**Workshop Objectives:** 1. Plan an iMovie Project 2. Learn & apply knowledge of importing and editing still, audio and video clips to create a simple iMovie project.

**iMovie Planning:** Planning is an important first step in any movie project and iMovie is no different. Developing some kind of a plan that can be followed during the process makes everything go smoother. The plan can be as simple as a series of sticky notes with each video clip or picture jotted down and what will be said or written or it can be as complex as a complete notebook with a page for each clip or picture with a place for notes on what type of shot (close, wide angle, etc.) and who will be pictures, the person's lines, etc.

**Sample Documents for Planning:** 1. Simple Planning Document: [|Storyboard template.pdf] 2. Movie Planning Sheet: [|storyboard2.pdf] 3. Sample Completed Planning Sheet: [|Storyboard - completed example.pdf] 4. On-line Sticky Noteboard: Linoit sample for use with the clips below-**-// iMovie Planning for Training //** 5.

 * 1) **Open iMovie** and select a Theme
 * 2) **File-->New Project** (this is the imovie project)
 * 3) **File-->New Event** (this is the collection of video clips that you will be creating)
 * 4) **Import Video**--it seems to work best to import all of your video at once
 * 5) **Edit Imported Video**--Mark the video that you want to use as a Favorite
 * 6) **View Favorited Video--Change the view to only see the video clips you have favorited**
 * 7) **Drag Pictures** (you can drag directly to your project from the desktop or folder) **& Video Clips into your project window--**Follow your planning sheet and put the clips in the order that you want to use them
 * 8) **Add Titles** (on the right media window--T Icon) Select the type of title you want and drag the titles into the project window. You can put these on top of the clips or make them a title over black.
 * 9) **Add Voice Overs** (if desired) using the microphone--you will be directed to click on the clip for the voiceover and then you will get a 3, 2, 1 countdown to begin recording.
 * 10) **Add Transitions** (as desired)--Make a selection and drag these between the clips
 * 11) **Add Background Music-**-the musical note icon in the media pane on the right will allow you to make musical selections which you can drag to the background.
 * 12) **Adjust video clips and audio--fine tuning**--Double click any clip in your project window and you will be navigated to the inspector where you can make clip, video and audio adjustments.
