This was a very fun last assignment for me. I used iMovie to make my compilation. I’m not super familiar with the application so it took me a little while to figure out how to use it. To start out, I screenshoted the tweets and saved the memes I wanted to use for this. Then I screen recorded my Timeline project and my Fakebook since I wasn’t too sure how I would insert them any other way. To do this on an Apple, you can open QuickTimePlayer and create a new screen recording from the ‘file’ menu. This method worked nicely since they were already in the .mov format you need to have moving pictures in iMovie. I noticed that my .gif files weren’t moving like they were supposed to so I had to look up how to have GIF files show up correctly in iMovie. So I ended up screen recording part of the screen in order to just have the GIFs in .mov format. That worked nicely and I just laid out each part as I liked. The photos are zoomed and moving by default, but I switched the cropping so they were still and showed the full photo. Lastly, I wanted to add music to my video since it would be quite boring and painful to watch if it was just silence. So I found some royalty free music to use in the background that wasn’t just the iMovie music that everyone uses.
