Premier pro first experience

Last week me and the other members of the class had the great opportunity to use premier pro for the first time. This lesson we edited videos which we recorded the week before also known as induction week. We used premier pro as it was the software provided to us although I think that premier pro also makes the work look professional. We were given a video tutorial on how to use the software and it showed the key activities we would need to do for example importing content. To start we imported several bits of film we recorded and made note of what scene and take it was along with a description of what happened in the specific video. After watching back what we recorded we needed to crop some parts as there was disruptions and mistakes made. We cropped these bits out because otherwise it would make the work look sloppy in addition with it being cropped everything would flow nicely. In this we edited some areas of audio so that we could overlay it with music. We did this because we originally thought that the whole film would look a lot better as a silent film with some eerie music to cause more tension. Afterwards we parted the videos from each other so that the events in the film in a perspective of time felt realistic. By making this timeframe it helps the audience understand what the next perspective/ angle may be. We were able to find some music on YouTube and decided to convert it as a mp3 file. We decided to do this because we did not need the video from YouTube but only the music/ audio. Once we had downloaded the mp3 file for our music same as the videos we imported it and cropped it so that it didn't last too long. By playing the music over the silent video it was clear to me and the group that that music was good for the film. Finally we edited a black image to have text on it to make a small credit scene to portray professionalism then we exported the whole project.
