[ASSIGNMENT] Compare/Contrast Music Vlog/Podcast
For this assignment, you will write a 700 word script for a vlog or podcast. (If you type words on the screen for your vlog, those words also count towards the word count, so I encourage video over audio.) You will want to create title images for your video in Canva (or logos for your podcast). You will demonstrate your ability to compare and contrast on a topic about music.
Suggested software for making your vlog post: iMovie, Premiere Pro, After Effects. Suggested software for podcast: GarageBand, Audacity. You may want to upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo so it's easier to post. Plan for uploading to take time. Use your access to UF Lynda.com as a resource.
Some suggestions for topics are listed below. As always, please post your project to Tumblr, and then post a link to Canvas.
