8th Media Arts: Movie Soundtrack

For this project we will be composing music to go with copyright-free video footage, using the software program "GarageBand". These will be shown at our Arts and Engineering Comic Con, as well as online.

Research

1. First, let's talk about what a comic convention is like. Video. Experience Comic Con.

2. Choose a found video to compose music for. I have downloaded some old cartoons that are now public domain. Find a video in the Fowler Classroom > Materials folder. Shorten it to about 2 minutes (find a good stopping point). It must be 1:30 minutes or longer.
