Assignment:

Select scenes from 3-5 movies. These scenes should represent scenes that changed your life or made some sort of dramatic, traumatic, lasting, or emotional impact on you. When you have selected those scenes, create a video that shows the scenes and includes audio/video of you describing what it is about the scene that made a significant impact on you, what you are fond of about the scenes, what scares you, what you remember thinking when you were a child, etc. Feel free to be liberal in your interpretation of the instructions. Keep in mind, however, that the primary point is to recall 3-5 movie scenes that have made a lasting impact on you (whatever the reason for that impact may be.) When you are finished, upload the video to your blog, and, If you are inspired, expand on the reasons why you connect with the specific scenes in your video.

I decided to use four clips from my four favorite movies: Shawshank Redemption (1994), Lion King (1994), The Dark Knight (2008), and American Beauty (1999).

Now this project took for-eve-r. Seriously do you know how hard it is to find the exact clips you want for all four movies and make it so that they work perfectly in. I actually ended up DVD ripping Dark Knight and Shawshank Redemption and finding youtube clips and cutting those down for the other two movies. From there I used Imovie to cut the movie. It was a long process especially when I found out that my microphone does not work. The last thing I did was just make transitions for each movie and wah la.
