 * Your theme is “Environmental Problems and Solutions.” Please be sure your iMovie represents both parts of your topic.
 * You need 25-30 pictures for your movie. Please be sure that the pics you use are not blurry and are not from a copyrighted source (those have the writing through, may be blemished or pixilated, or may have difficulty downloading). Make sure they fit the theme or your project. Also make sure you get the highest quality .jpg pics. Do not use the thumbnail pics.
 * Create a folder on the desktop to be saved in a flash drive so you can drag your pictures to this folder.
 * There are a few different ways to search for your pictures. One way would be to just use Google and use their images. You may also use **[|cooliris.com]** to locate pictures, but make sure you head to the site so you can research that site.
 * You must include a 5-picture minimum that is authored by you or your partner. You can use digital pics from a camera or even your cell phone. There are numerous ways to get these pics into your movie. If you have questions please ask.
 * I am challenging you to use a short video clip(s) from a digital video camera or flip camera that add content to your movie. This is not a requirement, but major extra credit will be given.
 * You will need music and sound throughout the movie. Remember that music you listen to is copyrighted and you will only be able to use 30 seconds of that music. There are sound effects and short bits of music that is included in the iMovie app.
 * Another option to explore for music is the Garage Band application on the Mac. You can create your own soundtrack using this app. Give it a try.
 * There is also a few sites that will give you “Royalty-free” music which means the music is not copyrighted. You should be able to find music on here that may “sound” like current chart toppers, but is generic music that can be used longer than 30 seconds.
 * Each movie also needs to have some sort of voiceover included in the movie. This can be done through the iMovie or Garageband app. You can also try websites like **[|Vocaroo]** to see if you can use voiceovers from there??
 * Your slides will need to have written information included on them to understand what each picture or group of pictures is representing.
 * You must have an original title and both authors/creators’ names either on title page or on the credit page.
 * You must also include a credits page at the end that includes sources of where each picture came from.
 * There will also be a separate Word document that has a bibliography table which will cite all sources of the video.

=If there are solutions out there that may be just ideas please use those as well!!! Make sure to give each picture credit in your //__Bibliography__//!!!!=
