Story Project

You have been hired as a video editor by Stories through Images, Inc. They want you to tell a story through video editing, using still images and a music track. The images should change on the beat of the words in the song and zoom in and out to provide movement.

Select a music track of your own, that is school appropriate, and take notice of the lyrics of what is said in the song. You will only use 2 minutes of the song. You are going to tell a story through moving images based on what is being said in the song. A new image will appear with the different things being said in the song. Go on-line and find images that relate to your song to tell the story. Add a title a the beginning to introduce the video or add some titles throughout the video. Editing video to the beat of music or to words is a basic skill that is used in all levels of video production. Remember to alternate zooming in and out with each image. Remember to fade up your first image from black and fade out you last image to black.

As you work, save your project as a Premiere Project file (.PRPROJ) and name it last name +first initial + story. Export the media using H.264  (ex: adamsbstory.MP4). Share the exported file
