At the end of six sessions, students will produce a short finished film in which they have edited video footage, used backgrounds and titles effectively, added appropriate audio tracks, and demonstrated thoughtful use of transitions.Class Experience
In this five-hour course, students will be introduced to iMovie's video editing software program, and create their own short video by the end of the course. The class will be hands-on, with live demonstration and then time for students to work with the tools themselves. Mini "exploration" assignments will be given between sessions to ensure students have explored the tools taught during the session. Session 1: Instructor will demonstrate how to start a new iMovie project. Importing video, creating a new event folder, naming conventions, and how to locate downloaded footage will be reviewed. Basic essential skills such as cutting clips, copying clips, and adding transitions will be introduced. Session 2: Review of session 1 to check for understanding; students can share any practice video they have shot. Use of backgrounds and split screen will be demonstrated, as well as titles and text options. Important skills such as proper lighting and camera angles will be reviewed. Homework: Students will begin filming their own independent projects. Session 3: Students and Instructor will work in small breakout rooms for more individual attention and provide suggestions for continued recoding, or discuss and share as a group, depending on student preference. Students will then work on making their own titles and credits. Homework: Students will continue videotaping their short films, edit the footage and adding additional titles/credits. Session 4: Bringing it all together. After a short discussion and reminders of common 'beginner" errors and how to avoid them, students will be in "workshop mode" to complete their own mini-films that incorporate all skills taught. Instructor will provide support, critique, and open discussion to all classmates for creative collaboration toward finished student projects. If time allows, students can choose to share their projects with classmates. All students when finished can then share their videos to a personal YouTube channel or create a .mp4 file suitable for sharing/emailing to friends and family. Requirements for course: Students should have iMovie mobile app for iPad/iPhone. PLEASE Note there is a different course for students who have the more robust version of iMovie on a laptop/desktop, as the iPad/iPhone iMovie app has limited tools and a different interface, and laptop/desktop users would benefit greatly from the other Basics class specific to iMovie laptop users.
Learning Goals
At the end of six sessions, students will produce a short finished film in which they have edited video footage, used backgrounds and titles effectively, added appropriate audio tracks, and demonstrated thoughtful use of transitions.

I have been teaching iMovie for over ten years, and my middle school students frequently win local and state-wide film competitions, largely attributed to their skillful use of many of iMovie's tools that take their student films to much more mature, advanced levels that rival their peers.
