Project 7 - MUSIC MONTAGE

The purpose of this project is to create an audio AND picture project in which you create a music slideshow. You will be setting songs to pictures. Each picture in your slideshow will be related to what is happening in the music.

This is NOT A SCROLLING "WEDDING VIDEO" in which pictures transition every 10 seconds to a new picture while music is playing in the background. Each picture changes with the music. Each picture should change with either the beat of the music or transition with the change of music.

Ideas for project theme:

1. A popular movie or TV show. Have the music come from the movie or tv show.

2. A theme, such as love, hate, friendship, etc.

3. A holiday or special event

4. If you have another idea bring it to me and we can discuss it.

There are THREE parts to this project:

1. Picture collection from internet - AT LEAST 25 PICTURES

2. Music compilation on Audacity - AT LEAST 5 SELECTIONS of MUSIC

3. Make your montage using Windows MovieMaker.

PART 1

1. Create a folder: PROJECT 7 Music Montage, then create two folders inside of that folder: Pictures & Audio.

2. Download at least 25 pictures from the internet that are connected to your theme.

3. Since pictures will show up as any resolution, you will need to adjust Google’s search feature. On the Google images page, click TOOLS, then SIZE and adjust your settings to display only the size pics you want to use. Pictures need to have a resolution of at least 600 x 600. Anything less will “pixelate” (grainy, blurry look to the picture).

5. After choosing the image (Right click, save image as), save to YOUR network PICTURE folder that you created.

**Make sure you DO NOT download/save a THUMBNAIL PICTURE!!!!**

PART 2

1. Download songs to your Audio folder. Remember - You will need at least 5 songs.
2. Edit songs using Audacity and save the final edit as an mp3 in your Audio folder.

PART 3

1. Download mp3 and pictures to Moviemaker and create the project.
2. Use transitions, text overlays, video, gif images. Whatever brings life to your project.
3. Create opening credits
4. Create ending credits
5. 2:15 minimum to 2:45 maximum
6. Save your project file as a movie
7. Email final product.

The final turn in only needs to be your completed movie montage. Email to me when completed.

Make sure you have met all of the requirements before submitting. The due date for this project will be November 16.
