Issue: Every year Carmel College takes all year 12 students to a week long camp in National Park. The students do lots of activities in subjects such as Biology, History and English. They also tramp the Tongariro crossing (weather permitting). Thorough out the week students and teachers will take photos and videos of the activities. Mrs DiCesare, the camp leader wants you to produce a DVD to commemorate the camp. The DVD will be sold to year 12 students.

Serif and sans-seif

.
A serif is a flick added to the tips of the lines that make up the letters. It is one of the oldest fonts, it has been around since 1200 and was used in news papers etc.


Sans-serif fonts do not have any serifs at all (“sans” being French for “without”). Sans-serif fonts are the most appropriate family for use online. Which basically means that they have no flicks at the end.

Fonts

I will be using Times New Roman in bold, as it can be used for important information that needs to stand out e.g. where the camp was, and what year levels went on that camp etc.

I will be using the fantasy font for all the adventures to show how typical or fun it was and to also make the DVD more fun to view.


I will also be using Calibri in Italic to explain/show epic moments.

Carmel history and CD procedures

HISTORY

In 1957 the long held dream of the sisters of mercy to establish a catholic girls school on the noprth shore was realised. On land purchased by the Poynton Family, Sr. Mary Justine Gillies was given the mission of founding Carmel College initially with 15 students and no actual classrooms. Sr. Justine gathered dedicated teaching sisters and as the school grew, these sisters were joined by the first full time lay-teacher, Mrs. Verena Butler, in 1963

To add images you must click on import pictures and then the image will appear under where it says collection then drag the picture and put it in one of the timeline boxes below.

The timeline has 2 different views, the first one is where you edit your music video and images but the second one is where you enter all the pictures.

You can add sound by clicking on the import audio or music button above on the left hand side and then you can cut to where you want the music to stop.

For transitions and effects I will use the page curl up left because it looks more professional and it’s like flicking through a album yourself.

To enter a title you must click on Edit movie, make titles or credits and then title at the beginning. After that you may enter your title.
