Making a movie with Movie Maker

Movie Maker is the movie making software that comes with PCs. I had previously worked with the older version of this software before this class but I have to admit the new interface of the Movie Maker is so much easier to deal with. I came prepared with my storyboard and all my pictures re-sized to class and it took no time to put together a nice educational video about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.


I chose to create a movie on Mozart because it was something I could use when teaching a General Music class to kick start a unit into the Classical Era. I chose to add a piece by Mozart to help with the full affect, so I added his "Piano Concerto In B Flat". I can totally see myself using this tool in the future for multiple reasons throughout every school year. It would be a great way for parents to see how their children interact in the classrooms for projects and/or rehearsals.
