W2 Assignments Movie Magic and PIxie Dust / EC Halloween Video

Week 2 Projects

Project #1  Movie Magic:  Create a video project where you disappear.

You will film yourself three different times using either the iMovie video camera or the Photobooth movie camera. You will notice a difference in the cameras if you try both.

1. Film yourself sitting in your chair using your magic word and magic motion. My word is "abracadabra" and my magic motion is snapping my fingers. You may use mine or create your own.
2. Film where you just were - an empty seat. Do not move the angle of the camera.

3. Film yourself back in your chair and say "I'm Back"

4. Edit your clips in iMovie.

5. Add a background music or sound, something constant to add to the effect.

6. Add a beginning and ending title. Call this project "MOVIE MAGIC"
7.  Render your video to iTunes, then upload to your Blog page.

Project # 2  Pixie Dust

1. Using iMovie create a new project
2. To see the pixie dust motion, open the 'Titles" that you use for writing text in iMovie.
You will be using pixie dust without any text.
3. Film yourself moving your arm from one side of the screen to the other.
4. Lay the Text track of the pixie dust on top of your video. The hard part here is lining up the two motions to make it appear as one.
5. Find a pixie dust sound and include in video.
6. Add a beginning and ending title. Call this project Pixie Dust
7. Render your video to iTunes and post to your blog page.
