Technical Final

1) Open Photobooth and record five 5 second movie clips and one photo. Use effects on 3 of the clips.

It doesn’t matter what the movie clips are of, as long as there is constant movement (no dead time) in the clips. Obviously the photo will have no movement (static).

2) Import the six clips into iMovie as a New Event. Put them into a New Project with a standard aspect ratio.

a) Add transitions between each clip.

b) Clip #1 - turn red, blue or green.

c) Clip #2 - Slow the speed down to 25%.

d) Clip #3 - Add an aged film effect.

e) Clip #4 - Add a Picture in Picture

f) Clip #5 - Flip this clip sideways, put a Cutaway of the same clip and turn opacity to 50% so that each clip is visible (superimposed ghost effect).

g) Photo - Add a Ken Burns effect - have the screen start at either the top or bottom and  end at the opposite side. 

h) Add titles on each clip naming them Clip One, Clip Two, Photo, etc
I) Create an The End screen for your project. 

3) Open Keynote and create an animated title screen with credits. 

4) Put your Keynote title screen into your iMovie project.

5) Open Garageband and create a beat 30 seconds long using 3 different synthesized electronic instruments. 

6) Put your Garageband project into your iMovie project and add it as a linear track. Put a manual fade on the end of it.
