Online Scavenger Hunt- Video 1 Objective: To increase your knowledge and understanding of camera shots

Directions: Locate and download an example of each shot below as an MP4 file using the included pictures and descriptions as a reference. For this project, you may only use clips from MUSIC VIDEOS found on YouTube.com. You may take shots from multiple different music videos. In FCP X, edit each example shot to last EXACTLY 5 seconds and appear the order found below. Each shot should contain a LOWER THIRDS title with a name and description of the shot type and include a transition from one shot to the next. The final video should contain no audio from the original clips. Instead, use a song of your choice (NO RAP) to play in the background.
