Back to Lynda.com. Garrick is really a great instructor. My next interest leads me to creating movie trailers. That particular option sounds really fun to me. Especially because I know that this is something my students would enjoy doing.
The option has an outline, storyboard and shot list template. Using those options makes it very simple to drag clips you already have into this new project. From beginning to end this program is really eye catching. The opening shot has templates that resemble a real movie studios opening branding shot. When using movie trailer all you have to do is put your name in place of 20th Century Fox or whichever template you choose. Then you are one your way to creating an awesome project.
When using movie trailer there are pre-set shots set up for 1-6 people. All that you need to do is drag a clip and drop it. The directions were very clear, and I really want to try out this project .
The credit clip at the end of the movie is very impressive. It is also a template; all you have to do is fill in the needed information. The finished project is very impressive.
Yesterday I showed my class the movie trailer tutorial. Two 8th grade boys are going
to watch the entire iMove’11 tutorial. They decided they would watch it during their lunchtime next week. Both of them have previously used iMovie. I am sure that after they complete the tutorial they will be able to improve their iMovie skills, and I am looking forward to see what they create.
I think it's really cool that you are sharing your Full Sail experience with your students! Just because they aren't in our Month 4 Course doesn't mean that they can't benefit from all of this great information as well. Plus, your students can only grow from a more personal experience with the training video and they can connect their learning with real-world experiences AND to the content that you teach them.
ReplyDeleteThe experience that you are allowing them to have is definitely a gift. I hope you will share with us anything that your students create. I can't wait so see how they incorporate the features from the iMovie videos!
You seem very interested in the Movie Trailer feature...I hope you decide to make one and share it with us. Maybe you can give me some pointers. :)
Melinda,
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love the movie trailer option!! It is a blast. I know your students will love it as well. I have found the only challenge to be finding enough 1 sec clips to make the story flow. After making a couple trailers, this process gets so much easier and I have made some hilarious trailers for my family. I love that you are finding a way to really share what we are learning through this program. Keep it up!
Aloha!
