iMovie Introduction: Project 1

This assignment is worth 200 points. Be sure and read all of your instructions before you start!

You will be completing a short project in iMovie in order to review some of its techniques. Your assignment requires you to record a very short video clip, no longer than 2 minutes, but at least 1 minute, about you. You must always start with a game plan before you create your project, it will turn out much better and more organized if you do. However, we are simply learning about the iLife suite (Garageband, Photos, iTunes, iMovie) right now, so we are just going to create for the fun of learning. Let's get started!

1. (5 pts) Create a new Project labeled with todays date and intro
2. (5 pts) Make sure it created a new event with your project.
3. (71 pts, written introduction is worth 21 points) You will start out with an introduction where you introduce yourself using the Open Camera Import Window. We have microphones (Snowballs) that can be used to have direct vocal input that you are required to use. Audio input of you talking must be at least 15 seconds. Make sure the room is quiet and ask students to move if they are not to be in your background. Take pride in this project, it will be shown to other classes. You are to write out what you will be saying on the Google Classroom, click Create Google Doc so you can turn in your write-up. It is to be approved by Mrs. Rucker before you record. Here is an example of how you could start out. You can come up with something totally different if you wish.
• "My name is Jane/John Doe and I am a sophomore at Tina-Avalon High School. I enjoy playing softball, basketball and cheering for our awesome boys basketball team. I am also actively involved in NHS, FBLA, FCCLA and FFA. I must admit that Multi-Media is my favorite class ever! I would like to share a few pictures with you of me spending time with my friends and activities I am involved in here at school. Here we go!"
4. (50 pts, 5 pts for each picture) You are to include at least 10 pictures of you, or you with your friends using pictures from the yearbook file. You can use one or two pictures from Photobooth. You will need to import the pictures you need into iPhoto if you have not already done so.
   • Put some effort in this, do not just pick pictures at random. Make sure the pictures flow and are about you.
   • To insert the photo into your movie, you drag the photo from the event up into the movie where you want it placed.
5. (25 pts, 5 pts for each title) You are to include text Title on your slides.
• You must have it on at least five slides, you can have it on more.
• Drag and drop the title over the picture you want it to be on.
6. (24 pts, 2 pts for each transition) You are to include Transitions for every picture. Do this last.
• Drag and drop the transition in between the photos or video and photo.
7. (10 pts) You are to include music and or sound effects. Bring in a song or use a song you already have loaded on your computer. We will work on editing the song to fit your movie. It seems to be rather hard to edit the timeline music for the movie.
8. (5 pts) You need to have an ending slide that says "This video was created by: Your Name". Be creative with it.
9. (10 pts) When the project is completed, share the movie to your Documents/iMovie folder Save as iMovie_P1_YourName
10. Have fun and be creative with this assignment. We are learning iLife suite together. So be as adventurous as you can be while having good, clean fun! You will be graded on your quality of work. Do not just throw something together.
