4. From the options on the next screen, select your preferences for view options, subtitles, and other film information that you would like available to your students, then click the "Add to Order" button.
5. Repeat these steps for all needed films.
6. Once you have added all needed films to your cart, go to the "You" tab and click "Cart" to review your requested films and add any necessary annotations.  You can also remove films from your cart at this time.
7. Use the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page to choose how long you will need the films (two weeks is the default), then give your order a name and click the "Submit Order" button on the right side of the page.
8. You will receive an email from Lumière with links to the films and a reminder about Lumière's terms of use.  You may only post the links in Canvas.  They cannot be shared with students in any other way.
