It looks complex, but iMovie really isn't as difficult as it seems. The program has several templates available. All you have to do is plug in your own clips and add whatever effects you want. The trailers are shorter, but you can make longer movies if you choose. Also, if you're having trouble, Apple has support available. You can make your own videos that are very polished for whatever your desired purpose is - educational, family videos, etc.
My desired purpose in the future would be classroom oriented. How cool would it be if your students could make videos like this? They would be so motivated and proud of their final projects. Students could make movies on book reports, science experiments, etc. I could send videos to parents to keep them involved. I could also use iMovie to make videos for the flipped classroom, which is a topic I discussed in a previous post. The possibilities are endless with iMovie.
I'm glad I got more hands-on experience with iMovie this semester, because I definitely want to use it in my future classroom. I'll be using it more in the coming weeks as my group and I make our PSA for this class. What is your group doing for the PSA project? Feel free to comment and share your ideas.
