Multimedia 'Victorians'

Year 6 students from Little Heaton Primary School visited Middleton City Learning Centre in the autumn term to continue their work on creating a multimedia project 'The Victorians' using Apple's iMovie software.

The day began with a discussion on what part of the Victorian era students wanted to focus on. When each student had decided on a theme they collected and wrote down key words to use to search for images on the Internet. After choosing a selection of images and pictures the students were introduced to Apple's iMovie software. Students were shown how to produce a time-line, add images, create different effects and how to add titles, word panels and transitions to their presentation. Finally, they were shown how to create simple audio/music files which they could add to their presentation. All the presentations were saved to CD for the school and a DVD containing all the films and photographs taken of the activity was also produced.
