Stop Motion Video
You are going to create a 30 second to 1 minute long stop-motion video with your partner on the concept of one of the following code of conduct concepts:
Group A: Responsibility
Group B: Plan Ahead
Group C: Be in class every day and on time
Group D: Honor School and personal property
Group E: Integrity
Group F: Treat yourself and others with respect
Group G: Be honest
Group H: Commitment
Group I: Achieve academic success
Group J: Participate in school activities and contribute to community
Group K: Maintain a focused effort
Group L: Stand up for what is right
Your story must have a beginning, middle and end with relatable music to tell the story of the concept assigned.
Since stop motion video is essentially several photographs sped up during a slide show to create the sense of movement, you will take numerous photos.
To get the stop motion feel, you will need to take 3 photographs per second- so, a 30 second video would be 90 images and a minute long stop motion video is 180 frames.
Your video must have some illusion of animation- ie surfing across the football field, flying in the air, dancing shoes, drawing etc. It takes time to do so- BE PATIENT. The more time you plan and spend in the shooting stage, the better the final outcome.
Take your photographs on a tripod, staying in one place. You can do two different areas with your thirty seconds, just be sure they relate somehow.

To make your stop motion video in iMovie (see below for thumbnails):
1. File > new project > create
2. File > project properties > initial photo placement > fit in frame (take off the Ken Burns style/ on bottom)
3. Click on the camera icon on the middle right hand side of iMovie > Drag the photographs from the stop motion into the top left workspace
4. Change the time duration between each slide by pressing on the wheel on the corner of one of the images. Select "clip adjustments" and change the timing from the default of 4s to .3s and apply to all.
5. Preview how it looks by using the arrow button below the workspace- add or delete any photos that don't make sense
6. Add music to the stop motion video by clicking on the music icon on the right hand side of iMovie and scroll down to sample what you want to use. Drag the clip to the workspace on the top left.
