making movies!

My loaner computer does not have movie maker so I made one with Marie and took notes. Anyone who was in class, if you have anything to add to my disjointed notes, please feel free to add to them!

making a movie with moviemaker
go to helmstreet.com/sample.wav and download to save file. Save somewhere that is easily accessible to use for this assignment. This is the audio track.
Assignment instructions under Course documents in bb
open Windows Movie Maker. Use Timeline mode, not storyboard. Open audio, import the sample.
Add title for the audio track under Edit Movie. Now we match the video with audio. To begin, there are 10 seconds before the track begins so drag the track back to the beginning.
In class, we titled it "who am I?" and added Spiderman pics. You can import pics from anywhere (when we each made our own, we used images from google, facebook, and myspace as well as just on the computer). To stop an image after the audio, for example the image with the title, just move the end of the image to line up with the green line that signals where the dialog I chose to illuminate ends so that the square with the writing has a common edge with the green line. It is quite simple to drag the image down to just above the audio track. After you've imported a picture into moviemaker, just drag down to the track. If you stop the audio just after he finishes the question "Who am I?" there will be a green line where you stopped it. Make sure the image is before the line so it will not show after the question is heard.
On the left side task pane, 2.Edit movie has transitions and effects. Insert transition effects between the images (by dragging) so they flow smoothly. Add effects by layering on top of the picture (also drag and drop).
Save project frequently while working!!! File>>>save movie file>>>mycomputer>>>my videos Make sure to publish and then upload to youtube. If you don't have a youtube account, you may need to create one. I'll add the movie when it has processed.
