Music Genome Reflection

1)










2. A) Identify your chosen musical genre & B) say why you chose it.
My Music genre was pop. I chose it cause I wanted to know what made pop pop and its what I mostly listen too!



3. Describe your process...how did you go about finding your songs and information?
i just went through my itunes and saw who was under the pop genre. I also looked through Billboard top 50's from different years.



4. What different kinds of technology did you use to compile your project? [Web tools, Mac tools, etc...]I used all Mac tools.



5. What are you good at...what went well for you in this project?
Cutting music, and i really enjoyed it.



6. With what did you struggle on this project...what was difficult for you?
Timing everything from garageband and iMovie.
7. Did you decide to use still slides? Why or why not?  [If not, how did you convey your information? i used still slides in the beginning because there weren't many videos for Nat King Cole. Videos I felt had more impact and you really feel how people react to the music.
8. For what other classes, situations, uses could this type of project be adapted?  
I could use the skills I used in Garageband to make presentations for fun to watch.

9. What new techniques or technology tools did you use in this project that you've never used before?  Be specific.
I used how to mix songs and overlap tracks in Garageband!



10. How did your project use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976?[...not just that you cited the information, etc., but how did you transform the music, information, images, etc.? 
I made a new song made with different songs, i also cropped photos and cut videos!


11. Would you do another project like this on your own? Why? Why not? 
Maybe not so much with the history and pictures, but i really enjoyed cutting music. I would like to go more advanced with mixing music!
