Yearbook


For the final, you will be creating a composite video in iMovie. You'll be making a video with someone talking to the camera with b-roll. What is b-roll? Basically, you've got someone talking to the camera, and while they are still talking you begin to see other footage or images. Here's an example with some b-roll from CBS news. In case YouTube is still blocked, here's an non-youtube example. Notice how the footage goes from people talking to images of what they are talking about. That's use of b-roll, and that's what we are looking for on the QR content.

iMovie is pretty simple, and apple has very short tutorials on it if you need. Most the tutorial videos are only a couple of minutes long. Start getting familiar with iMovie if you've never used it. A tutorial on how to create b-roll in iMovie will be provided by one of your peers in the near future.

For the yearbook final, you will be creating a video composite in iMovie for the QR codes. The QR codes will make use of b-roll.
