we did like 3 assigned computer presentations so far for history and you can make some for extra credit and here's mine:

Microsoft powerpoint. Hundred Years War (Wanted to do Black Death but we passed that already) The title appears breifly, then fades away as it drops down. Black background. Another image fades in and fades away just as quickly (probably a war scene) The Halo 3 trailer is playing in another window, providing sound. I move some pictures of men across the screen as the "Do you ever wonder what's up there? Maybe someone up there is wondering what it's like here. I guess so, do you think we'll ever meet them *quick image of enemy* I hope so, don't you?"

Right when the screaming rocket hits the ground in the background sound, a building is seen and pictures are moved towards the entrance and i make them dissappear as if entering the building (they have awesome PowerPoint Pro) Some images get rotated laterally, as if falling down.

The scene shifts to show some hills with men in the distance (I'll jsut use black circles) which slowly creep over the hill. I'll put some lines in the picture and make them fly towards the building like arrows. By this time the trailer is done the enemies are there (I'll cough or something to cover up the shield grenade and "Game not yet rated" sounds :wink: )

I then play the music from Halo (still have not found the right one) and the men run back out of the building, now shown with weapons. The camera pans over to the picture of the hills and enemies (I think I'll use frenchies since they advanced) are bursting towards the soldiers in far greater numbers (3 to 1)

*Numerous fighting scenes*

When the music is almost done then I will have the Frenchies run away. When the music is completely done I will fade the background to black and the words "Do you think We'll ever meet them" willl fade in, moving to the left, and fade back out.

Credits (posssible music)

It should be about four minutes long, calculated by the length of the trailer providing sounds and the halo music. All these are done with pictues that I found on google, and the cute little pictures and shapes Microsoft provides

Why don't you just take the sound from the Halo 3 trailer and put that in the back of your powerpoint? :|

Revision:

Act 1:   1 minute long. Halo 3 Trailer provides sound. Shows some English guys in a fortification or city whatever talking or just sitting around whatever's easier. The screeching missle from the trailer will be a catapult slammnig the wall from the Frenchies. The English run outside

Act 2:   2 minutes long. So Cold is playing. Shows them approaching and when it slows down (music) I show all the Englsihmen's faces and them walking and stuff. When it goes Doo-doo-doo-doodoodoo-doodoodoo-doodoodoo-doodoodoodoooooo i show quick flashes of fighting.

Act 3:   2 minutes longFighting and explosions and guys getting hit by arrows and swordfights.

Act 4:    1 minute long. Shows Frenchies (I love that word) retreating.
