Editing | 7th Grade Induction Day

Yesterday we all split-up into pairs of two to do some editing for the year 7's induction day; where they all stood in front of a green screen (holding an SMS teddy bear) and spoke a little about themselves - i.e.: their pets, what disney characters they would like to be, their favorite games, music, and hobbies etc. After that they wrote down what background they would like to have in their videos and what music they would like to have playing over top as well. We collided their videos into one big film, and then used the skills we had learnt from creating our AS movies to edit their films. We added their preferred images to the background using the green screen setting on iMovie; for which we had to place the image first and then drag the clip over top to get the proper effect. We then also downloaded the songs they waned from YouTube, using a website called 'covertor2' and placed them on the proper clips. We lowered the volume of the songs, pitched up the volume of the actual clips and then canceled any background noises. This was definitely a fun little activity to do as it refreshed our brains with all the skills we had used for our films.
