Friday's Lesson

Of those of you that I saw on Monday, I can't believe you've still not updated your blogs... get it done asap.

The rest of you, I'll sort your blogs this Monday. For this lesson, I'd really like all the groups to have practised/experimented with some shooting and uploaded it to imovie so you can have a play around with the software. If you're utterly unsure, ask Joely's group to show you their little film 'continuity walking' that they Flip'd and then uploaded. I want to see something similar from all the groups by Monday.

Here's an imovie 09 tutorial that shows you the basics of editing your film.

There are literally hundreds of tutorials like this on imovie so if you're after a particular effect, just search in Youtube.

Remember, your PROJECT is your actual film that you're making, and the EVENTS are simply every time you upload filming/clips. You can have as many events as you like - name them by the day and date you've filmed to keep it simple but you can only have the one project and you must NEVER rename anything once uploaded to imovie or clips won't match. I'll bring my macbook in on Monday and show you what I mean on the smartboard.

Of course you can call your project something else once you're done and want to upload it to Youtube but don't rename it whilst still in imovie.
