Music Video Assignment

Major Assignment #1  - DUE MARCH 27, 2015

Assignment: To create a MUSIC VIDEO

How to get started:  Your video can be completed individually or you may work with a group of up to five. Your video can be on any topic as long as it is not dangerous or inappropriate to videotape. You may check out a camera from the Cyber Campus or library to use for making your video. You will have class time to edit your project. A sign up sheet is located outside the classroom door to borrow a camera. (NO SONGS WITH BAD LANGUAGE)

Grading: In order to receive full credit for your music video, it must include the following parts:

1.       Your video must be between 2 and 5 minutes long.

2.       It must include at least 2 titles that fade in and out or transition to the next clip.

3.       It must begin with a fade from black and end with a fade to black.

4.       It must include transitions other than a cut between clips.

5.       It must include at least 1 special effect from the video effects palette.

6.       It may include pictures or other video (from the Internet or other sources), but it must include video that is shot by your group.
