ICT in Term Three

In ICT, starting Tuesday, we will be learning to use iMovie to make an advertisement for Hamilton. This to help us round up our inquiry unit before we change it slightly to investigate myths relating to the Waikato and some scientific explanations relating to how the river got where it is.
In iMovie, you will need to use still images, related text and to do this you will need to have an idea of what you want to achieve before you begin, so think it over. What would you include to portray Hamilton as an interesting place? How would you include words to bring the photos alive?
We can use photos we already have from our scavenger hunt. We can use photos from the photo competition we have been part of in the riverside cluster. we can use images from the internet. if you're really nice, you could send me off with my trusty camera to snap away at specific locations on your behalf. you may of course take your own photos, but you'll have to be quick and have to get them to school somehow. can you suggest all the ways that could be done, please?

You could bring them in on a disk or on your digital camera and if mrs McCullagh was in a good mood she might help you to put them onto the computer, or somebody else genius with computers could.

Can we make movies! I can ake superhero movies! Heres how:

1) To make someone jump very high just make him jump down somewhere high, then press the reverse button!

2) You can make other powers using the effects from Imovie, here are just some examples!

Power of Weather: Rain and thunder effect
Power of Strength: Use earthquack effect

Could we make some movies after the slideshows?

Just a question!

I'm really excited about this now that I know what it is we're doing!

Aly-blobber, I guess it's a good idea.

MrWoody said...

allyblob - bring the scavenger hunt pics please - same to all of you. i can't find them at school.
sog - glad you're enthused.
blondbob - great idea - i liked your decisiveness.
sk8r - do your own thinking. nice to see you posting.

you kids rock - bring on the creativity - but think things through, make a plan. consider your audience and what suits the needs of the project.
get stuck into the imovie and that film comp idea. i also found some podcasting info today that will really help. i think.

who is anonymus?

MrWoody said...

as i explained in iCT this morning, mr brainy, anonymous is a spammer who is trying to annoy us, or get us to fall into his trap to infect us with viruses,or something.

dan - you need to be more creativ ena dthink of your own possibilities for hamilton photos -we have been studying it for months, you have been on fieldtrips, and you have a family and friends to discuss it with. as a GATE student you need to demonstrate creativity and thinking outside the square.
