Native American Photostory Documentary: Gathering Pictures |
You can use several sources for pictures for your video.
Books. Books area good source of pictures, maybe the best because they offer detailed drawings or large pictures which are much better than you might be able to find on the internet. The easiest way to get pictures from a book to the computer is to just use a digital camera and take a picture of the picture! Then download the picture from the camera to a folder on your computer and you have good images to use in your video.
Internet. You can also find images using Bing or Google searches. However, be sure to find LARGE pictures to use. If you use small pictures, they will be "pixelated" in your video. That means they will look fuzzy and blotchy and it will be hard (if not impossible) to see any details.
Always look for pictures that are at least 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels high.
