Erin was having a shot of the ipad at home over the Easter holidays. She was playing with a couple of friends and they made a news programme using iMovie. They chatted together about the news items that would be on their programme and locations for the different items. They then chose a theme in iMovie which gave them music and titles that were in a news programme style. After that they filmed the introduction and the various stories as different clips. Finally they edited them and put them together as one movie, adding in title slides. They had a good understanding of some of the features of the genre, introducing items in an appropriate style. The news items themselves related to a range of things e.g. Ripley's Believe it or not (which her friend was reading), Easter eggs, a singing baby and so on. It was a lot of fun and we had a bit of a laugh at the final product.
