Windows Movie Maker Assignment

This assignment has three parts, all of which will contribute to your digital footprint. Part 1 involves learning how to use Moviemaker and creating a business report that another potential user could refer to when using Moviemaker. In part 2 of the assignment you will use your knowledge to create an instructional video using Moviemaker (or another online movie creator if you can find it). In part 3 you will use a Web 2.0 movie creator to create content for the 'cloud'.

Part 1 - Learn Moviemaker (or alternate). Where to start - visit the Microsoft tutorial at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/default.mspx

Create a report (using Wordperfect) on the following topics:
Windows Movie Maker - what is it?
Windows Movie Maker - how to:
• Add clips to a story board
• Edit clips
• Add sound to movie
• Adding a transition
• Adding titles and credits
• Add special effects

Include a title page, table of contents and a sources cited. The use of images (Screen Captures), and other advanced wordprocessing techniques (tables, columns, tabs, etc) is encouraged when creating this report. This report is to be created using Wordperfect wordprocessor. For help in creating a business report refer to: http://gdciinformationwiki.pbworks.com/f/BusinessReportWriting.pdf

Once you have a complete business report created in a wordprocessor, convert the report and upload it to a Wiki for final evaluation.

Part 2 - Create an instructional video to enhance your digital footprint. Your assignment is to create a short video that teaches someone about a skill you have. The skill can be anything from how to make a cake, to playing a tune on a piano, to how to write a proper essay. You decide on the skill that you think you are best at! Using video cameras, programs such as jing, and any other resource you choose, ‘shoot’ (create raw footage for) the instructional video. Once the video is shot, edit your video using Windows Movie Maker. You will use some or all of the features covered in your report (from part 1 above). Upload your video to YouTube to share your knowledge with others. When creating the video keep in mind that it is going to be uploaded, so be sure to protect your privacy.

Video requirements:
1) Opening title screen - give your movie a title
2) Closing Credits (list all movie maker names etc.)
3) Create a link from your report in Part 1 to the video
4) Submit the video by emailing your teacher the link to your report from part 1.


Part 3 - Create a video that uses the site: http://xtranormal.com/ The content of this video will be a discussion between you, an experienced Web 2.0 user and a parent, guardian, teacher, principal, an employer, or a client. You are trying to convince them that either:

a) They should be allowing you to use Web 2.0 tools to learn
or
b) They should be using web 2.0 tool s in their workplace to increase ....

You will need to do some research to create facts to use in your side of the discussion.
