Assessment 2 - Editing
I am editing my film using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, I am using this as I know my way around Adobe software and also other Adobe projects such as Photoshop can work in sync with each other. I first started by uploading my recorded work by connecting the JVC camcorder to my laptop, after doing this I selected "File", "Import" and then selected my video camera. I then found the start of my recordings and selected recored on Premiere.
I then used the "cut" tool shown selected to the right,
to cut up the time frame and each frame so I can move and select the best shots. After doing this I found the clip with the best focus I moved them to the start of the time line and deleted the unwanted shots by right clicking on them and selecting delete.
I found that the first clip of the Christmas tree was too long and I needed to speed it up so that it could fit in with the ten seconds I have for my film. To do this I right clicked on the clip and selected "Speed/Duration" and then changed the speed from 100% to 150% as shown to the right.
After shortening the clip, I then made the written text on Photoshop and imported it into Premiere. I then shorten them to fit the time scale and placed them next to the video clips.
The clips once played did not run through smoothly so to solve this problem I added in a "Cross Dissolve". I added this by selecting it in the left hand box under effects, video transitions and then cross dissolve. I dragged the dissolve and dropped it over lapping the clips to make a continuous flowing film. as shown below:
I next added a Lens Flare over the video of the Christmas tree to give it a magical, sparkley effect. I did this the same way as I added the Cross Dissolve, but I dragged it over the whole clip and dropped it on top. I then moved the where I wanted the lens flare to be by selecting the lens flare tab and moving it by dragging the flare on my video as shown below:
I next added my music, to go with the theme of Christmas I decided to use a Christmas song. The song I choose was Sleigh Ride, I didn't want the introduction so I selected the well known singing in the song. I cut the song down by placing the song in the audio section of the time line. I then used the cut tool to the cut down the time I want and where I wanted the song to start. I deleted the unwanted music and moved the new edited music into place. I then needed the track to skip, to get this I found a song with a DJ scratching, and edited out the unwanted music. I copied and pasted scratching sound to get a skipping effect.
