1. imovie is very easy compared to any other program I've used in other classes. In iMovie there are presets available that you can choose from once you import your photos or videos into your project. You don't have to and have the option to make your own theme for your videos or photos to follow.
Titles, transitions and music can be added to your movies. It is very easy to add these things, just have to press a button or two off of the tool bar that is given. An all you have to really do is add the photos you want in the order you want into the timeline and they work together to play.
2. I already new how to create a new project, simply from just looking and guessing
3.I learned that iMovie was very easy and pretty cool, i thought it was pretty lame and didn't have very many options to what you can do but it does and its easy to do unlike after effects.
4. im concerned about the topic i will be taking pictures of, I'm not sure at all of what to do but i think i might have an idea that may work.
5.I am confident that i can finish this, thought the final would be harder and boring
6. im unsure, maybe something to do with spray painting or a room slowly getting dirty

Portfolio analysis - how judges pick winning portfolios and sports photos (DNF)
Name; Alyssa Schukar
General Focus; PhotoJ/sports
Three Problems;
-eating disorder story could've been better, common
-all pictures were at the same the same, they seemed to be at certain distances with the same lens, no feeling
-some photos like the uncle sam hat one brings down the collection
Three things they liked;
-They liked the background of the man sweeping the trash
-Girl that fell over photo with her opponents legs showing
Overall; I see a dark group of photos but some photos just seem random and bring down the group of photos. I didn't like the first couple photos, they got boring. I liked the photos with limited lighting like the stairway one or the one of the men in the street.
Name; Travis Haughton
General Focus; starts as a photoj story then moves into multiple sports photos and some random photos
Three Problems;
-Since the photos are blown up the quality isn't that great
- Some photos need captions because there isn't enough info in the photo to know what is going on
- the photos are too tight, which made mergers, and are cropping out some things that can add to the photo and make it better
Two things they liked;
-The lighting in photos were on point but the idea of those photos didn't add to what the photographer was trying to say
-The amount of background in some pictures brought more to the photo which made them like it.
Overall : I really liked this portfolio. Some images didn't mean anything and seemed very random but there was a run on of kids in this portfolio
