Even if you do not have enough photos to put in your slideshow make sure you complete the assignment with something to present. Not done will get you an incomplete which means you will still have to do the slideshow to pass the class.This assignment is worth 50 marks.
The slideshows will be shown in class on Tues April 20 and Wed April 21 no exceptions. After your slideshow you should prioritize any Photoshop work that needs to be done. Your deadline for all other assignments is the end of the week: Fri. April 23. Please email me if you were unable to complete the slideshow, or are missing any other major assignments.
Criteria for assignment:
Slideshow should include your best photos from the class. All photos should be in focus and well composed. There should be 30 shots total.
10 of these photos can be from before this class/assignment photos from the class, but the other 20 need to be recently taken photos by you.

Even if you do not have enough photos to put in your slideshow make sure you complete the assignment with something to present next week.

Lesson on PhotoStory 3: Unless you have i Movie on your computer, laptop, or phone, or another program you know how to use well, you should be using Photostory 3 program on the school computers to produce your Photo Slideshow. STUDENTS WHO TOOK THIS CLASS LAST YEAR, PLEASE HELP OUT THE OTHER STUDENTS!
MOVING PHOTOS INTO PHOTOSTORY
1. You will import your photos into Photostory by opening Photostory and going to Import Photos. Make a point of saving your project every time you go into the program to add photos or edit. Once you save your slideshow, you will find it under My Videos on your L Drive.
2.You will need to go into customize motions to edit the timing and framing of the shots. Each shot should be timed around 3.5-4 seconds in length. Try to keep your start and end positions quite close in size. If it goes from really small to really large, the slideshow will blip the photos or zoom them in and out too fast. You do not want to have your photos scrolling in and out of the frame, the less movement the better.
3. Do not use the music in Photostory (BAD CHOICE) choose from audio files on the m drive or download your own music by going to a You Tube to mp3 downloader.
4. Choose one transition and stick with it, a fade is probably best.
5. Do not use the Photostory Editor and do not over edit your photos.
6. Your working project file is a WP3 file and once you are satisfied with your slideshow you will combine the music and video by clicking next all the way to the end. Your final file name should have your name on it and be a WMV file. lisachasephotostory.wmv You do not need to type in wmv, it will do this automatically when you press next.
7. You will be saving the file to the M drive under your class folder. Make sure your name is on the video file, and it says wmv after your name. If you are using another program like i movie make sure you can transfer the file onto the school computers with a jump drive/cable and then place the file in the proper folder. Check to make sure you can do this before the day it is due.
