Movies by Numbers

For my first video assignment this week I did Movies by Numbers which was worth three stars. In this assignment you had to pick any number and then use pictures to show how it is used in the world around us.  After finding your pictures you had to then pick a song to go along with it and make them into a movie.

As soon as I found this assignment I knew that I had to do it.  I am currently OBSESSED with the song 22 by Taylor Swift (you are even going to see that song pop up again in another one of my video assignments later). So I obviously picked the number 22.  To find my pictures I started off by just simply google image searching the number 22.  I expected to have to look harder than that but I actually came across a ton of pictures that I wanted to use.

Once I got all of my pictures saved on my computer, I went a head and imported them into iMovie.  After getting the pictures in I uploaded the song 22 in as well.  I cut out the beginning of the song and just found parts of the chorus to put the pictures with.   I decided to do this because a three minute video of pictures of the number 22 would be quite extensive and while the whole song is about being 22 the chorus is the only part that really explicitly says the number 22.

After getting everything imported like I wanted, I went ahead and arranged the pictures in a way that I wanted and cut them a little bit here and there to make them flow better and so that it ended at the right part.

Here is my final product.  Hope you like it:

Three stars down and thirteen to go!
