Introduction to video
The Music Video

Project Overview
This is an introduction to video editing. You will be using Imovie HD to create one to two minute music videos. The videos are intended to show your ability to match up and time the lyrics of a song with the actual song. The lyrics should show up and be visible while the lyrics are being sung by the musician. Use different transitions to make the words appear. Be creative. 10th graders will also be expected to use images in their videos.

Grading
Grades will be based on the timing of the words with the music and the use of transitions, colors and imagery.


Goal
Students will complete a one to two minute video with lyrics that transition in creative ways along with the music of a song of their choice. Student will choose a song that is appropriate and fade out the end of the song. Students will understand how to:

upload music
split clips
fade music
create and transition titles
Add images
Edit images
Use the Ken Burns effect
Set timings
create a Quicktime video

Outcome
Students will post their finished quicktime video with a brief title and description to their blogs.
Students will have a basic understanding of video editing and be prepared for the next video project. Students will collaborate and work with one another to ensure that everybody has the skills to move forward.
