Pick your favorite song (school appropriate, please) and create an animated story for two minutes of the song’s content. The student may choose from the following 3 options:
- Draw 10-15 line drawings and import them into Photoshop, then paint them to tell the song’s story
- Take 20-25 still photos- convert them to B/W, then paint them in Photoshop and use them to tell the song’s story.
- Shoot 5 scenes of 20-30 seconds each for your music video using cast and crew of your choice. These 5 scenes tell the story of your music video.
Turn in your Shot List or Storyboard to me or to Edmodo.com before you start shooting/drawing.
Import all the photos or drawings into Abobe Premiere and set up your animations, transitions, and use the drawings/photos to tell the song’s story as it plays.
Please include:
- Ken Burns style animations for each image (panning and zooming)
- fade in or fade outs for all images, drawings, or scenes
- movement (position animation) for each slide based on song
- video effects for 3 of the 5 video scenes if you choose to shoot digital video
Each photo or drawing must show for at least 5-6 seconds so your audience can ‘read’ it and understand your song’s story.
Extra Credit (25-50 points): Ad all the song’s actual lyrics and animate them as your pics play.
