For my next 3 stars, (leaving only 3 to go), I decided to complete the Movies by Numbers, here are the details: Create a video that artistically presents a single number in artful ways- show how it is represented in the world or nature. Add a relevant musical track, no narration, let the number and the visuals stell the story.

I decided to use the number 4. I have always consider 4 my favorite number however I am not sure why. Maybe because I always heard a 4 leaf clover is good luck and just associated that with the number 4. Whatever the case, there is now a movie on the number 4!

To complete this video, I Googled the number 4. I got some images, so then I tried spelling 4 out (four), I also did searches for imaged I knew represented the number 4. All of the images I used were from Google!

Once I found the images, I saved them to a new folder on my computer. Then I opened up VideoPad Video Editor and imported the images. I arranged them into the order I wanted. I then added a black screen at the beginning and the end. I added subtitle to the pages to make a title page and a closing page. Then I found some background music on this website: http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html?genre=African. I used a song called slow heat. The reason I choose this song is because it has 4 major drum beats, which other instruments get added around. I thought it was really neat that I could incorporate music into the 4 theme. I had to download the music to my computer which you can do directly from the site I gave you. Then I imported the music into VideoPad. I aligned the music with the images and then saved the project as a movie. I uploaded it to Youtube and included the video in this blog.

Over all I think it turned out pretty good. The images and the music work well together. Who know there were so many place where you could find the number 4, and I only included a few images!

Here is my video, enjoy!
