A Chase Film Distribution – Master Multimedia

Distribution

Once your team has chosen the best soundtrack for your film, do the following as a team:
1. Decide on the title of your film.
2. Choose a still frame that best represents the film.
3. Create a Google Doc Credits List that follows this format:
Produced by NAME
Starring NAME, NAME, NAME, NAME, NAME and NAME
Edited by NAME
Soundtrack by NAME

Next, split your team into two groups:

Film Group – This group should include the person who created the best soundtrack and the person who created the best picture edit. If one person created the best soundtrack and the best picture edit, they may choose one other team member to help them complete the film.

Promotion Group – This group should include the rest of your team. It will create a poster and other promotional materials.

Film Group

Student 1 (the person who did not create the chosen film soundtrack)
Create a folder named Titles in your chase project folder then download the templates for the graphics.
Follow this tutorial to edit each template. (Use your team’s Credit List Google Doc as a reference.)
When your graphics are ready, share your Titles folder with Student 2 so they may add them to their film edit.

Student 2 (the person who created the team’s chosen soundtrack)
Open the soundtrack edit of your team’s chase film in WeVideo. Select all items on the timeline and move them to the right to allow space for the opening title. (Approximately 5 seconds.)
Add 5 seconds of music before the film starts.
After the film ends, add 20 seconds of music.
Get copies of the completed title graphics from Student 2. Add the Title graphic at the start of the film, then add the rest of the graphics at the end, making each last 3 seconds.
Add a fade in at the start of the film, and a fade out at the end.
Export this final edit, then review with the other members of your chase film team. If any changes are necessary, make them, then export the corrected version.

Substitute a one or two word name for your film for TITLE then substitute the first initial and last name of each member on your team for FLAST.

2. Your Promotional Copy Google Doc.
3. Your Poster .psd file using the following name format: Film-TITLE-FLAST.psd
