Each film submitted for MUS 346 must contain these features/elements...

  • Standard video format
  • Main title opening with credits (closing credits optional)
  • Music/sfx covering whole video, including intro/outtro
  • Sound track must end precisely as video ends
  • Finished video submitted to Vimeo account
  • Project notes submitted to D2L Assignments folder
  • Some assignments have specific requirements. e.g. DME, Info sheet
  • A review of a colleague's work on the same project

NOTE: These guidelines may vary for some of the projects, check the assignments carefully

s1

  • .mov (Quicktime)
  • .mp4 (MPEG-4)

s2

  • Using a video editor (e.g. iMovie) create an opening main title that include the name of the film and your name
  • The main title can include other info if you like, e.g. DAW, date of creation, etc.
  • You can start work on the score for your video before doing this, but the main title should be scored in some way
  • You may also include closing credits; if you do, make sure to score this part as well

s3

  • Make sure your sound track ends precisely with the original video (or closing credits if included)
  • This is especiallly important with commercials
  • Good rule of thumb: end .5 seconds before last video frame

s4

  • When your video is completed, post it to your Vimeo account.
  • Provide the URL of your video to the class spread sheet (link at top).
  • If you are posting other video, you might make a Vimeo playlist or collection

NOTE: PROJECT NOTES WILL NOT BE REQUIRED THIS TERM

s6

  • Make sure to check the specific requirements for each project

s7

  • When each project is done, go to the D2L discussion for that project and provide a review of a colleague's work
  • For the 6 projects this term, review 5 of them for full credit
  • Submit your review discussion post within a week after the project's due date
