Lord of the Flies Movie Preview Project
This project will incorporate many Web 2.0 production tools. The completed piece will be a movie trailer of Lord of the Flies that is 90 seconds long.
Check the ANNOUNCEMENTS PAGE often for updates to the project.
6. Using Movie Maker, assemble these items into your movie trailer. There will be some editing required to get it to the required 90 second length and to adjust for flow and cadence. SAVE OFTEN!! Many have forgotten to do so and have lost precious work and time.
5. Locate items for your project; this will include character images with names, video clips, audio clips, voice narration, rating, intro and credits. Directions for accumulating these items are on the pages for the specific tool you are using.
4. Lay out your project on a storyboard (see Multimedia Resources page). This will assist you in organizing your thoughts and come up with a plan. NOTE: This storyboard may be altered as resources are acquired for the project.
3. Open Windows Movie Maker file, save it to the Desktop of the computer you are working on and then upload this file to your Drop Box account. [You will do this every time you save or you will LOSE your most recent editing.] NOTE: Save filename as 'period-lastname-lastname' (ex. 2-Phillips-Jackson). That way Mrs. Jackson will know whose project it is.
2. Open Drop Box account from Mrs. Phillips' invitation. You will create a shared account with your partner and will save all resources to this shared account.
