Music Video Project
** Music Video Project ** Each group will be assigned a song for which you will have to make a music video using “Movie Maker.” Each song contains a social message or a commentary on the events of the time in which it was written. Follow the instructions carefully! Begin by finding out who wrote the song and the year in which it was written. Listen carefully to the song several times. Go on line or copy the lyrics as you listen. I have included a few links which may help you. http://www.azlyrics.com/, [|http://www.lyrics.com/,<span], http://www.sing365.com/ After having listened to the song and having read the words, try to determine the writer’s purpose, ideas and themes. Do some research into the historical era, and the cause or issue that the songs explore, or comment on. Once you have a good knowledge of the issues and their historical context, make a story board outline that you will follow as you create your video. Following this begin to assemble images, downloaded video clips, and pictures and video footage of yourselves. Use all the editing features of Movie Maker such as special effects and transitions to make your video as professional looking and creative as possible. Have fun!
