Project Suggestion:

1. Figure out a topic

2. Research the topic and list 20 facts you want to present using a Google Doc to list them. Make sure to list the URL's (websites you use to give credit)

3. Begin to find pictures to represent the facts you listed. Make sure to use larger pictures by clicking on the thumbnails and viewing the picture. Drag the picture into iPhoto's icon and keep collecting your images in iPhoto. iPhoto is synced with iMovie. Collect the URL's (web addresses) of the pictures to give credit.

4. After the pictures, find an instrumental song to download. Make sure to copy & paste the URL on your Google doc to give credit. Use YouTube mp3 (http://www.youtube-mp3.org/ ) to download the song. The song will download to your Downloads folder and will be uploaded to iTunes. iTunes is also synced to iMovie

5. Then if you were not able to film or get live footage of your topic, borrow a video from YouTube. You will only use less than a minute but need to download the whole video. Use: KeepVid: (http://keepvid.com/ ).

6. Go to iMovie and go to File -New Project. Select a theme or a movie trailer. CREATE.
