A storyboard is a graphic representation of how a video will unfold, shot by shot.
It includes a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a video production. Think of it as sort of a comic book version of your script. As part of the writing process, it is critical that students draft a storyboard before they begin recording. |

The iMovie home screen has three main tabs at the top of the screen: Video, Projects and Theater.
The first tab, Video, displays all video clips that are stored on the device. Any videos recorded with the iPad will automatically be stored under this section. The second tab, Projects, is where you will go to create a movie project or where you will go to find a project that you have already created are in the process of editing. The third tab, Theater, is where your finished movie project goes after you have "exported" it. You can watch the finished project from your device in this tab or you may choose to stream it to an Apple TV. |
STEP 2
You will have the option to create a new project in the form of either a Movie or a Trailer. A Movie allows the user the option to combine videos, photos, and music to make a movie. A Trailer allows the user to follow a template to create a Hollywood-style movie trailer. Tap on the Movie icon on the left-side of the screen to select the Movie option. |
Step 3
The Moments page will then appear. This page will show all videos and pictures that are currently stored on the device. Any media that you wish to include in your project you can select by tapping. A blue circle with a check-mark will appear instantly on the media after you tap it. After you have finished selecting all the media you wish to include in the project, tap on the "Create Movie" tab (bottom of the Moments page). Note: You do not need to select all of the media you wish to import into your project at this time. You can always add later. Instructions to follow. Tip: Images that have a small camera icon in the bottom left corner and a number in the bottom right corner (refers to the length of the video clip) are videos. Images without the camera and number are photo images. |
The image below highlights the playback monitor area.
It will display the video at the playhead in the timeline. |
The image below highlights the timeline area. This is where you build and edit your project.
Videos and images will appear as image thumbnails. Audio clips, such as background music, narration and sound effects, appear as thin bars at the bottom of the timeline. |
A theme is a collection of titles and transitions designed to enhance the look of your movie.
To set the a theme for your movie, tap the Gear button in the top right corner to open the Project Settings. You will then be prompted to select one of five themes: Modern, Bright, Playful, Neon, Travel, Simple and News. To change the theme for an existing iMovie project, follow the steps on the following page: You can switch the Theme Music on or off. You can also set your project to fade in from a black screen and fade out to a black screen as well if you wish. |
To add audio to your project, tap the Add button in the top right corner to open the Media Settings.
At the bottom of the page, there are two small icons: Media and Audio. Tap on the Audio icon (audio browser shown in the image to the right). You will then be prompted to select one of the audio sources: Theme Music, Sound Effects, Playlists, Albums, Artists, Songs and iCloud Drive. Note: You can also access media stored in your Google Drive. Select: the Add button > Audio > iCloud Then, go to Locations (top left corner) > Drive |
The Timeline is where you edit your movie by adding, arranging and trimming video, audio, and photos.
Scrub through the Timeline Swiping left or right on the timeline, called "scrubbing", lets you move through all the clips you've added to make your movie. Zoom in or Out Pinch two fingers closed on the timeline to zoom out and see more clips at once. Pinch out to zoom in for more detailed editing. Play or Go to Previous Clip Use the Play button to play your video. Tap the Previous Clip button to join back through the timeline clip by clip. |

iMovie allows you to add text to any video clip or photo in a project.
Tap the clip or image from the timeline that you wish to add text to. Then, tap the Titles button in the inspector and choose the desired text style. Under the title types you can select to either Center or Lower the text. Note: Text remains onscreen for the duration of the video clip or photo unless you edit the length. |
Access to iCloud is disabled on DPCDSB iPads.
You may wish to consider either using the AirDrop feature to share a finished product to a personal Apple device or my preference would be Google Drive. Note: There is nothing to prevent a different user from going onto the iPad and editing or deleting an iMovie project. |
In short, the version of iMovie that we have does not allow us to access a green screen feature within it. However, the DP App Store does have an app called Do Ink that does!
All you need is a green screen to get started. You can make one out of green material. In the past I have made them out of construction paper, bristol board, a sheet from Fabricland. One can complete a green screen video in Do Ink and then open up the published video in iMovie. Once in iMovie, the video can be added to any presentation. Here is a link to the Do Ink site that explains more about green screening. |
Here are a series of tutorials to help you get started with Do Ink:
