IMovie - Movie Marquis Project

IMOVIE INTRODUCTION

You will be making a number of movies with Apple IMovie during this
class.  Starting next week you will work on creating a Public Service
Announcement (PSA) with a partner.  Start thinking of ideas now so you
will be able to pick something for next week.



Watch the following clip on your own to get ideas about your Personal
Movie Marquis.  This is a short movie clip (10-15 seconds) that you will
add to the end of your PSA to "sign" it.  The Movie Marquis you are
creating should be a reflection of your personality, and is intended to
let people know who created the movie it follows.  It can be used at the
end or the beginning of a movie.  I want you to pretend you are
creating a Movie Production Studio and give some thought to the kind of
movies and messages you would like to support.  Be creative and have fun
with this project.  It can be serious, funny or anything you want it to
be.  Please make sure you use the clip you created in GarageBand for
this project.  You may find pictures and other video clips online or
sign out a camera.  I have a limited amount of equipment, so you will
have to share.
