Final Exam Project Instructions

*BEFORE BEGINNING PHOTO STORY please make sure your Glog is linked to my blog.
Process:
* Spend the first 25 minutes uploading any images you plan to use. Save them to your folder.
* Once you have selected your images, you may begin crafting your project. Use the following steps to create a Photo Story project:

1. Go to Start.
2. Go to All Programs.
3. Go to Media Programs. If you do not have this, go to Microsoft Office.
4. Go to Photo Story 3 for Windows.
5. Make sure the green dot is in the Begin New Story circle.
6. Click Next.
7. Import your pictures (import all your pictures at one time).
8. Use the tools at the bottom of the image box to make any changes to the images. You may want to remove the black borders or rotate the pictures.
9. Once all your images are imported and you have altered them to your liking, hit Next.
10. Type in the quotes you want to include. Hit the A button to pick the size, font, and color of the text. Make sure the quotes are readable. You do not need to include page numbers.
11. You can also change the effect at this stage just hit Effect.
12. Hit Next.
13. Customize your motions. This is like a zoom effect.
14. Hit Next.
15. Add music. You can bring your own in (I am not 100% sure how to do this, but we can usually figure it out), OR simply use the music they provide. If you bring your own in you can only use 30 seconds of each song (copyright) and you would go to Select Music. If you use the music the program provides go to Create Music.
15. Save your project to my flash drive today. DO NOT SAVE IT TO YOUR STUDENT FILE. You will be unable to open it later.
16. When you are ENTIRELY DONE with the story, let me know, and I will show you how to save it for formal playback.
