Now Playing……at a theatre near you! Activity 20
You have been hired to promote new movies at your school for the local theatre. Your task is to make an interactive PowerPoint that advertises 8 movies and provide information about each movie on a separate slide.
Use the following criteria for creating your presentation…………..
1. Find an Internet site that has a listing of the current movies playing in local theaters. http://entertainment.msn.com/movies/ is just one site that you can use. No pictures should have inappropriate content. All movies should have a release date in the year 2014.
2. Create a title slide that has a word art title “Now Playing” on slide 1.
3. Add footer with your name, now playing to all slides.
4. On slide 2, provide a list in a table format the 8 movies you have chosen. After you have created the slide for each movie (see specific directions below), hyperlink each movie to the slide created for that movie.
5. Create a movie information slide for each of the 8 movies you selected. On each movie slide, add phrases, pictures, or interesting points about the movie that would entice a person to go see the movie. You should include the title of the movie, the rating of the movie, and a picture that represents the movie.
6. Use the site www.filmratings.com to locate the rating of each movie. After locating the rating information, create a slide for each movie that reveals why this movie was rated the way it was rated. (8 slides—one per movie title!)
7. On the movie information slide, hyperlink the rating of the movie to the slide that reveals the rating information of each movie.
8. Add an Action Button on the information slides that will take you back to slide 2.
9. Add an Action Button on each Film Rating Slide that takes you to the particular movie you are revealing the ratings for.
10. Play your presentation to make sure all links are working links and the action buttons are linking to the correct slide.
11. Save your presentation as Now Playing.
12. Print in handout mode, 6 slides per page. Your presentation will be graded from viewing the presentation.
