Essential Question:

How do you use professional equipment to produce a newscast?

Objective:
Utilize graphic design and video production to produce a final group product

 

Assignment:
You have been hired as a video editor by J Cash Inc. They want you to create a promotional video for their travel agency on all the fun places you can visit. You are to follow the directions given by the project manager for the target audience to complete the project. Once complete then you should review the checklist for grading criteria before turning in your work. 

 


Work in groups of two for this project. Take 10 pictures of each other on the green screen. DO NOT STAND CLOSE TO THE GREEN SCREEN OR YOU WILL HAVE A GREEN TINT ON THE CLOTHES. Make each picture a different pose, be creative. You should have a total of 20 pictures. Each person should save the pictures of themselves on their flash drive in your Video folder. Open the pictures in Photoshop. Layer Mask the green background so that you appear on a transparent background. Do this for all of your picture poses. Save each picture as a Photoshop file (.psd) in your Video folder (last name + first initial pic 1, pic 2, etc).

Open Premiere. Create a new project called Everywhere. Import the "I've been everywhere" song. Edit the audio for the section you want to use, but you must use the slow open for the beginning, the chorus, a list of cities, and the chorus again. You can use Audition to edit the audio if you prefer. Go online and find pictures to match the song lyrics. Open those pictures in Photoshop. Create a template of 720 x 480. Add your photos to the template and insert the various poses of each of you. You will have to resize the images with transform. If the pictures are blurry or pixelated once they have been resized then you cannot use them and you must find different pictures. You can not repeat background pictures. Save each photo with you in the picture as JPEG files. Import the JPEG scenes with you in them into Premiere. Edit the photos on the beat of the voice to complete the project. The photos should alternate between each person in your group, so you will need to plan ahead for this. Each person needs to work in Premiere, so this will require you to alternate so that each person works the same amount of time. Twopeople work on the same project. It will require a lot of Photoshop work so planning ahead to maximize your time and efforts.

Save this project as last name of each person in the group + everywhere. Export as a .MP4 file at full size 720 x 480 and again small size 320 x 240. Make sure you save the video on each flash drive. You will need a copy for your portfolio at the end of the semester.
