Music Video: 

1.  Pick a song

2.  Find lyrics and copy onto a Word document

3.  Write out a storyboard describing each shot

4.  Make a list of props and who is responsible for bringing them

5.  Write a 2 - 3 sentence summary of your music video

6.  Dropbox #'s 1 - 5 to me with everyone's names

7.  Once all your props are brought in your group may start filming.

Cigar Box Guitar project:

This project is broken down into a couple different parts that when put together, creates something suitable for the announcements.

1. Collect 15 - 20 pictures of cigar box guitars and old school blues players.

2. Create a professional-looking Keynote project that holds all of those pictures along with limited text.  Text size shouldn't be smaller than size 20. This project will have between 9 and 12 slides. Add transitions and export as a self playing large size Quicktime movie.

3. Write a 100 - 120 word script on the history of cigar box guitars to use for a voiceover.

4.  Download this video clip and import it into an iMovie project.

5.  Import the Quicktime movie you made in part 2.

6.  Record your voiceover.

7.  Using the example I showed in class, create your own project for cigar box guitars.  Remember, put the guitar movie on the timeline.  Split your Keynote movie like this:  title slide without transition, then the remaining slides into groups of two (slide<transition>slide).  Be sure to trim each start clip in the groups so it doesn't begin with a transition.

Once your Keynote is all split, click on one grouping, go to Edit - Cut, then navigate to your timeline and move the playhead where you want the clip to go.  Go to Advanced - Place clip at playhead. The video will show from the Keynote video but the audio will be from the guitar movie.

Save often.

8.  Finished projects should be a combination of the supplied video, your Keynote-created Quicktime movie and your voiceover.  Total length will be between 1:40 and 1:50.

9.  Export finished project as "cigarboxguitar_lastname_p?"

Football clip:  Control + click and download the three football files:

Clip 1     Clip 2     Clip 3

You will be creating a 42 second highlight of this game. Your video should be fast-paced, include music, a title screen and a screen listing out group members' names.  Any crowd noise should be removed unless it is needed for your video.

Save and export as Quicktime CD-ROM.  "football_lastname_p?".

Dropbox.

iMovie cut to action:  Control + click to download this file.  Open up a new iMovie file and import the Quicktime movie.  Make a copy of it.  Using the skills show in class, you will edit:

      - throwing the book back and forth for a total of four throws and four

        catches

      - walking through the door

Each series should be smooth and convey motion.  Add sound effects to each throw and catch as well as the door opening.

Add a title screen with your name on it.

Save as "book_lastname_p?".  Go to File - Export (Share) - Quicktime - CDROM.  Dropbox that Quicktime file, not the iMovie file.  iMovie files will not be graded.

Announcement Backgrounds: We use Keynote every morning for the morning announcements.  These backgrounds reflect the topic of the announcements in a professional and clear manner.  You will be practicing making these backgrounds.

Create Keynote slides for the following topics: baseball, softball, track, boys volleyball and SGA.  These slides must be size 800x600.

Be sure to allow half of the slide for a person to stand when reading the announcement.  Your design should be clean and professional looking.  You may incorporate pictures from Fireworks. 

Send these 5 completed slides as one Keynote file.  Put your names on the first slide somewhere and save as "Slides_lastname_p?"

HINT:  Here's a PDF that shows how to save pictures with a transparent background for use in Keynote.

Fireworks tutorial #5:  Neon effects.  (This is a website, not a PDF file.)

This takes you to a website where you will follow their directions with a couple of changes.  Instead of the word "Abduzeedo" you will write out "Monarch."  Additionally, the blue neon will be your name, the yellow will be the period you're in, and the pink will be the date.

Here are the two project pictures you need to get started.  Control + click on both of the pictures and download them.  BARN   WOOD

Control + click on the picture of the barn after downloading and choose open with Fireworks.  Remember, save often. 

Dropbox as "Tutorial5_lastname_p?"
