IP 10 iMovie Project Outline

Your iMovie project is a chance for you to compile your favourite photos on a specific topic or theme into a professional-looking presentation that will be shared with the class upon completion of the assignment. You are free to exercise your creative judgment in a variety of ways with this assignment by choosing your own photos, titles, transitions, effects, timings, and audio enhancements. Have fun!

iMovie Presentation Guidelines:

Length: Approx. 2-4 minutes (the length of the song you choose as background audio)

Number of photos/videos: Varies (a 4-minute iMovie in my collection has 179 photos at 2 seconds per photo, but your presentation may have considerably fewer photos depending on the length of your song and the duration of your photos and transitions. Videos also will take up more space in your presentation and can be used to enhance your project where appropriate.)

Required elements:

· At least three (3) title slides, the first of which must include the title of your presentation and your name

· At least one background audio clip in the form of a full-length song, approximately 2-4 minutes in length (can be imported easily from iTunes)

· At least two (2) different transition styles

· Transitions between all photos

· A variety of Ken Burns effects (i.e. Panning from bottom right to top left, from bottom to top, left to right, zooming in, zooming out, focusing in on one person or thing, spreading the focus out to the entire photo, etc.)

Considerations to keep in mind:

· Use only high quality photos. Be sure that they are of high enough resolution that they do not appear blurry on the screen.

· Be conscious of the content of your photos when selecting your Ken Burns effects ( i.e. Avoid cropping a person’s head out of the shot, cutting out text on edited photos, etc.).

· Choose audio that will complement your presentation (i.e. The tempo or speed of the song should be in line with the mood of the presentation, such as using an upbeat song for a presentation on a lively topic; lyrics should also be relevant and classroom appropriate).

You will be graded (partially) on your work ethic during class time, and (heavily) on the appropriateness of the photos and audio selected for your presentation, organization, spelling/grammar, creativity, and overall effect of your iMovie project. Have fun, and be creative!
