Silent Film Project

Steps for Silent Movie Project:
1. Download the MP4 file named "Silent Movie" that was shared with you on Google Classroom.

2. Import it to Garage Band.  Then save the the Garage Band Song as your last name and silentfilm (example:  podmers_silent_film)

3. As you watch the silent movie, pay close attention to the "mood" of each scene.  Is it upbeat?  Sad?  Suspenseful?  Happy?  Then look at how long the scene is... you will want to make your sound clip/song/sound effect to match that time.  If it is 7 seconds, make your sound clip 7 seconds.

Make sure to include:
1.  EVERY part of the movie should have some sort of sound with it... no silence anywhere.

2.  Make sure it goes with the mood of the scene.  

3.  Minimum of 5 different musical "pieces"/songs/"scores."

4.  Minimum of 3 sound effects.
