Digital Storytelling

Creating with iMovie Trailers is an easy and fun way for students to learn important media literacy lessons simply by using images and videos.  "iAm" iMovie Trailer projects are the first project our Broadcast Technology students produce to introduce themselves to the class each semester.

Student "iAm" videos

"iAm" iMovie Trailer example projects

Lesson
Who are you? What do you care about? Who do you care about? What/who do love/like? What do you aspire to be? In this video project, you will tell the world, “iAm......”
Instructions
  • Find or take AT LEAST 30-40 photos or video clips to prepare for your story.
  • Make sure these photos or videos clips are on your camera roll of your MacBook Air or iPhone
  • You will not be able to access social media from school. Make sure you send these photos via Google Drive or Google Photos to your Ladue email account. 

Important notes
​
If you don’t already have photos or videos like these, go take some! Use your iPhone or an iPad. You do not need to appear in any of the visuals, but you must OWN the images or video clips. You MAY NOT just pull images from Google or any other internet source.

Directions
  1. Read & Watch the iMovie for iOS tutorial video and websites.
  2. How to create Trailers using iMovie on iOS
  3. iMovie Trailer Tutorial
  4. ​Select the film trailer theme in iMovie.
  5. Change each text area to create words or statements describing “iAm....”
  6. Use photos that build or show the audience visual images of who you are, what you care about, what you aspire to be. Ultimately saying, “iAm.”
  7. Photos or videos should be you:
  • on a vacation or trip
  • with your family
  • with your friends
  • working
  • doing a special activity or hobby
  • ​ANY combination of these ideas or ​anything else you choose ​which​ tells us the story of YOU!
  • (If you don’t already have photos like these, go take some. Use your phones!)
