ENG 229 12.R: Intro Contest Part Deux

Today’s Plan:

  • Release Form
  • Intro Credit Assignment Turn In
  • Intro Credit Audio
  • Intro Credit Expectations

Intro Credit Assignment Turn In

I have created a turn-in on Canvas. You will turn in a shareable link to a folder in my Google Drive. I want everyone to create a folder in the Google Drive (last name-LACopen).That folder needs to contain:

  • A .prproj file that I can open in Premiere 
  • Any logo image files or audio files you use

Because this can be tricky, I would like you to create the folder and submit the shareable link to that folder to the Canvas assignment now.

Intro Credit Audio

We need to settle on some intro audio for these projects. The intro audio clip should be 10 seconds; our introductions are 8 seconds, so this allows two seconds of fade out overlap as we transition into a respondent’s first answer.

We need this music to be copyright-free.

We also have the audio clip that we used last year in the folder above.

Let’s talk about this.

After you identify an audio file, downloaded it. Then clip (crop, trim, etc) the file down to 10 seconds (or so) in Audio Audition or Audacity.

Intro Credit Expectations

So, let’s confirm some things these openings need to do/consider:

  • 7-8 seconds
  • Establishing Shot (montage? single-shot?)
  • Color grading
  • Some kind of title
  • Have template for introducing professor, department, and class
  • Bonus: copyleft music

When you turn this in, it is okay if you don’t have background music or any b-roll. I have included a sample file that you can grab B-roll from if you want to include some to spice up your entry. I will review these (likely on Monday) and have a finalist list that we will vote on Tuesday in class.
