History Video - Draft 1

Our new assignment is to create a 2 minute long video using images from the internet, as well as sound effects and music of your choosing. The topic is entirely up to you, so I went and chose to do the history of WW2.

This chain of historical events starts from Hitler's rise to Power, all the way to the end of the war in 1945. Events in between include the Invasion of Poland, Pearl Harbour, the Battle of the Bulge and most of the Pacific Campaign.

Editing to the beat is key in this video, so I counted the beat in each song that I used and cut the images to them as precisely as I could. There are no sound effects within my first draft, only accompanying music.

I've also decided to use a film grain, dust and scratches effect throughout the video to make it look more vintage and akin to the motion pictures of WW2. Some images are in colour, so I applied an adjustment layer to make everything black and white.
