Making a Movie Using iSight By Linda Yollis ~ Chaparral Elementary
Classroom iSight Movies • Fun • Educational • Open the classroom up to parents and the community
Three examples of movies I made with my class: • September Movie • Place Value Movie • The Polygon Movie
Students share one thing they learned in September in third grade. I gave the introduction to the class film.
Students present a four digit number in standard form, expanded form, word form, and block form.
The next iSight movie is much more advanced! • Microphone • Title slide • Credit slides • Music • Inserted jpg files • Sound effects • Video effects
Items needed: • MacBook • Microphone (optional) • A YouTube account (optional) • Be sure to set up sound in system preferences!
iMovie always creates the default name “My Great Movie” when you create a new project.
I’m going to zoom in to this area in order to help you switch from edit mode to camera mode.
Press “Record With iSight” to start recording. Press “Record With iSight” to stop recording.
Step 7: Save your clip. (Apple + S) If you don’t like it, delete it.
Step 8: Crop your clip, if necessary. (Leave some time at both ends.)
The triangular cropping markers are the tools for cropping. Move the triangular cropping markers along the scrubber bar to mark the beginning and ending points of the clip. The golden portion of the scrubber bar is what will be saved.
Step 9: Drag the clip to the clipviewer tray.
To play your movie, press the large triangle. (Click in the gray area if you have one clip highlighted.) .
All clips can be moved by clicking and dragging. All clips can be deleted.
When all your clips are edited and dragged together, you’re ready to share your movie!
In order to post your movie on your LVUSD website, you will need to save it in a special way.
Step 3: Name this new WebStreaming file. (Using the word “web” in the name is helpful.)
Step 5: Upload your web streaming movie file to your YouTube account.
Step 6: Copy the LAST PART of your url address from your uploaded video.
Copy the LAST PART of the url address after the = sign. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBrhEJc8Ff0
Paste this “code” in your LVUSD website. Include the brackets: {youtube}uBrhEJc8Ff0{/youtube}
{youtube}uBrhEJc8Ff0{/youtube} Warning: The movie won’t appear until you log out of your teacher page.
Things to consider: • External hard drive • Use the “Help” menu • Keep it simple! • Email me with any projects you post! • chaparralelementaryschool.org
