Editing our Footage using Adobe Premiere Pro.

After getting used to the Camera Equipment last week, experimenting with the different buttons and adjusting the tri-pod to various positions. It was decided this week that we become more familiar with the editing software Adobe Premier Pro; we did upload our footage but didn’t really start editing it last week.

So, today we used the capturing technique to select all of the footage we wanted and placed the clips onto the timeline in a logical order. We also learned how to trim the clips to the size we wanted them and how to render work together once we had made a change. The final part which we added to our footage was including titles to the sequence which showed what it was called and therefore gave a glimpse as to what it was about.  

Overall I found this lesson enjoyable, slightly confusing learning how to use the software at first but once you begin to see your work beginning to look like a real story with a plot and good shots coming together it encourages you to carry on editing and making it look even better. However this wasn’t our best piece of work as we were still unsteady with the camera equipment, we did do a good job at covering most of our mishaps up with good editing used to cut parts out.

Here are some of the Technical words associated with camera work and editing I learnt in today’s lesson, I have placed them on Bold above, they are:

1.       Capture
