Week 7 Tutorial Task

• Review your grades for assignment 1. When you log in using your FBE login, and go to the Courses on the Web page, you should see an "Assignment 1 Feedback" link on the right-hand menu you that will take you to a feedback page.

• Sketch out a rough 15 panel storyboard for your music video, concentrating on scene transitions, and the way you will link and combine your media, ( your "set" images, architectural images and videos from assignment 1) to form a coherent music video that both supports and is supported by your chosen music. Consider titles, credits, text, special effects and graphics for your videos (credits should include all references for images and music), include these as story board components if they are relevant.
  

• Leading from ideas developed in your rough sketched storyboard, develop more footage in 3Ds Max to link your videos content together. You may want to start combining content from your Max files to render out linking scenes for your media. You will a minimum of three extra videos for submission.

• You are welcome to use external content, but it must be referenced correctly. Go through the other students blogs, and look for content that you may want to incorporate form their video stock, if you ask them nicely, they may let you use it. Or if you don't know who they are, use me as a conduit, and I will ask them for you.
  

• Do the tutorials on Synchronising Sound with animations in After Affects, from the Courses on the Web page, using your chosen music. You may also want to consider mixing in sound effects to your video to provide counterpoint for certain elements.

• There is also a link to the Adobe Video Workshop, and Adobe TV, that has many useful and relevant videos, relating to all things Adobe.

• Start reviewing Adobe Premiere video tutorials, which is the best place to combine your various media. You can use any programs you are comfortable with (doesn't have to be Premiere, After Effects, etc) to create your music videos, these are just suggested applications that Dan and I can help you with. With other applications, we can still help conceptually, but not not be able to help with technical problems.

• If you want you can check out Resolume, a VJ (video Jockey) software for mixing video in real-time. This is a great little application, very simple to use and has some great video effects. It is also very quick at rendering out video in varying formats. I have added links to the application download page and a manual on Courses on the Web page.
  

• As you develop your music clip, consider the flavour of your music, and how it relates to your content.
