Katherine Flanagan Senior Project

Today I drove back from megs house for five hours. I sent Lindsey the final version of the slideshow as well. I came back to campus and went on a nice run on the rail trial. We did dorm clean up at 3:15 and I tried to tidy up a bit. At 6:30 Heidi asked the people who are doing concentrations to go to the library. I walked and talked with the freshman about their capstone projects. One more day to go! It has been a fun journey. Hours: 1 Total: 52

This week was very productive and enjoyable as well. To recap this week there was a lot of trial and error with the senior slideshow. At first, it was deleted, but miraculously the tech desk was able to revive it and I felt very lucky. Without them I would have to re-do the whole slide show which took me about 7 hours, between timing the photos and making sure the photos zoomed in correctly. Today I worked more on the senior slideshow because I made the photos 2.4 seconds instead of 2.5 to make the slideshow fit with the music. Each day, I would either work on my slideshow or I spent a lot of time on the reflection paper and final touch ups to my concentration research. I spent a lot of time talking with Lindsey about the project too, mainly in person. This week I learned a lot more about editing and video making in imovie and more of how to make the video look better and more professional just by playing around with it. I really enjoyed what I was working on. The reflection was inter...

Today was a good working day! I finished my reflection paper which took about 3 hours. I started that at 8:30 and I finished it at 11:30. I then went to lunch and I then did more work after. I texted with Lindsey today about logistics because we might have to adjust the photo timing. This weekend I am going to touch up on the timing of the photos so that the music will work better. I am excited to finish it finally after a lot of edits and changes. Lindsey has been a big help :) Hours: 4 Total: 50

Today was a great day, despite the rain! I started my reflection paper and I am now more than halfway done. I worked on that from 8:30-11:30. I then had some lunch and started working again at 12:45. Lindsey came into the library for us to talk about the slideshow. There was one mishap where I was trying to delete a song from the imovie and then the whole movie deleted. In a panick, Lindsey suggested that I bring it to tech. Thankfully he pressed a certain button and the whole project came back! That was very stressful but thankfully it has been saved and soon to be sent to Lindsey. Today I worked on that from 12:45-2:30 and shuffled the photos around and made it aesthetically pleasing. Tommorow I will finish my reflection and the movie will be sent to Lindsey :) I am very excited about the progress made today. Hours: 5 hours Total hours: 46

Today was a very productive day. I of course started my morning with breakfast and went to the library at around 9. My goal today was the finish the slideshow, so I set out to do that. I stayed in the library till 11:30 working on it. I was able to compile all of the photos into an imovie. I had to adjust each photo and trim the time for each photo. The hardest part was making sure that the photo zoomed in on the senior and not the other people in the photo. I don't have itunes so I decided to hold my phone up to the computer and play music for the slideshow through that. That ended up not really working out because the music sounded muffled and not high quality. I talked to Lindsey and we are going to figure that out tommorow. But, finally the hard part is done! And I am very excited. Tonight at 5:30pm I had tutoring and that was really fun tonight. Amhiya was very motivated and excited to learn, as always, and she really improved her skills with improper fractions which was a har...

I started off my day with blue bird and a coffee. I started my work at 8:30 and stopped working at 2:30. That was 6 hours. I then worked from 7:30 to 9:00 and that was an hour an a half. I spent a total of 7.5 hours today between my concentration and senior slideshow. Kristen gave me edits and I made edits to my essay, which was very helpful. I added in solutions and other tips she gave me. At 9:00 tonight I finished the senior slide show/collecting all the photos. I am very happy I finished that because now I need to just focus on the actual making of the video and songs. My concentration paper is pretty much almost ready to go as well. Hours today: 7.5 total: 37.5
