A Stereo Movie Tutorial

View Assignment Details

To begin, you will need to find your visual footage of choice for editing. One of the ways this can be achieved is by downloading videos from YouTube. To do this, begin by highlighting the section in front of the youtube url and replacing it with pwn (so it reads pwnyoutube.com).

This will direct you to Deturl.com. Many of the downloading options are unreliable, so be sure to only click on File2HD (preferably in a browser like Chrome that helps prevent unwanted pop-ups as an additional precaution).

Once here, check the terms and service box and select Movies, and then click the Get Files button (ignore any other buttons, no matter how flashy).

Then click on the highest quality file to download your YouTube video.

This video can then by added to your video-editing software of choice. Place the video on your timeline, mute the video, and then add your chosen song.

Publish your video, and voila!

“Watching Movies with the Stereo on” Assignment (4 Stars)

View Assignment Details

Okay, so I’m not going to lie, this assignment was pretty easy compared to the other videos I’ve been making. So I figured, “Hey, why not make a simple tutorial for this?”

So, here’s how it goes:

Find a video on YouTube of a clip from a movie you like (or don’t like, who cares, right?). For this assignment, I chose to do the Dumbledore’s Army montage from the fifth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Here’s the scene in case you’re not a huge HP fan:
Next, you want to pwn that shizz with the help of PwnYouTube. I saved it as a mp4 file because it didn’t work as a flv for me. But then again, I’m not sure what the difference between mp4 and flv is. I legitimately just did trial-and-error. After you download it, drag it into iMovie or whatever program you’re using to upload the clip.
You want to strip the audio from the movie clip. On iMovie, you just have to right-click the movie clip, select “detach audio,” and then click on the audio file and hit delete on your keyboard.
Find a song you think will fit the mood of the scene you chose. For this scene, since it’s about learning stuff, going against authority in a playful way, and teen love (Ron and Hermione forever <3), I chose a classic by the Jackson 5 “ABC”. I already had the song as an mp3, so I just looked for it using iMovie, and dragged it into the project window. It should show up as a green line under the movie clip. Make sure the green line matches up with the beginning of the clip! My clip ended up being longer than the song, so I had to find a place to clip it. If your clip isn’t as long as mine was/is shorter than your audio clip, you don’t have to do this. Your screen should look a little something like this:
Ta-da! You’re all done! All you have to do now is add in some credits and an opening sequence to put your name on it, and bam! Assignment completed, and you get to walk away with 4 stars. Here’s what I created:

Hope you guys enjoyed my little tribute to Harry Potter!

Tutorial: Watching movies with the stereo on

This assignment is very basic, but there are some key parts. I will be using Windows Movie Maker for this assignment so there are some extra steps.

Step 1: Choose a video and audio that could work well together (they have the same theme etc..)

Step 2: Find this video using youtube

Step 3: Download the video to your desktop. (I used keepvid in internet explorer because you have to have the specific java plug-in)

Step 4: Download your audio (I used youtube and then found a youtube-mp3 converter)

Step 5: This is where I had to do some specific things for Windows Movie Maker. For some reason it won’t upload the mp4 files. They need to be converted to a .wmv file. You can download Real Player here. It’s free and hasn’t harmed my computer in any way.

Step 6: You can now open your video into Real Player (left click on the mp4 file on your desktop and click “open with” and scroll across to Real Player)

Step 7: (You can cut your video here if you would like, but I recommend waiting to do this later in the assignment so you can get a better match with your audio.) Once your video starts playing in Real Player you can scroll across the movie and in the bottom right there should be a button that says “convert”. Click this

Step 8: It will come up with a screen that looks like the below picture. And you just hit start. Real Player does the rest…

Step 8: You can then add your video into Windows Movie Maker using the import media button at the top of the tool bar. At this time you should also add your audio using this same button.

Step 9: You can then drag your audio and video to the timeline at the bottom of the screen.

Step 10: This is where you are kind of on your own. You need to try and make your video and audio mush together. They should flow with one another. You can easily trim the audio by the arrow at the end of the music bar on the timeline. You can do the same for the video in the video section of the time line.

Extras:

1. Adding effects make the video unique. Playing around with these can greatly enhance your video. You can find these on the toolbar on the left of the screen.

2. The tool bar on the left is also where you can find captions and titles. You can add words to the video using these.

3. If you need to change the tone, pitch, speed, etc. of your audio you will need to use audacity and then re-import this. This may be a vital step in making the two medias come together.

4. Below is a picture of the whole windows movie maker. I have numbered some important tools for you.

Red= Toolbar

1= effects, 2= Titles, 3= Publish (do this when you are done with the full movie)

Green= Timeline

1= Drag your video here, 2= Drag your audio here

Blue= Where you can watch your video. This is also where you can watch effects you want to sample

My example for this assignment is here. Enjoy and be creative!

Like when you have a movie playing on TV without the sound and you’ve got the stereo on at the same time. Take a clip from a movie, remove the audio, and add audio from a song or radio show that, somehow, kind of fits. See my two examples.
