pineapple whip: Editing Assignment

NAT SOUND Package

For: Groups of 1-2
Difficulty: Advanced

Objective
This assignment tests a student’s ability to stay on focus and construct a narrative with limited content.

Points to emphasize

  • Students should start by adding sound bites to their timeline; then add b-roll. The sound bites are the framework for the story. The b-roll adds texture and visuals.

  • Use nat sound to get the viewer’s attention and create transitions.

Equipment: Computer, editing software, headphones

Assignment

Students must create a 40-60 second news package created only from the elements in the raw footage pack. No effects or transitions of any kind may be used. The focus of the story is “Pineapple Whip is a family tradition”.

 

Example

We suggest waiting until after the students are finished to show the example.
