Final Project
Create a music video (one piece of music seamless throughout).
Requirements
Create a music video (one piece of music seamless throughout) including all of the components listed below.
No music videos in either section of MUS1331 this semester can use the same music. You can use classical or popular music (or something you compose).
For at least part of the project, you must use high quality DSLR or mirrorless cameras and external microphones (better than the ones that come on Zoom recorders). For parts of the video you may use your own gear (cell phone, audio interface, etc.).
our class has Sony a6400 (we have 3) mirrorless cameras and a variety of microphones
the library Media Lab has Lumix mirrorless cameras (make sure you get a lens, memory card, tripod, battery, etc. too) = https://hdplus.libcal.com/
Components that must be included:
Split-Screen OR Multi-Screen
Split Screen
Recording = one camera, tripod required
Editing = tutorial for split screen (“crop” video effect)
Multi-Screen
Recording = one camera
Editing = tutorial for multi-screen (“crop” and “motion” [position, scale])
Multi-Camera
watch professional orchestra recordings for examples
Recording = 2 or more video cameras recording simultaneously
Editing = instruction on this site
color grade (ideally using LUTs ... research how to do this!)
Text Overlay to label a few different Shot types you used
still shot (photo) that you take
B-Roll Footage
this b-roll has to be taken in a different location and time than the main content of the video
Screen Capture of Logic with sound [This component has several parts to it]
notate a phrase of the song you are using in Dorico or MuseScore
export MIDI from Dorico or MuseScore
import that MIDI into Logic
screen capture a Logic software instrument (synth or sampler) playing back that MIDI sequence (using QuickTime)
export the audio (WAV or AIFF) from Logic to sync with the screen capture
excellent audio recording quality
using professional gear = external microphones (not using the camera built in microphones)
target a desirable loudness (LUFS)
add an overlay grid to a few seconds of your video to show you intentionally followed the rule of thirds at one point
How to turn it in
upload your video to your YouTube channel
create a short URL as follows to link to the YouTube URL for your unlisted or public project video =
tiny.cc/[yourBear_ID]Dec. 9 (last class day) I will navigate to
tiny.cc/[yourBear_ID]and show your project to the class
