On the positive side of i-Movie
Use this opportunity to create a well thought out short film. Be creative. Use the i-movie program to adjust your images such as fade in/out, or add music and sound effects. Search the internet for add-on's, sound files, and other video clips you might use. Think if you want a fun, or useful, or silly, or informative film before you start. You will work in groups, and everyone must appear in the film at some point in time. Everyone must use the camera and be involved in the production and editing.
