Narration Recording

Combined

In the previous assignments you have been exporting your animation backgrounds as separate animated videos. Make sure they are in your Google Drive Project Folder where your story design backgrounds are located. Now that you have completed all of your story animations and exported them as separate videos, combine them together in order in iMovie with your Title/Author animation first.

Background Music

Then go to Freeplay Music, Beatpick, or any other copyright free music that you can use that does not have words, and find a short clip that you can play at the beginning of your story but don't let it play during the whole background 1, fade it out maybe about halfway or when you feel it is most appropriate. Here is an example of a good positive music vibe to start a story with at the start. Also have a closing short background audio clip at the end. These background music clips should not be too loud so they don't interfere with your narration.

Sound Effects

Sound effects add a lot to your story to emphasis certain actions; you must have at least one sound effect for each animated background. Feel free to add more if you think it will enhance your story but do not add more than 2-3 per background.

After you have added your background music and sound efficts to your backgrounds in iMovie, export it and upload it to your Google Drive and share the video link (make sure it is viewable) to Schoology.
