Practical assignment: parallel and contrapuntal sound video

Complete this video task in pairs - you only need to create ONE video between the two of you but it must be uploaded to YouTube and posted to BOTH of your blogs.

1) Choose a 60 second piece of music - it can be a film score or a song, it is up to you.

2) Using editing software (we recommend using Adobe Premiere Pro so you get more confident using it) produce a one-minute montage of images and videos. Half the images need to be parallel to the music and half need to be contrapuntal. Think carefully about how you can best select images and videos to have a significant impact on the audience. For this task, you do not need to use original images or videos.

3) Upload the finished video to YouTube and embed it in your own blog with a brief description of what you've created. Note: due to videos occasionally being blocked on copyright grounds, please also save the exported video file (e.g. MP4) into your student folder on the M: Media Shared drive.

4) Present your video to the class next week, explaining the thinking behind your work.
