After completing our iMovie group project, I am relieved to be finished and proud of the finished project. Savanna, Nichole, and I enjoyed the process, even though it was surely time consuming. All three of us were able to sign out cameras, and we had our storyboard completed before the shooting. Getting the interviews was exciting, especially when we get footage that really helped develop our topic of "campus parking issues."
Here are my recommendations for other groups:
- try to sign out as many cameras in your group as you can...they seem to be more flexible than they appear!
- plan out exactly how you want the movie to go...if you have a storyboard, then you do not have to question what you shoot
- plan to take the time to upload all of your footage...the amount of footage you take = the amount of time to upload (ie 40 minutes of footage = 40 minutes to upload)
- before you upload, watch all of your footage, then make notes on which parts you want to upload (then you don't waste time)
- crop, crop, crop...sometimes more is not the best...short, cut, choppy footage can sometimes enhance a project depending on the topic
Good luck with your projects when you do it...consult the Macintosh iLife 06' textbook, and feel free to ask me! :)

Great Tips Staci. And, as you already know, I loved your video. I told Scott J today that he was the star of your video last night! He's expecting to get some fan mail!!
