Self+Reflection

= SELF REFLECTION = //Copy these questions to your portfolio.//

Did you change your topic during this process? No, my topic was pretty consistent throughout the project.
 * Prior to sharing your final presentation, take a moment to answer these questions in your portfolio:**

Were you able to find information on your topic that was helpful to your understanding of the subject? Yes, through my research, I found helpful information on topics like iMovie and musique concrete.

Where you able to stretch yourself to learn more on the topic or did you find that you relied only on what you already knew on the topic? Be specific.

I learned much more about the topic. I learned more about iMovie and musique concrete through research. I also learned more about audio/video editing in general through my work during this project. In addition, I learned more about sampling with the "Ron Paul pads".

In what way have you grown intellectually as a result of this project? I learned much more about aspects of electronic music and video editing (see above for details).

How would you approach the process differently if you had another opportunity to learn in this manner? First of all, I would have started creating a "bank" of audio immediately rather than spending time trying to create tracks without a bank. I also would have done most of the volume adjustments at the end rather than throughout the whole project because I repetely had to change volume and compression relative to any new tracks that I added.

What was the greatest benefit of your learning experience? The greatest benefit was acquiring a greater understanding about electronic music, logic editing, and video editing through research and the doing project itself. I learned many new aspects of editing such as editing with iMovie, sampling, and creating a "bank" with musique concrete.
