Photostory at school works well but takes a long time to customize the photos.

Moviemaker at school works well, but is less user friendly.

On a Mac, use  i Movie which will allow you to bring in your iTunes library, your I Photo library and is quite user friendly. When you share the movie it should be uploaded to You Tube or Vimeo for viewing. Render or Export at 720.

5. Circles: 5 shots Circles are everywhere in nature...get creative and find various shots which showcase circles in a variety of ways. ( 10 marks)
