Capture the Fall (Video Challenge)


Sundance Stroll from Katie Morgan on Vimeo.

Now that everyone is wrapping up filming for their dystopian trailers it's a good time to introduce our next video challenge, Capture the Fall. Create a 60-second film capturing what the fall (or autumn) looks like to you. The video I posted above is an example I found on Vimeo.

Include the following elements in your Capture the Fall film:
  1. 10 or more different video clips
  2. Use a standard transition between every video clip (like a dissolve or cross dissolve)
  3. Embed a piece of CC licensed music to help create a distinctive mood for your film
  4. Include a Title Slide at the beginning with an original title
  5. Add a Credit Slide at the end citing the source of your music
Optional: Experiment with video effects or video apps. Try giving your film an interesting look by adding a video effect in post-production. 

The example I shared above was shot with an iphone using the very cool 8mm iPhone app. The YouTube video editor allows you to add different video effects. iMovie also has different effects you can add over your footage. I'm not sure if wevideo allows you to add video effects or not.

Have fun. Be creative. DUE DATE: Monday, November the 5th.

Here's another example:
