Using Movie Maker, produce a short (2-5 minute) movie. Use the focus and purpose your identified earlier in this workshop. Begin by expanding the mindmap you developed in unit 7 into a storyboard. [|"Professor Monkey"] tells us: "the key to finishing a quality video is to start with pre-production" . To view more of [|Professor Monkey's] advice and wise insights, [|click here.] Additional resources on the use and development of a storyboard are included at the bottom of this page.

Once your storyboard is complete, go to moviemaker and make your story come to life!



**The content of your movie may include: **
 * your photographs
 * your video
 * your voice as narrator

In addition you may choose to add music or sound-effects. You can record your own or download or purchase them from a site on the WEB. **Here are a couple of sites that offer music and sound effects: **
 * [|Partners in Rhyme]
 * [|Stonewashed.net]
 * [|Free Play Music] (source of the music on the workshop announcement and the two movies in unit 6)
 * [|MusicFrost.com]

**In addition you can find graphics, animations and photos on the web. For example: **

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">[|graphics]
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">[|Microsoft Graphics]

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Before you begin exploring these sites - use your storyboard to plan your movie and know what you are looking for. Finally if you are looking for discipline specific images a google search: with the term images followed by the discipline usually produces results.



<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">However, these types of images often need to be purchased. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">When you have produced your movie and posted it to [|YouTube] --> Go to Sharing and Reflection
