Warm - Up (10 min)

POTD
QOTD:
Is your hero’s portrait saved as a JPG? If not, open your photoshop document and save for web and devices as a JPG. We will need it to make our movie!

Turning In (5 min)
Today you will be turning in the following:
Hero’s Theme Garageband File
and MP3 version of the song
a movie version of the song
Please put these three documents in a folder and name the folder
“YOUR NAME_HERO’S THEME”

Making the song into a movie (15 min)

1. Open your Hero’s Theme Song from your desktop.
2. Use “Share” to export your song or podcast to disk; save the MP3 to your desktop.
3. Open iMovie (NOT iMovie HD!)
4. Drag your MP3 into the project window (your cursor will turn into a green plus when it’s ready to drop). You should see a green rectangle with a musical note on it.
5. Drag your JPG image onto the green rectangle; again, your cursor will turn into a green plus when it’s time to drop.
6. Click on the cog, or gear in the lower left corner of your image. Click on “clip adjustments;” change the “duration” to 60. Press the space bar to preview.
