Vacation Video: Summative Assignment

iMovie: Summative Assignment

It’s time for you to show everything you know about iMovie and add one final trick into the mix. You’ve learned how to play with audio. You’ve learned how to transition between images. You’ve learned how to add titles. For the last step you’re going to add video FX.

Doing that is as simple as creating titles overlaying images. Click on [editing] in the bottom right, and then click on [video FX] in the top left. Click on each entry in the list to see how they affect the image below. You’ll need to use a few of them, but don’t worry it’s as easy as that.

Assignment Information

Oh no! Mr. Barltrop has just returned from a trip, but he has far too many photos to show people. He needs a nice, tight, video montage highlighting the best images from around the world. It’s up to you to create this video.

The images you use will be taken from http://mrbarltrop.blogspot.com/ There you will find an entry titled Vacation Video: Work Files. Choose twenty images from that post, and import them as clips into iMovie.

Requirements

· You will need to transition between each of the twenty images.

· As well, you will need to add at least three Video FX such as Rain, or Old Film. Overlay these effects on images where it makes sense to see them. The result should not be jarring, or take away from the images.

· You must create a soundtrack for the video, using an appropriate song of your choosing. Music must accompany the twenty images

· Three sound effects clips (i.e. Waves Lapping) must be included in appropriate spots throughout the video.

· There must be at least one titles set, either at the beginning or the end. Multiple titles are acceptable if desired
