Reflection: This was a very fun project to do with Michael,Taylor, and I. A lot of work and filming went into this. One struggle we had was that when we wanted to put a video onto our computer it said that we had to trust the computer even though we already trusted it. This is why it might be a little shorter than most. All in all, I learned a lot from this class, like how to use the studio, how to put together a PSA, and how to use iMovie a lot better. Thank you fro teaching me all of this Mr.Schiff!
