Alumnae Reunion Movie

One of the most important projects we have to complete in our Digital Applications Classes is the "Alumnae Reunion Movie." This year the reunion is scheduled for March 21st (Saturday). Which means that the whole project has to be ready before March 18, 2009. We have to take in consideration that in February we're having our "Winter Break" (No Classes from 2/12/09 - 2/16/09). Kairos XVII will take place from 3/10/09 - 3/13/09. I need your cooperation to make this happen! Sister Carla has entrusted us with this assignment and we cannot let her down, nor let down the Alumnae and Sisters of Saint Basil attending the reunion.

This year the reunion is for Alumnae that graduated in the years ending in "4" and "9," e.g. 1984 and1989. We will scan pictures of former SBA students from the following years: 1934, 1939, 1944, 1949, 1954, 1959, 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, and 2004. I will divide the class in groups of two and three and you will create an iMovie with the scanned pictures (and other pictures from yearbooks). We will also select music from those eras to include in the movies. When completed, the group movies will be converted to Full Quality QuickTime movies (best quality) and I will put all of them together to create the final project.

I need you to be very organized when you scan these pictures. Please create folders for each year. These pictures have to be available for everyone in your group, in case some of you are absent. After scanning them, I need you to put them in the Digital Applications Folders so that I can move them to the iLife05 folder in the Server.

You should create a Title Slide for your movie with important events, and things that represent your group's year(s). Enter the year of your movie as a title. An idea is to create a quick collage in Photoshop or PowerPoint and then save as a JPEG. Then, you'll organize the pictures to your liking and insert transitions and visual effects. The pictures should move fast (but not extremely fast). Take in consideration that the visual effects reduce the timing of your photo clips. The transitions should be set to about 0:14 (no more than one second). If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me.

You should also add some titles and a few quotes from the yearbooks of your years in your iMovies. Get creative!

This project will be the biggest grade during this Third Quarter. Instead of giving you Tests and Quizzes, I will take in consideration the work you do for this project, your interest, your dedication and care. You should delegate responsibilities carefully between group members and accept responsibility for your final product. Thanks for your understanding!
