Editing

Today I began to do some editing. I used Premier Pro. First i had to import all the clips that I wanted to use and look at all of them to see which ones are for use and which ones are not so good. I changed names for all of the ones that I am going to use in order not to get mixed up and to help me to find them easier. The next step was to cut them were i wanted and overwrite it to the timeline. It took some time for me to put all the clips together and form one big video. However the video was still not finished because there was a lot to add.

I decided to then add some effects such as fading in and fading out, dissolving and many more. I think that this is really helpful for the video as it makes it more interesting for the audience to look at. I added some titles and added some effects to them to make it look good and professional. However I lost some of the clips and I become really nervous as the deadline was rally close. This meant that I had to redo the missing clips which included importing, cutting and adding effects to them again. This was really hard for me as it gave me less time to edit and less time to focus on the other activities.

Finally I decided to add some sound to build up the tension for the audience. My company friend Dawn did all the sound in which I help her a bit by adding my ideas if I like it or if it needs changing and does it match the video. I imported the sound and dragged it under the video but it did not work for some reason. At last i figured out that I dragged it to the wrong place and that was the reason why it did not work. so I fixed it straight away and the problem was gone which made me happy as I was nearly finished.

Once I finished all the editing I was really happy because I showed it to the rest of my group and we all liked it. After this I converted the video into a movie that came out to be successful. I have used Premier Pro before which really helped me as I knew how to use it. But I also learnt how to add effects because I did not know how to do it. Also having difficulties with the sound helped me to understand were exactly to drag the sound. Adding to the sound. There was an option that you could drag and make the sound louder  or make it quitter which I only learned while editing the final production.
