1. Windows Live Movie Maker Workshop
Date and Time:
January 12th, 2013, from 1:00pm to 5:00pm
Items need to be prepared
 Camera and computer connecting cable
 Images
Although there might be only 2 images needed for the movie, 5 images are
suggested.
 Videos
Two videos would be used for the movie; students are suggested to bring two
videos, with each about 1 minute long.
 Format convertor
There is a website online that could do the conversion quickly; .mp4 and
.wmv files are accepted by Windows Live Movie Maker.
 Flash-drive (not necessary)
If students have to borrow camera or images from others, they might need a
flash-drive to save their files. Also, if they need to copy the movie they made
in the workshop, a flash-drive is needed to save the projects.
 Windows Live Movie Maker
The software has been already installed on the computers in the lab.
Procedure of workshop
 Group students
If we could have 10 girls, 2 of them will be assigned in one group.
 Shot picture and video
If students did not have images or videos with them, they have to take
pictures and shot videos during the workshop
 Convert pictures and videos
If the images and videos student have were not the file type that accepted by
Windows Movie Maker, they have to be converted. We would talk a little bit
about why we need to convert files, as well as how to do the conversion if
necessary.
(We would take about 30 mins – 60 mins for preparation of images and
videos.)
