Photos, Music, Voice Recordings - Are we done yet?
The group took additional photos today of some things outside in between the rainclouds. We still need a photo of the class, the green house and old school building.
We have more Voice Recordings than we can even use in the video. We used a MP3 player that is also a digital recorder to collect thoughts from teachers. A few students discussed that voice recordings over slides with information written on them would not "look" or "sound" right. We plan to use music over such slides and try to insert voice recordings over photos with no major information written on them.
As for Music, we found public domain, free downloads of music. It was mostly classical in nature, however one student came early to "listen" to some of it and choose a few songs to use in the movie. It was a great site, very well organized, check out the link.

Making a Movie with Windows Movie Maker
We learned the hard way that we need to make our movies in layers, each layer needing to be completed before we moved on to the next:
1. CLIPS - photos, title slides, video
2. TRANSITIONS
3. TEXT OVERLAY - titles over any photo/video clips
4. VOICE RECORDINGS & MUSIC
Today we nearly completed step #1, except for the beginning of the movie, steps #1-3 are done (Although after watching it as a class some of your comments may require that we fix the beginning as well!). We only have tomorrow to finish the movie as a class, therefore I'll spend some time tomorrow morning making sure everything is organized to help you move through the next steps quickly.
