Required: complete your visual poetry project (make sure you have the following: opening credits depicting your name and the title of the poem; closing credits that indicate music credits, photography, and director information; make sure your video has appropriate photos or film to impact the effectiveness of your words (pay close attention to mood); and include a music score to underscore the effect of the film.
