Editing project: Music video montage

Your first editing project is to create a music video montage using clips from this year's GCSE production work.

This is a real technical challenge and requires selecting the most impressive or dramatic clips from a variety of music videos, picking the right song to use for the montage and then editing to the beat.

You'll find all the resources for this project in the M: Media Shared drive:

M: Media Shared > Resources > GCSE > Summer projects > Music video montage

Here you'll find the following:
  • Exemplar music video montages from 2014 and 2015
  • Audio files you can use for your montage song (note: you are free to choose your own song but will need to provide the MP3 file)
  • The music videos from each of this year's Media classes - A1, B1 and B2

Your tasks are as follows:

1) Create a new folder in your folder on the M: Media Shared drive called Music video montage.

2) Watch a selection of music videos from the three classes and make notes of particular videos and clips you plan to use in your montage. You may also want to watch the exemplar music video montages again too.

3) Choose a song for your montage either from our folder of audio files or provide your own MP3. Note: the montage does not have to take up the whole song.

4) Create a new project in Premiere Pro and save it in your folder on the M: Media Shared drive. Remember: ALL clips and files need to be saved on Media Shared or the file will not render or export on Premiere Pro.

5) Import the music videos you have selected for your montage.

6) Start cutting the key scenes and clips from your chosen music videos and build an exciting, fast-paced montage on the timeline.

Mr Qureshi will be on hand to help with technical issues or Premiere Pro questions on Thursdays and your Media teacher should be able to assist on Tuesdays. However, the most important skill you can develop in this project is independent learning - use YouTube tutorials to work on specific skills or simply trial and error in creating a pace and style to your editing.

Good luck!
