 * YOUR JOB TODAY: **
 * 1) Complete the **LEFT SIDE** of your storyboard
 * 2) From your storyboard make a to-do-list.
 * 3) Collect content for your movie (images, pictures, keynote titles, video clips). Your signature at the end of the day will be based on how much footage you have for your movie.

"How to Make Movies" movie by Alison and Ian
 * PART 1 - Learning about "shots" **
 * As you create your storyboard, consider the different shots such as Close-Ups, Medium Shots, and Wide Shots. Here are some videos that show you the different types of shots. In general, the more you shots you use, the better. For example: Use "over-the-shoulder" shots which would show what a person is looking at while they are speaking.**
 * Here are some more samples:**

These are the shots shown in the movie you just watched.
Example Another way to make movies interesting is Stop Motion. You might want to use this strategy to tell your story. Look at some examples here:(iMotion App on the iPad)
 * 1) **Establishing Shot**: A wide shot showing where the character is.
 * 2) **Close up** of character's face:
 * 3) **Medium Shot** of MC reaching into pocket to get key
 * 4) **Extreme close up** of hand on keys
 * 5) **Wide shot** of scene (full body)
 * 6) **Extreme close up (XCU)** of key opening door.
 * 7) **Low angle** (point of view of key) of character.
 * 8) **Close up** of hand pushing door
 * 9) **Medium shot** from inside room
 * Challenge ** : What is the MOST number of shots you might use to show someone opening a door:

Here is a Professionally done video about iMiddle. What makes it so good? Consider:
 * What story are they telling?
 * What kinds of shots do they use?
 * How long are the shots?
 * Quality of captions and lettering
 * Audio
 * Camera of movement
 * Details of interviews: Background selection, where are the interviewees looking?
 * What else makes it good?

 * Screencasts

**Example To-Do List: **
I am doing a video for PE on how to run the mile successfully. Here is my list of things I need based on my storyboard.

6) Video clip of another student running with poor form
====7) Still picture of a runner with good form that is brought into PowerPoint. Add text boxes over the image identifying what defines good form. ====

8) Motivational music for the background

 * PART 3 - Gathering Media **
 * It is now time to gather content from your to-do-list**
 * Before you can begin collecting media you must get your to-do-list signed by your teacher. **

Here are some recommended sites for finding images that are acceptable to use:
 * [|Pics4Learning]
 * Usable Clip Art
 * [|ImageBase]
 * [|The World Images Kiosk]
