The project for this class is to edit a short video (up to 1 minute) about something you’re passionate about or something you’re interested in. This is an amazing and fun way to express yourself and practice what you learned in the course.

What I'm looking for in your class projects:

Meaningful well-paced and timed edits
Use of at least one of the effects learned (blend modes, keyframe animation or different types of cuts that you learned in the Editing Techniques lessons)
Create a nice and organized folder structure

In my class project example, I’m creating a Visual Narrative, which is basically a story without dialogue. But feel free to choose any category you want (check your guidebook to see some other possibilities).

Getting the assets:

You can use the sample footage provided in THIS LINK or;
Use your own footage or;
Source free stock footage/music online or;
A combination of all of the above

Here are the main steps within your class project:

Download the assets in the link above.
Make progress on your edit by doing the activities in each lesson.
Create a Creative Brief for yourself (If needed)
Source Free Stock footage and music
Import the clips you want to use in Premiere
Create a short video (up to 1 minute) - could be longer if you want
Post your final project here so I can see what you’ve been up to

Finishing up this project is going to be awesome because it'll help you tackle edits with way more confidence and purpose. And guess what? This project is like a playground of creative footage just waiting for you to play around with and practice all your video editing moves, no matter if you're a beginner or a pro.

We all have our own unique way to tell a story. So don’t think about perfection. Think about letting your creativity flow while you have fun experimenting with these cool editing techniques. And hey, If you’ve already got a project that you’re working on, why don’t you try to apply some of what you learned here and post your outcome for us too see?

I can’t wait to see what your creative mind comes up with as you start this amazing journey on the Art of Storytelling.
