Project Overview

Multimedia Studio Production Editing

Students will work in small groups to edit a four- to five-minute production with audio, video and graphic elements, demonstrating an understanding of design principles. They will practice applying design principles, including text, colors and placement within the title-safe area, while ensuring compatibility with file formats. The project emphasizes creativity, technical skills in video editing software and understanding the role of graphics in storytelling. By the end of the project, students will demonstrate their ability to create a cohesive, professional-quality multimedia production.

Consider how to provide students with narration, music, video and graphic elements or have students gather their assets before starting the project. Recommend resources for royalty-free video footage and music, including Pexels® and Pixabay®. During this project, students will learn to organize and manage media assets, edit video and audio clips and design graphics such as lower-thirds and overlays to enhance their production.

 

Supplies List:

Computer with video editor installed, such as Adobe® Premiere® Pro

Additional narration, video, graphic and music assets

 

Accommodations:

Provide students with a project template using the chosen video editor software.

 

Modifications:

Provide students with a project file with assets already sequenced, and then ask students to focus on syncing audio or video and adding transitions or effects.

 

Extension:

Have students capture and use their footage to support the production’s message.
