Description:
Select a unifying theme (nature, city, weather, family, etc.) and create a 20 second film timed to a soundtrack of your choice. You must use at least 20 images and 3 videos (I will count!)
The purpose of this assignment is to understand rhythm and timing. Practice hitting the beat when bringing images on and off screen. Varying the duration and scale of the images/videos will make your piece more exciting. Play around with composition and use multiple layers (it shouldn't be a "single image after single image" slide show).
Check out the "Inspiration" section of this blog for references (look for the "Week 1" entry)
Bring your work-in-progress project to class on a drive—we will go over render settings together.
Specs:
- 1280 x 720, square pixels, 29.97 fps
- 20 seconds
- h264 or mpeg4 compression (in class)
