Project 2: Steal This Video

By Justin on October 1st, 2009, 12:27 pm 0 Comments

Using only YouTube, find a video with 1 minute of interesting material. This video can be of anything—a trailer for a movie, an old TV show, a teenager singing a pop song, etc.

This project will enable you to examine visual appropriation and the realities and implications of an open-source culture on our everyday media consumption.

You will then re-enact / redub 1 minute of that video and record and edit your re-enactment / redub in Final Cut Pro.

Due: October 19

This project is worth 15% of your final grade.

Your mark for this project will be broken down into the following components:

1. Technical Proficiency: 20
2. Conceptual Engagement: 40
3. Critique: 20
4. Aesthetics: 20

Other notes: You must give this project a title and we will work together to figure out the best way to present the final projects (it could be that we upload the videos to YouTube, embed those videos in a webpage side by side with the original, or burn the videos to a DVD and play them all as a loop, etc.)
