A man is literally what he thinks - James Allen

Hi there everyone,
I'm not sure if you've seen a so called "literal music video" or not so I'll post an example below.
After seeing this video I thought it would be fun to try it.
It seems much more difficult than it is - in fact all you need is a movie maker programme like Windows Movemaker, Real player and a microphone.
All you need to do is

• download the video you want to make to your computer.

• Get your students to watch it and brainstorm their ideas.

• Re-write the lyrics and synch them so they fit the original lyrics

• Put the video on the movie maker
• Add subtitles with the new lyrics
• Lower the volume of the original song
• Practice practice and practice some more :)
• Record over your new lyrics
• And you're done!

Word of warning though - it's a LONG project to do - you are going to need at least 5 hours of class time to do it effectively. So you need lots of time and patience (I also brought chocolate brownies to class for some added motivation).

So here's an example of a "professional" one from Youtube.
Enjoy
