BIOGRAPHY PROJECT due the week of June 13, 2016
FINAL week of June 20, 2016
Movie Maker Biography Project
Project Description: Students will do research on a historical or famous figure and create a
1 to 2 ½ minute movie about that person. The presentation should include pictures, videos, text information, spoken narration, and music/sound effects.
Step One: Pick a Subject
Step Two: Research and Write a Script
Step Three: Collect Pictures, Videos and Music
Music: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html

Video: http://streaming.discoveryeducation.com

Download & Streaming : Moving Image Archive : Internet Archive
https://archive.org/details/movies
Step Four: Assemble Pictures and Videos in your Timeline
- ** Create a folder on the desktop or flash drive. (SAVE ALL PICTURES AND VIDEOS IN THE FOLDER)**
- Open Movie Maker and start a new project from the file menu.
- INSERT the pictures/videos from your folder into the time line in the order that you want them to appear in your movie.
- Adjust the duration of the pictures as you practice reading along with your script.
Step Five: Record your Narration
- Home -> Record Narration
- Record and save your audio clips in YOUR FOLDER.
- Adjust the time of the pictures to match your narration
Step Six: Transitions and Titles
Add animated transitions between SOME of the pictures and videos.
Titles are text on the screen. You will need to have Titles at the beginning of the video that include your name and the name of the person that you are presenting on. You will also need to have credits at the end of the video that list any additional information (Names of assistants, titles of songs, websites where you obtained your information).
Step Seven: Add Background Music
Your background music is your choice, but it needs to match the theme of your presentation and should be instrumental music with no lyrics. Lyrics in the music often distract viewers from your own words in the narration.
Step Eight: Export your Movie
