What is Digital Media?
Create an edited video in Adobe Premiere. The concept of the video is "What is Digital Media?" You will use the MP3 audio file Galleria Long located to the right as your audio track. Select images on-line that relate to the "Big 5" areas of Digital Media (graphics, animation, audio, video, web design). All images must be resized to 720 x 480 in Photoshop before importing them into Premiere. All images must move within the edited video (left/right, up/down, in/out). No black boarders should show at any time around the images. Experiment with transitions between each picture. Your video will be :30 seconds in length. Your video and audio should fade in at the beginning and fade out at the end of the timeline (you will use the entire song for this project so only your video will need to be faded up/down). Export your completed video as a MP4 file and save it as first initial + last name + dmvid (ex. lmillermvid.mp4) in your video folder. Add the final video to your Portfolio folder as well once completed. Submit your final video in the classroom.

Everywhere Man Video Project
You have been hired as a video editor by J Cash Inc. They want you to create a promotional video for their travel agency on all the fun places you can visit. You are to follow the directions given by the project manager for the target audience to complete the project. Once complete then you should review the checklist for grading criteria before turning in your work. Complete and submit the online rubric for this project once it has been completed.
Use the linked files to the right to save the song and song lyrics to your video folder. Work in groups of two for this project. Take 10 pictures of each other on the green screen. DO NOT STAND CLOSE TO THE GREEN SCREEN OR YOU WILL HAVE A GREEN TINT ON THE CLOTHES. Make each picture a different pose, be creative. You should have a total of 20 pictures. Each person should save the pictures of themselves on their flash drive in your Video folder. Open the pictures in Photoshop. Layer Mask the green background so that you appear on a transparent background. Do this for all of your picture poses. Save each picture as a Photoshop file (.psd) in your Video folder (first initial+last name + pic 1, pic 2, etc). Open Premiere. Create a new project called Everywhere. Import the "I've been everywhere" song. Edit the audio for the section you want to use, but you must use the slow open for the beginning, the chorus, a list of cities, and the chorus again. You can use Audition to edit the audio if you prefer. Go online and find pictures to match the song lyrics. Open those pictures in Photoshop. Create a template of 720 x 480. Add your photos to the template and insert the various poses of each of you. You will have to resize the images with transform. If the pictures are blurry or pixelated once they have been resized then you cannot use them and you must find different pictures. You can not repeat background pictures. Save each photo with you in the picture as JPEG files. Import the JPEG scenes with you in them into Premiere. Edit the photos on the beat of the voice to complete the project. The photos should alternate between each person in your group, so you will need to plan ahead for this. Each person will work for 45 minutes on Premiere then switch and the next person will pick up where it was left off. 2 people work on the same project. It will require a lot of Photoshop work so planning ahead to maximize your time and efforts. Save this project as last name of each person in the group + everywhere. Export as a .MP4 file at full size 720 x 480 and again small size 320 x 240. Add the final videos to your Portfolio folder as well. Submit the small video in the classroom. Project Objective

What NOT To Do!
Videos are a great way to teach someone how to do something, be it simple or complex. You and your group need to come a topic that you can create a video around on something that happens at EDHS and what NOT to do. Make sure you know who your audience is going to be and create your video accordingly. Start by watching the example video below.
You will be working in groups of three to four for this project. As a team, decide on a subject matter that appeals to all of your members. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR TOPIC APPROVED BY MRS. MILLER BEFORE YOU START. Do your research (if needed) about your topic to come up with a 60-second video that will accurately match your topic. You will first create a storyboard and a script detailing the order of your shots and text. You must turn this in first in order to check out a camera. Don't forget that your video should have proper shot composition and camera techniques! For each portion, you will need text describing the video to the audience and you will need an intro part of your video with text. When you are finished with the What NOT to do Video Project, review the rubric to make sure you are meeting all of the requirements. Save the project with all of the last names from your group + whatNOTtodo. Export the media to a mp4 format (ex: millermillerwhatNOTtodo.mp4). Submit the exported video to the classroom. |
