Editing - Preliminary task


Editing out preliminary task, after finally being able to upload this (it took over 1hour to upload from the camera to the PC). At first editing proved quite tricky due to the fact I had never used Adobe Premiere Elements. But it seemed pretty basic and I got the hang of it after a while. Overall it took about 1 ½ hour to edit our clip to the standard that we wanted it. It proved to be challenging to try and get the match on action to match up, but after a couple of goes it was fine.
Another thing that was annoying is that we didn’t actually have a shot of Milly sitting down, (possibly got taped over) and so after the door has been opened you see Milly walk in and then its dissolves into a shot of us sitting down at the table. Some feedback from our peers was that this transition was possibly too quick, so we explained the problem we encountered. We decided to add titles to our clip, we decided this because it makes it more interesting and also most clips/films have titles. Finally we decided to add music to our clip. This was more difficult than you think because we found a website with hundreds of sounds on but getting to listen to them and working out whether they will go or not with the clip was actually quite tricky. Finally we decided on one that would go and match our clip. We added this and then saved our work. Editing was now complete and we exported this to a different file format so we could upload this to YouTube and then our blog.
