How to film your brilliant idea – workshop slides and example video clips

Here are the slides and example video clips used in the workshop that I teach to introduce people to creating short online films. The workshop uses iMovie 09, making all of the techniques illustrated in the clips achievable even by those without previous experience (cut aways, picture in picture, sound effects, titles, transitions). The workshop is principally for people wanting to create films that present an argument or an idea, attempting to convince the audience. Note that the participants first create their introduction, then their conclusion, and finally they add the main body of the movie, the narrative. They should be able to create the intro and conclusion within 3 hours, and may even create a complete movie.
