TGJ 2O1 - Editing with iMovie HD

Hello Class,

Here is a really straightforward video tutorial on using iMovie HD. Please view it, in your groups if you like, and then go ahead and begin editing your 3:6:9 sequence.
Don't add any transitions for now. Keep the cuts as they are (jump cuts).

Keep in mind, the ONLY clips I want in this exercise are your 3:6:9 clips of ONE SUBJECT shot from THREE distance points from THREE different angles. DO NOT edit the movie so that they appear in order. BO-ring! Mix it up. You are welcome to play around with the clips, copy them so that they appear more than once and of course the length of time each clip appears is up to you.

I'm looking for variety, creativity and imagination. The trick is to edit these clips together to make a fun quick video - it doesn't matter what subject you chose. Please work together as a group. I'd like everyone in your group to have a chance to do some editing.

Try adding music and sound effects. You will end up copying the entire sequence of your video and pasting it a few seconds after your first video ends. I'd like you to choose a completely different piece of music for the second showing. The goal is to see how much music impacts the overall feel and perception of the video.

Here's the tutorial. Have fun!
Don't mind the cheesy music and give it a few seconds to load. It's 7 minutes long. If it doesn't work, please go to the THIS LINK!
