Music Video Project
Lake Forest High School
Telecom- Video Production
First Semester student Final Project
Assignment: Tell a meaningful story by using effective music and visuals. Be creative in your interpretation of the song. Let your visuals tell the story. Create your song and it can be streamed online, pick a copyrighted song and it can’t be posted.
Due: 2-5 minute video that uses the tone of a song to guide your communication of a storyline that connects with a specific audience.
Goal: To combine the power of music with the visual techniques learned so far to communicate a meaningful message that makes your audience feel a specific emotion. This is not a reenactment of the lyrics, craft your story around the tone and story of the song.
