From sound to video clip
The activity starts by introducing the concept of "musical form" through listening and schematising songs. Each lesson starts with a stimulus proposed by the teacher, continues with individual exercises or in pairs and ends in plenary with a moment of conceptualisation. In the second phase of the project, the students apply the skills acquired by making a video clip. Starting directly from the analysis of video clips chosen by the students, the role of the musical form in the choices related to the construction of the audio-visual product is examined in depth. Once analysed some video clips, in the last part of the project the students make a video on a known song.
Work tools
Augmented classroom, or better 3.0. "From the song to the videoclip" can be developed in any educational environment that allows group work and is "augmented" with some technological resources. Classroom 3.0 is ideal for the final phase. The co-presence of a colleague is desirable in some phases.
Resources used:
- IWB and sound system of good quality
- Wi-Fi connection.
- e-learning platform and/or cloud resources.
- Software and web tools (see project).
- Devices (BYOD, mobile cart or Classroom 3.0)
