Today, we used Adobe Premier Pro to edit our preliminary task, however we did encounter some problems. Some of these problems included not knowing how to edit clips together properly or crop them successfully. We were given a manual on how to use the program, however we neglected to consult this as we did not find this as useful as it could've been, therefore we decided to figure out how to do it on our own. This, as we found, was not the best of ideas.
Unfortunately, we captured all our film at once and not in separate blocks, thus making it harder to edit successfully. We used the 'set in' and 'set out' points in order to crop the film into appropriate sections, however we found this was frustrating and time consuming as we had to time it perfectly in order to obtain the clips we wanted. This occasionally did not go to plan, and we had to start our work again numerous times before we could actually continue to edit properly.
However, after a while we began to understand how to edit our clips together, and to even add transitions such as fade to black and adding titles to the finished product. We also obtained some music from a copyright free source to play over the top of the climax of the sequence. This was obtained from http://derekaudette.ottwaarts.com and we chose 'The Long Road Into The Night'. We thought this fitted appropriately with the piece.
We did however establish some problems once we began to watch our filming back, and discovered we broke the 180 degree rule. In order for this to not become a problem again, we need to think more carefully about positioning whilst filming. Also, there was a considerable amount of background noise that interfered with the dialogue, including white noise buzzing and the sound of the classes in the English block where we filmed. For this problem to be resolved in the future, the location needs to be chosen wisely and any factors which may interfere have to be taken into account.
