Editing Video
Today I want to work on editing a longer video. In the LAC folder, download the Sharon_Video_A1.MOV. Put it in a folder on the desktop. Open Adobe Premiere and create a new project. Import the MOV file; then save the project file in the folder.
Our first step should be to watch through the video and break it into clips. Rename the clips.
Next, let’s edit each individual clip: we want to focus on the most informative part of Sharon’s responses.
Next, we should think about storyboarding our video. Remember that our final videos need to be around 1 minute long. We should save 5 seconds for our introduction (b-roll, music, title credits/logo). Near the end of class, we’ll get a sense of who has made the cleanest cuts and upload them to the folder.
We won’t have time today, but the next step of editing would be to j and l cuts.
Also, we will have to work to sync up the video file with the audio file.
Homework
I’m awarding points for the b-roll footage. So far, Taylor, Brenna, and Trent have completed this. Looking through their contributions, I think we could use more wide shots of buildings, something to use as an establishing shot.
By next Wednesday’s class, I want everyone to produce a 3-7 second intro sequence–something similar to Clark’s sequence but shorter. This sequence should use some b-roll, contain a Building a Strong Foundation / Liberal Arts Foundation logo, a way of introducing a class and the faculty member. LATER we will add some copyleft background music.
Because some people are lagging behind with their b-roll, I suggest you start by drafting a potential logo and title in Photoshop. Feel free to upload .psd file to the drive. I have a few files in there you can work with.
