In this project, you will develop a multimedia Web presentation. The topic can be your hobbies, travels, or a theme of family reunion, school/college reunion, a birthday party presentation, etc..can use any software programs, like Windows Movie Maker/Adobe Premiere, Photoshop and Web development software.
You could choose to produce a mini-movie (short film, with either a fictional story or documentary type) but that may need more time, effort and resources, and hence it is not required. If it is justifiable that the mini-movie entails significantly more effort, the Web requirement may be waived. However, the mini-movie should be judged by the cinematic criteria and techniques. A merely long-length video recording does not qualify for a mini-movie.
Your grade may be partially based on the quality of the techniques and contents. Merely providing the minimal components may not guarantee a perfect score.
• Capture several digital video clips related to your topic using a digital camcorder.
• Find your choice of music, in the format of WAV, MP3, etc..
• Bring each video clip into Windows Movie Maker/Adobe Premiere (should come with accompanying audio, if there). Use the timeline to edit the videos. Cut out unwanted sections, and add your music track in the background (so you can have yourself speaking at times with the music in the background).
• Develop a multimedia Website with text, still images and video elements. It is optional to deploy the Website with some free Web hosting service.
What to submit:
A short report in PDF or Word, describing what you have done and what you have learned in this project. If you have deployed the Website online, include the URL of your Website in your report.
If you have your Website local, submit the zipped folder of your Website with all the source files and resource files included so that the Website can be viewed offline with a Web browser.
