Uptown Normal, Illinois Video Project Information

Goal of the Project

For this project, students in the GMD 311 course at DeVry University were tasked with creating a short video to develop our skills using Adobe Premiere Pro video production software. We needed to take short video clips along with still images and background music to assemble a professionally produced video highlighting an area event or specific portion of town, mimicking the type of video commonly produced for local bureau of tourism agencies.
