=Encore Video Directions=


 * 1) After receiving your topic, you can find your files in STUDENTS > FP STUDENT SHARED > KAFKA > NEW MEDIA FILES > ENCORE VIDEO FILES.
 * 2) Launch iPhoto
 * 3) Drag and Drop your folder of pictures to iPhoto.
 * 4) Launch iMovie.
 * 5) Go to FILE > NEW PROJECT and title the project LASTNAME-Encore Video
 * 6) Click the "camera" icon so you can see your iPhoto photos.
 * 7) Drag and drop photos you want to use in order to your project area. Note that each photo will play for 4 seconds.
 * Remember you can click on the SETTINGS gear icon for each picture and change the Ken Burns effect so that parts of the picture don't get cut off awkwardly.
 * 1) After laying out your photos, add your TITLE SLIDES (3 total)
 * Should have a BEGINNING title slide that says the CLASS NAME (Art 2-D Design, New Media, Orchestra, Band, Art Sculpture)
 * Should have an END title slide (The End, or Thanks for Watching)
 * Should have a CREATED BY title slide after the "End" title slide.
 * 1) Pick some music to go along with your video from the iLife Sound Effects folder
 * No "Campfire" and remember you are representing the class so pick something that doesn't distract.
 * Make sure to LOWER your audio
 * 1) Finally, record your audio clips from your script. Remember it's okay to leave some "quiet gaps" so the pictures can play.

In Total, the video should be about a minute or a little less. The pictures don't have to perfectly line up with what's being spoken. The goal is to show some visuals from the class while talking about the class. Remember, you are informing students how these classes work so they can sign up for the classes based on your video!

**iMovie #2: BEAT MARKER SLIDESHOW PROJECT** Follow these directions to create a Beat Marker Slideshow in iMovie using photos you get from Flickr.


 * STEP 1: Gather 15-20 images from Flickr into iPhoto & combine into one "Event." Pictures should follow a theme (examples: America, Football, Packers). Also create a TITLE and ENDING slide in PowerPoint (tip: FILE > SAVE AS PICTURES). Drag and drop into iMovie.**
 * [[file:Flickr-CreativeCommonPics.pdf]] - Use these directions to gather pictures from Flickr using Safari into iPhoto
 * [[file:Flickr-PictureCitationsList.pdf]] - Use this handout to record who you got the Flickr photos from


 * STEP 2: Pick music, place into a new iMovie project & set Beat Markers**
 * 1) Launch iMovie and start a new project by going to FILE > NEW PROJECT. Name the project **LASTNAME-BeatSlideshow** //Notes - Aspect Ratio: Widescreen, Theme: None.//
 * 2) Choose music for your slideshow
 * Either from the "music" area in iMovie under the iLife Sound Effects folder ... or ...
 * You may use the Soundtrack pieces we used for our copyright lesson (STUDENTS > FP STUDENT SHARED > KAFKA > NEW MEDIA FILES > SOUNDTRACK MUSIC)
 * 1) Drag and drop the music you want to use to the PROJECT area. The clip will appear all by itself.
 * 2) Click the "Gear" icon on the clip and go to CLIP TRIMMER
 * 3) CLIP TRIMMER will open below.
 * 4) Listen to your clip by pressing the SPACEBAR at any time.
 * 5) Drag the yellow sliders to figure out which part of the music you want to use (probably about a minute's worth of music). This is very similar to how we edited in GarageBand.
 * 6) While listening to your music, press M to add a "beat marker." (This is demonstrated in the video below if you forgot or missed class). Add your BEATS to your piece of music. You should have __**at least**__ 10 beat changes.
 * 7) Click DONE when finished to leave Clip Trimmer mode.

These resources help explain how to add Beat Markers to music in iMovie. Blog Post with Directions

 * STEP 3: Edit Beat Markers if needed and drag and drop pictures into project**
 * 1) In iMovie, click the CAMERA icon to see your photos from iPhoto. Click on EVENTS.
 * 2) Find your set of photos and double-click to see all the photos in that set.
 * 3) In the Photo set, go to EDIT > SELECT ALL so all photos are highlighted.
 * 4) Now, drag and drop the photos on to the piece of music in the project area. Since you set the beat markers first, the photos should drop according to the beat. Preview your slideshow and see what you think!


 * STEP 4: Export finished movie as MEDIUM video file**
 * 1) When finished, go to SHARE > EXPORT MOVIE USING QUICKTIME
 * 2) Put the movie file in your Student Folder and name it LASTNAME-BeatSlideshow.mov
