Band Soundtrack Project 2016-17

The purpose of the project is for students to develop skills in creating music to be used as the soundtrack for a video. Most students simply record themselves playing with the original soundtrack, mute the original soundtrack using moviemaker, and add their edited soundtrack.

FIRST DEADLINE –  Monday Jan. 23

Download a video online and download using keepvid.com (or create your own video or slideshow of still pics). Download the audio soundtrack (keepvid.com or youtube2mp3.org)

Show Mr. Grush downloaded video and mp3 audio in class on Jan. 23.  Then start working.

Days to work in class (if you submit early, you may use class time for sectionals, improv, jamming, or studying)

M 1-23                W 1-25               M 1-30                W 2-1                  Recording should be done OUTSIDE of class.

Final Deadline – Fri. Feb. 3 by 11:59pm

Guidelines

• Group (2-4 people) or individual
• Must use at least one recording PER PERSON of a melodic instrument – integral but not the entire time
• Grush’s goal is to hear how you match notes, tuning, time, and style with a background recording

Length                             2-4 minutes

Content                            PG

Possible Tools                  Audacity, Noteflight, Soundation, Moviemaker (GarageBand, imovie, other?)

It is your choice if you want to spend longer, but extensions will not be granted.
