 * "Title." Personal photo. Date of picture.**

 * "Fur Elise." Personal Rendition. February 28, 2011.**

8. **Make a title page** by dragging the title onto the top of a picture. The picture will appear in the editing window with text. Write what you want. Choose the font, color and size. 9. **Add your vignette**. This is the main part of the project. You have to divide up your vignette and place it on blank or picture clips. Mostly, you will use the Centered Text option. Copy and paste a piece of your writing on the blank clip. Read the text to yourself and adjust the seconds on the screen by using the cog wheel on the screen. Use pictures and text to make it artistic. Make sure it is legible from a distance and the writing is clearly visible on the background you choose. 10, **Add Transitions** by using the Transition button. Customize them for each gap, or only use them on some gaps. Use at least two. Remember that the time between screens will be affected by transitions. 11, **Add in Your background music.**Drag your music into ITunes and drag it onto the screen from there. You can customize the level.
 * 7. Choose TEXT ** —the T icon. Create blank screens by dragging the Text in between pictures. A group of blank choices will appear. Choose the one you want.

When you are ready, return the cursor to the beginning and press “record.” Lay your voice onto the imovie.
 * 12. THE LAST AND HARDEST PART: ADD YOUR VOICE. ** Play the Imovie, practicing your reading. Adjust the length of each clip to the amount of time you need to read EXPRESSIVELY. Use pauses for effect; don’t rush!!

You can delete anything you’ve done by selecting it, double-clicking, and hitting “delete selection.” If you don’t like your audio, delete it and try again. Imovie will automatically turn down the music so your voice is louder. Speak into the mic.


 * 13. You must cite all music and pictures! If they are personal pictures, name them and say, “personal photograph” You can use easy bib or other citation programs. Include citations at the end of your movie. **
