Stop Motion

1st grade lesson overview:

Stop motion is a filmmaking technique made up of individually photographed frames that capture objects that are manipulated in small increments.  When these photographs are played consecutively, they create a film.  In the art room, students use the iMovie application to make their own stop motion.  Before starting on the iPad, students planned out a story on a worksheet.  After completing the worksheet, students created a background and characters using color paper, scissors, coloring materials, and glue.
