Video Editing Project

Main Task:
The goal is to combine images or photographs and music to create your own video. Yo can also add a few Transitions and Effects as well as text if it makes sense. You only have a few lessons so don't try anything too complicated. With a video of around 30 to 60 seconds should be enough. You can do more if you wish but quality is more important than quantity.

Steps:
1. Watch the video examples below and others from Internet for ideas and Inspiration.
2. Decide what type of video you want to do and the topic.
3. Plan it! Write a short script describing your video step by step.
4. Gather all the resources you need: download images/music, take photos, record audio, etc.
    Put it all in your pen drive in a new folder inside your "Video Editing" folder.
5. Use OpenShot to create the video!

* Use your own photographs (phone or camera)
