PRESENT YOUR FINAL USING ENCORE
- What do you need to do in Encore to complete the final?
- Complete the flow chart (Graded)
- Start the DVD with a Copyright statement.
- Then show a brief introduction movie about your experience creating your final. Make sure and point out any cool parts of your movie that you want to draw my attention to.
- Then go to the Main Menu
- The Movie should play from the main menu.
- You should have a Chapter's Menu
- There should be a transition between the Main Menu and any other menus you include.
- The transition can consist of a 2 to 3 second movie that says where you are going. So, if you click on the "Photoshop Menu" then the transition should say "Photoshop".
- Include your Photoshop work from the year in the DVD. It can be on a menu or in a slideshow.
- Include your After Effects work from the year in the DVD.
- Every button should work. IF you don't need the button delete it.
- Work to impress me with your Encore work. Try new things. Be creative. Ask for help if you have an idea and you aren't sure how to do it.
Good luck,
