Windows Live Movie Maker Workshop

Date and Time:January 12th, 2013, from 1:00pm to 5:00pm

Items need to be prepared Camera and computer connecting cable Images

Although there might be only 2 images needed for the movie, 5 images are suggested.

Videos Two videos would be used for the movie; students are suggested to bring two videos, with each about 1 minute long.

Format convertor There is a website online that could do the conversion quickly; .mp4 and .wmv files are accepted by Windows Live Movie Maker.

Flash-drive (not necessary) If students have to borrow camera or images from others, they might need a flash-drive to save their files. Also, if they need to copy the movie they made in the workshop, a flash-drive is needed to save the projects.

Windows Live Movie MakerThe software has been already installed on the computers in the lab.

Procedure of workshop Group students

If we could have 10 girls, 2 of them will be assigned in one group. Shot picture and video

If students did not have images or videos with them, they have to take pictures and shot videos during the workshop

Convert pictures and videos If the images and videos student have were not the file type that accepted by Windows Movie Maker, they have to be converted. We would talk a little bit about why we need to convert files, as well as how to do the conversion if necessary. (We would take about 30 mins – 60 mins for preparation of images and videos.)
