Semester VI students have the subject “Multimedia and its Applications” in their course of study. This is a very important subject for Computer Science students. To complete the assignments, the students need to collect data by visiting different areas like historical places, different monuments, entertainment parks etc. in Kolkata. This field trip will provide students with an ample opportunity to experiment with lighting, shadows, background scaling, landscape stitching, motion effects and many other effects. Students are to prepare a 30-minutes video on “Kolkata: The City of Joy” by using various video effects, text effects and transition effects. The place Kolkata lends itself well to this sort of video assignment for several reasons. First, the hustle and bustle of Kolkata, being uniform, can easily be reused with minimal manipulation. This means that we can create more environment with fewer images. Secondly, a crowded backdrop is conducive to dramatic lighting and shadows which will provide the students with great creativity.
