Before starting, you will have to download Audacity for sound
editing. If you are a Windows user and you don't have Movie Maker,
you need to download that. If you are a Mac user and you don't have
iMovie, you need to download that software. Window's Media Player
and Real Player should be downloaded to guarantee you can listen to
sound on those sites that support those players. Some of the
downloads will require
Adobe
Reader, a free software that allows you to view PDFs.
- Create a folder somewhere safe on your computer and
name it movie or something reasonable to help you locate it
later.
- You will be given access to a variety of short, educational
videos or sound online. Some teachers might choose to
put videos and sound in a file stored in their public
drive. Videos can be pre-selected and made available from
sources such as
United Streaming. The
Resource page has several audio options. It is important to
find a sound clip that is roughly two minutes. Finding
images and short video clips to create something more than two
minutes could be tedious and very time consuming.
- Once you have found the audio presentation that you want to
visually compliment you can do one of the following:
- If the sound is downloadable from the site, you can
right click on the sound icon and choose File |
Save Target As. Open the folder you should have already
created in step one and name the sound something practical.
- If it is a video, you need to look at the lesson that
demonstrates how to feed music into Audacity. Download
