Film Progress Post

Film Progress Post
 
Its been about half way in our film process and it's starting to come together to look more like a film opening scene. Since we've started editing on Premier Pro we have learnt how to use it to its full potential including how to use the tools, what techniques to do as well as many other things. 

Here are some of the tools I've learnt to use:


This cuts a clip wherever you click it so you can move parts of the footage.

This tool stretches out the clip as well as speeds it up.

This moves all the clips at the same time so you don't have to do it               individually. 

When using After Effects to make the first logo we found it hard to use the programme so we used a YouTube tutorial to help us create the animated logo. However we don't like our current logo therefore we are going to make a new one. 











Another thing I've learnt since using Premier Pro is that you need to render your timeline every time a part of it is red. By rendering it, it makes the clips more smooth and fluent. If the part is green that means it has been rendered and you do not need to render it again. 
To render it you highlight the parts you want to render and then click on 'sequence' then 'render effects in work area'. If you want to render all of it at the end you can press 'render entire work area'. 

We have had a lot of issues with our editing as we had no sound to go over the top there for as we were editing we were going into a sound studio to record some voice-overs and sound to go over the top of the film. However we had more problems when filming the sound, the sound recorder we used was far too sensitive and picked up extra noise that we couldn't get rid of in editing. Only some of the sounds were okay to use. To solve this we used a camera to record the sounds as a camera mic isn't as sensitive. Hopefully in our next few editing sessions the sounds we have recorded will be okay to used.
