You will be given a card of a famous Black American with a summary of their biography on the back. You will be using this card to create the basis for your video. (The cards will need to be returned so don't lose them! You may not choose another famous black America without permission from the original set in the cards. Here is a photocopy of all the cards, in case you lose one.) Briefly, in this video, you will use the biography on the back as a script to record a narration track in garage band, bring that track into iMovie and illustrate with appropriate images and/or video as well as sound effects, if appropriate.
Extra credit opportunity - Research and write your own script for your assigned person. |
Directions:
1. Begin with your narration - your goal is a smooth and articulate narration. Here is a tutorial of a teacher recording definitions. The process is the same. Sometimes recording separate clips have less errors, but they need to be put together so the narration is smooth. Keep track and label your clips. You may export to iTunes or to an .mp3 and then import to iMovie. You will need to narrate in a quiet place by yourself! Do your narration early. I will have time at lunch and after school in the future.
2. Images and/or Video - Your images and video should match your narration in content and/or time of history (to give context) yet, tell a story. Use high resolution images (search for large images) and be sure to acknowledge where you got the images somewhere in your video.
3. Music/Sound Effects - Once you have completed your narration and video tracks, add music to duck under the narration as well as add to the story. Sound effects, such as war noise during a war picture, will add a nice effect to your storytelling.
4. Titles and Credits - Credits at the end of the should include, edited by Your Name, and where you got your music, etc. If you use captions under pictures, do not put titles directly over images unless there is adequate contrast and it is easily legible, search for an appropriate title, or ask how to use powerpoint to create slides to use in your iMovie. Spelling and Grammar are important.
5. Peer Review - Add another title at the slide at the end of the movie and list the student who peer reviews your movie. They should be giving you constructive criticism, checking spelling and grammar and judging the quality of your video.
6. Export and Upload - to Google Drive and Share with me. Title your Movie the last name of your person, underscore your last name. Example King_Eitner

Nature of Monroe video
|
You will have ONE period to use the iPad to video nature. Your final project will be a 30 seconds - 1-minute movie with multiple video clips only, and with a soundtrack.
While you are shooting be sure that you have a variety of angles, perspectives, types of shots including macro, if possible. Watch out for; shaking/jittery images, video that is out of focus, or shooting in all one view. Since this is video, some of your clips should also show movement. When you have completed your video, airdrop all the clips to your computer OR upload them from the ipad to your Google Drive. Edit in iMovie. Create a title page (Nature at Monroe) and make sure you are using transitions to move from one scene to the next. At the end of the movie, add credits for the music, and add a title page with your student ID number, not your name. We will screen these as a class and grade them as a whole class. When completed export the video from iMovie and upload it to your google drive and share it with Mrs. Eitner. THESE ARE DUE TO MRS EITNER ASAP |
