Music Video Assignment
Music video assignment is a fun project. It is extremely important that you begin now and work to keep ahead of the deadlines.
- Step One: select a song that has a great beat and a lot of people know the words to. It is important that you begin seeing shots in your mind as you listen to the music. This will help you tell a story or pick shots to help the music video along.
- Step Two: You will need an MP3 player (iPod) and load the song on to it. Play the music back over a speaker so you can hear the music.
- Step Three: Edit the cool video you shot to the song. Pretty cool. The final video is dues december 10-13. Please note, these deadlines are different that posted on your sheet. Or at least one class handout.
Grading rubric: song must be three to six minutes longs. No unacceptable words may be used. Use radio edits. No illegal acts in your video. Must be 50% lip syncing. As we said in class, you are the producer. Hire the best actors, camera operators, helpers you can. You are also the editor. You may work in groups, but each of you must produce a separate video. You do not have to be in the video, only produce and edit it.
