CityScape- Premier Pro Practice
To help us get used to Adobe Premier Pro, I created a thirty second piece with short clips of London City.
To start off, we imported all the clips, audio and Visual into Premier Pro, we then selected the video clips we wanted to use, after this we put them in order with the accompanying sounds in the one below, titled "Audio 1"
Once the clips were in place, I introduced myself to the 'razor tool' this tool is very handy, as you can cut out pieces of video that you do not want, I also edited the motion controls, depending whether I wanted to slow it down or speed it up, in my case, I slowed down the opening shot of the city, I also slowed down the shot of the gherkin, because I felt like it rushed into the other clips to fast. I sped up several clips, like the taxi shot, the crowd scene, also, the café shot, even though it was already fast, I made it slightly faster.
I enlarged all the clips, as they were quite small, to make the clips flow better as if to be a mini opening scene, I put in some transitions.
So my clip didn't sound too quiet, I added an audio sound, when it came to choosing the one I wanted, I wanted it to fit in with my clip. In the end, after browsing through my selection, I chose an audio called 'Continued On' from a Royalty Free Source. The Song was long enough to cover my whole clip, so after my video had finished, I used the razor tool to cut the last remaining bit off. I played my video through, and it seemed like it ended too quickly with the music, so I used the "Audio Effects" tool, to slow the end of the song so it gradually slowed and then stopped, instead of coming to an abrupt end.
Lastly, I added a title into the beginning of my video, using these title tools, I could choose where I wanted the title to be, the size of it, colours, and font, after I designed it, I simply dragged it into the 'Video 2' box, and made sure it was right at the beginning line, I put it in 'Video 2' to make the title overlap the video, so you could see both at the same time. To finish it, I added Transitions to make my title fade out instead of just disappearing.
I enjoyed doing this task, and I learnt a lot about Premier Pro and the tools to use and how I use them.
