Google Day 1
Goals:
1. Choose the song for the music video
2. Do a rough draft of what we are going to do in the video (effects)
3. Start recording the first part of the song
Links:
- Adding sound effects tutorial
- imovie green screen
1. Song: Call Me Maybe
2. We are going to go around school singing Call Me Maybe and surprising other people. It's going to be a funny video with effects.
3. We couldn't record today because it was raining, but we are going to start making the video at home and putting it together.
Today we learned how to edit videos and crop them, how to put text, and how to put special effects. We started by choosing the song, which is Call Me Maybe. After this we looked at tutorials on how to edit videos and add text to them. After looking at all these videos, we tried and we succeeded.The only thing that we couldn't do was making the music overlap.
Next class we want to learn on how to make music overlap in imovie and how to make green screen also in imovie.

Google 20%
For our Google project, we are going to work with video editing, by using imovie and other video editing sources. We want to learn how to enhance videos and work with them in different ways. We are going to learn how to do this by watching other people's videos. We have always seen music video on the internet and have always wondered "How do they do that?" Those incredible special effects that make everything look different and fun, HOW DO THEY DO THAT?
We are going to show what we learned by making a music video. In this music video we are going to be using special effects and changing the color of the video. We want to make it at least 3 minutes long, but 3 very special minutes. It will be very fun and awesome. People will be surprised on what we are able to make. We will record scenes around the city and then put it together and make a masterpiece.
WATCH OUT.
