Music+Video

= MUSIC VIDEOS = toc

OVERVIEW
Your task is to create a 3 – 5 minute music video using Adobe Premiere Pro, a digital camera, and various image and sound media.

Your video must:
 * Follow each of the stages listed below in the Activity/Process section.
 * Tell a story OR be visually appealing. It should not simply be a bunch of random shots placed together. The story must have a beginning, middle, and end. It could be a simple as “boy meets, girl, boy loses girl, girl returns to boy.”
 * Include a workload that is equal across all group members
 * BE APPROPRIATE and APPROVED before you may begin filming.
 * Any inappropriate content will result in an automatic failing mark for this assignment. When in doubt, the answer is no.
 * Include audio.... that just makes sense
 * Be exported as a 720p 24fps file for YouTube
 * Be unique
 * Include credits with the following
 * The name of your movie o Group members names
 * TGJ4M Productions
 * Credits may appear before or after the video

RULES
• You may film (take pictures) of scenes off school property outside of class time. You will not be given extra time to do so and must use your own photo equipment. • Group members will be responsible for their own share of work. Each group will be responsible for making arrangements in the case of being absent from class.

Be sure to follow these steps IN ORDER to ensure you complete the project on time and get the highest mark possible

 * 1) Read this article in the New York Times about the importance of music videos on YouTube.
 * 2) Meet with your group and discuss project ideas • Meet with your group and discuss ideas that you would like to use to create your movie. You will need to come up with one idea that all group members can agree on.
 * **Timeline : 1 period**
 * 1) Create a proposal that you will present to your teacher
 * After you have come up with your idea, it is time to get it down on paper.
 * Create a proposal that includes your movie idea, your photos descriptions, and the music you plan on using for your movie.
 * Use the pre-production template that has been shared with your group in Google Docs.
 * Select a director (you), camera operators, and identify the actors you will require.
 * **Timeline: 1 period**
 * 1) Create a storyboard for your movie that you will present to your teacher. Storyboarding is the process of producing sketches of the shots of your script. The end result looks like comic book of your film (without the speech bubbles). Use the pre-production template provided to create a storyboard for your movie. Each group member is responsible for creating the storyboard for their particular scene.
 * 2) See your teacher to sign out a digital camera and/or notify them of your shooting locations.
 * You will now begin taking the images that you will need for your movie. All footage must be filmed at 1080p 24fps. You will be editing at 720p 24fps.
 * During school time you must notify your teacher exactly where you will be taking images and MUST remain on school property.
 * While in the hallways remain quiet as there are still classes in process.
 * Any incidents that break these rules will result in some, or all, of the group members having to remain in the classroom.
 * Download all footage to your local disk at the end of each class.
 * Download/Rip any music that you will need for this project.
 * You will have to bring in any music that you would like to include in your movie. The most reliable file formats are .mp3, .wav, and .wmv. If you have the song on a CD, bring it in and we can convert it to the proper format.
 * ** Timeline for stages 5 and 6: 4 periods **
 * 1) Edit your movie using Premiere Pro. Remember that each group member should be responsible for a different scene. See your teacher if this will not be possible. REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN to your local disk
 * 2) Export and submit your movie using the setting provided.
