Movie Group Project

This new project is a "Group Project", which means you must work with your group - previously chosen. You must work as a group member and contribute equally in your group's movie creation. If not, points will be taken off from your grade.

Remember: the movie should include at least 12 slides (with photos of your choice, selected carefully to enhance your slide show.) It should include a "title" slide with the name of your movie and a "closing" slide with credits - the names of your group. Add transitions, special effects, titles, text and music. Also add a quote or poem. You can also add an enhanced picture created in Photoshop, using some of the filters used in our Photoshop Exercise (like "Artistic" - Paint Daubs, Plastic Wrap, Dry Brush, etc. - you can use more than one in a picture) Get creative!

If you have any questions regarding the new version of iMovie or Photoshop, please do not hesitate to ask me. This movie is due: October 31st, 2006.
