Editing
Watch the video tutorial as a review and take notes. Make sure you have the requirements and follow the outline and that you have the following:
- Image correction (brightness, white balance, coloring, etc).
- Any cropping and image stabilization needed
- Change all text from "iAm" to simply "I am" and make sure your song has a three second intro for the intro title text "I am"
- Face and Steps match and change on the beat of the song.
- There is a transition beat for the first area on the text "I am" before the first area clips start
- When you type your first area (e.g. a Master Chef), make the "a" lowercase and "Master Chef" capitalized and change it to 2 seconds instead of 3.
- No clip should be more than 3 (max 4 if needed) seconds long (use jump cuts if you need longer clips of the same footage). When you are finished with area one you should be 40 seconds or less. Use only your best footage.
- Remember you need a minimum of four clips for each area, two of them before the text (e.g. a Master Chef). When your final video is finished at the end, you need to use two cuts as well as all of the subject shots and video shots.
When finished with your video up to the completion of area 1, export the video and upload it to your school Youtube account and post the link to Schoology.
For future reference, the order of the completed video should be the following (you do not have to finish the complete video yet):
- Your Name text (3 seconds)
- Clips of you with different backgrounds and you walking (about .7 seconds each)
- "I am" text (3 seconds)
- Two clips of your first area (3 seconds or less each)
- First Area text (e.g. "a Master Chef") -- (2 seconds)
- At least two more clips of area one (3 seconds or less each)
- We will edit these later:
- Second Area text (e.g. a Volleyball Player) -- (2 seconds)
- At least four clips of second area (3 seconds or less each)
- Third Area text (e.g. a Comic Book Collector) -- (2 seconds)
- At least four clips of third area (3 seconds or less each)
- Text "I am" (3 seconds)
- Three short clips of yourself (wide shot, then medium shot, then tight shot, all the same shot) --you will film these over the weekend (1 second each)
- Text of Your Name (3 seconds)
