Video Editing


Once we have filmed all of the interviews and footage we wanted I started on the video editing. To do this I used Adobe Premier Pro. I didn’t find it too hard to use and we have used it previously in class, but I did learn that you need to have a lot of patience as you have to be to the best of our ability and make sure you try your best to get a professional finish.
What I found the hardest was when you had to cut out bits you didn’t want people saying on the clip and make sure it fades back in without any glitches.  For example the first person we interviewed said ‘College is good bit boring at times but yeh I think it’s a good college’. Obviously these video clips are being used to make a promotional website saying ‘it’s a bit boring’ is not a good way to promote the college.
I enjoyed doing the video editing as it’s something I wanted to learn more about. I feel doing this job on this assignment I have got a lot more confidence in using Adobe Premier Pro.
1.      First I had to choose what set up we were going to use
2.      Then it will come up with the editing programme and you need to go to go on file and import to import the video you wish to edit
3.  Once the video had been imported it came up on the timeline and into the two screens on the top to be able to watch back your edit
4.  After that I concentrated on cutting out the bits I don’t need to start off with. So the first thing I done was to take out everything apart from the interviews. Then after I had just the interviews without other footage I could then concentrate on working on each interview individually. I find it made it a lot easier to do them step by step then doing it all in one chunk
