Story Compilation

Group Member A will compile all the video clips of the story into iMovie in the following order:

Animated Title (created by member B)

Animated Signature & self-portrait vector (member A followed by member B)

vertical pan background animation #1

background animation #2

#3 - #10

Verse clip

The total time must be 3-4 minutes long...it can be up to 4:59 if it is really good. If it is more than five minutes long each group member will be deducted a point for each second over...but try to keep it under four.

Then narrate your story with character voices in a creative way. Good examples: GumGum & Not Trash. Add background music when needed and sound effects; just have two of each minimum.

Narration

In iMovie narrate your story and it is important to change and disguise your voice to make it sound appropriate to the character and funny. Feel free to make sound effects. Make sure that all the narrations are about the same volume. If you scream, stand back a little and don't scream directly into the speaker on your Macbook. When recording make sure you watch your audio levels; they should all be about 75% full (green) and should not go into the maximum red bar. If they do, edit the sound by decreasing that part of the volume.

After you record you can enable it so you can see your audio in your iMovie timeline so you will know which clips you may need to edit. As you see in the example below, the first voice recording on the right hits peaks that are too high and should be edited to lower the volume.

Export

When you are finished, export it as Large to your desktop and place it in the dropbox folder so both you and your partner have access to it.

Then upload it to youtube with the following info/format; I will enter the password when you are ready and upload it as Large or HD and make sure it is public.

Post the YT link to your Posterous and the YT link to final project spreadsheet.

Upload your title page to the MF Picasa album and add the following in the caption:
