TUE/WED: iMovie How-To [Adding Music & Exporting | Rough Draft Deadline]

  • WARM-UP: 
    • Spend 3 minutes silently thinking about things you might want to make your mini-documentary about [like The River & The Wall]
      • It could be an issue: Stop Littering
      • Or informative: Explaining something important 
      • Or: This is why puppies are cute
    • Then spend 7 minutes filling out THIS FORM
    • Then continue Editing your How-To
      • You will turn in WHATEVER YOU HAVE at the end of class today to your Google Classroom
      • You may come to office hours and continue to work today
      • The completed video is DUE FRIDAY
  • DAILY Learning Target:
    • I can complete the ROUGH EDIT of my How-To video and upload it for credit
  • HOMEWORK & Announcements:
    • iPhone kids: TURN OFF HIGH EFFICIENCY VIDEO
    • NO VERTICAL VIDEO | HOLD YOUR PHONE SIDEWAYS!
    • Prepare for and film for your Miniature Documentary as time and inspiration allows. Your Storyboard [example and blank linked here] is DUE next Monday
    • NO VERTICAL VIDEO | HOLD YOUR PHONE SIDEWAYS!
    • Did you watch The Wall & The River to see how they made it?  Continue to dissect your media! 
    • NO VERTICAL VIDEO | HOLD YOUR PHONE SIDEWAYS!
  • DEADLINES:
    • How-To is DUE 90% finished at the end of class TODAY- we are moving into HEAD DOWN, CHURN OUT THE WORK, TIME FOR THE HOW-TO
      • 100% finished and turned in by Friday 5/10/19 - Limited Editing Time Thursday and Friday 
  • LESSON:
    • Adding MUSIC & OTHER OUTSIDE AUDIO
      • ZERO BAD WORDS (no swearing, no ethnic slurs, no misogynistic lyrics)
      • Videos with instrumental soundtracks get higher scores
      • If the audience pays more attention to your music than your content then youR GRADE GOES DOWN
      • You can add ANY mp3 to your timeline by DRAGGING it from your FINDER
      • Do NOT use the music feature in iMovie
      • Do NOT use the iTunes integration in iMovie
    • Downloading an MP3 for your school projects
      • [NOTE: This is a FAIR USE case - it is illegal do download these songs for non-school use]
      There are many services that will strip audio from online videos, this is one that currently works well BUT it does have a tricky AD component


       If you enter a YOUTUBE url here you will get that specific song
      Not all YOUTUBE songs can be converted to MP3


       Select the song from the list and 
      hit DOWNLOAD

      Do NOT be fooled by the ADS or other shenanigans at this point
      It will probably take you to another web page or do something weird
      Simply click back to the tab that has the search box with your song on it
          Do NOT download or install anything 
       ESPECIALLY THIS   
        

      You should see it doing something official like this 

       When you get the SECOND DOWNLOAD button 
      push it

      Your MP3 will download in the bottom 
      left of the browser window
      [YOU MAY GET HIT WITH THE ADS AGAIN]

       When it has finished downloading
      MOVE it from Downloads to your PERIOD DRIVE

      TO PUT IT IN YOUR TIMELINE 
      DRAG IT FROM YOUR PERIOD DRIVE
    • Adding TRANSITIONS
      • They work just like titles, but they eat little bits of your video
      • If your video clip is too short some transitions will not be allowed
      • Use simple transitions
      • Use only a few different styles of transitions - settling on only one is often best
    • EXPORTING (and uploading to Google Classroom)



iMovie | File | Share | File





Name your file this way
