Making an iMovie

Today we reviewed how to make an iMovie.
There are a few students in the class who have never made a movie.

Mr Matt created a short movie using the lyrics from one of JK Sampson's songs.

"The smallest bones: the feet and the inner-ear
It's such an enormous thing to walk and to listen."

Here are the steps we followed to create an iMovie ...

You can refer to these steps if you are stuck when we try to make our own sample movies in class tomorrow.

• + New project / movie
• Select theme (this will affect text and transition options)
