Week 5 agenda

1. Complete and turn in "Self Evaluation: Audio" (MC, Appendix 14, page 230)

2. Introduce Movie Maker, discuss and play

3. Import images (check out http://creativecommons.org/ , click "Search CC Licenced Work," click the "Flickr" tag, begin searching for what you might like to use. To capture, right click image, scroll to "save picture as," and rename it something relevant. Keep a list of titles/urls so you can credit them later. Also keep track of their CC license.)

You don't have to use Flickr for this. I invited you to bring images if you wanted to. Do that.

4. Import images and audio into Movie Maker. Let's play! (Movie Maker workshop)

5. Discuss Keller, Branscum and Toscano, Raney, and Watkins.

6. "Don't Be Silent!" (Luca's documentary). discuss in terms of content and technical and rhetorical (and aesthetic) choices.

Windows Movie Maker

Thursday, 2/19, we will begin working with video. The editing program we'll use is widely available and surprisingly easy to use. If you own a PC, you have Movie Maker. If you own a Mac, you have iMovie. These programs are quite similar.

A Windows Movie Maker Tutorial you might find useful.
