, California that left several people dead.

What is the price of freedom?

BP13_I-Photo

Apple Support provides a short tutorial at the beginning of each I-photo session.  The video gives an overview on how to use the program.  The video tutorial gives users guidance on how to create a project using I-Photo.

I-Photo has a great database to store pictures.  My photo database is large.  I need to organize the photos by events.  This will allow easier access to the pictures that will be selected for the project.

Lynda.com tutorials are available to teach you how to use the I-Photo program correctly.

Practice, Practice, Practice!

BP#12_I-Movie

I am watching I-Movie tutorials in the Lynda.com website.  Each time I go through the lessons, new techniques are learned, and  improves the creation of my movie.  I learned how important it is to place pictures in the events folder.  When I am ready to select photos the folder is available.  I can drag it into the screen.

I realized in reading voiceovers that I need to read aloud more.  Reading allow gives me the ability to hear my diction.  Reading aloud daily will improve my voice over presentation before recording.

 There are other techniques that I am working on to improve.  Adjusting clips, videos and cropping are techniques that I need to develop more.

Practice, Practice, Practice
