Diary

I am now going to start to put together my college promotion video with the footage that I have gotten so far. First I opened up Adobe Premiere Element 10, the first thing that I did so I wouldn’t be looking through loads and loads of footage is I made two folders, as that all I need for now until I get

more footage. I clicked on this which then put in a folder for me then I double clicked on it so I could rename it and give it more of a better name so they footage that I wanted to find would be more easier to find. I did this for a second time.

It then places the folders in this table, this table is where all media goes, it makes sure sense to add folders, now it’s time to add the footage and place them in the correct folder. First I’ll put the interview with the Uni student in first, so I am going to click on the folder.

Which them takes me here, now I am going to add the footage buy clicking on the ‘get media’ icon which is at the top and in the middle of the three icon. Once I clicked on that it will then take me into my folders where I can then find the footage that I want adding.

once I found it I then highlight it and then click on open.

Then this loading bar appears which mean it’s place the footage in.

Now the table is filled up with the footage that I had gotten.

I then dragged the footage that I will cut and changed into the timeline waiting for me to start cutting and change them around.

I imported the college clips in the same way as the interview clips, and the I dragged the clips that I wanted from the clips, once it was in the time line I then cut the bits that I didn’t want from the clip

by clicking on this cuts the bit that I didn’t want and then I just deleted it. But if I wanted to use

that clip again then I would just put that clip into the timeline and then I would just use the bits that I want. But then once I got the first clip done and sorted to how I liked it. I then put in the other clip that I then cut that down to how I wanted it to be again and now I am going to put in a slide transition in between both of those clips together and make them look good when they go between

each other. First I click on Edit

which then changes what I could click on.

Then I clicked on transition, and then under it has the clips that I selected so I know what clip it is that I am going transition, as you can see I have quite a lot of different effects, I looked through the different affects to find the one that

I wanted. This is the one in which I wanted to use for the

first transition once I have found the one that I wanted I have clicked on it the then dragged it from transition and into the time line.

But when you drag it into the timeline, you don’t place it on the clip itself you put it in the box in between here and then it will make the two slide transition together towards the end of the first clip and at the start of the next clip. I then put in more clips and did the same, cut the clips to make them sorter and more usable. Then I put slide transition in between the two new clips and then I did the same thing as I did before by placing the transition in the box in the middle box and then once that done it then worked. Once I did that, I did the same thing over again until I was happy with what I was getting from these clips.

This is now what my time line looks like with the clips added in, so far I’ve cut it down it will be about 21 second but even that is still too long for different shots of the college. I would find the end of the

start if the clips and cut it down by using to make it short. I did a few more times so that each clip I was putting in was nice and short, as I want the video to only be about a minute or two so it’s quick and gets to the point. I also decided to change the style of the interviews as I can’t get the other shot to work so it’ll be the one shot which will be cut down.

On one of the clips I’ve got to turn up there sound as it’s a little too quiet, first I am going to select the clip that needed to be turned up

Then I clicked on the speaker which is above the clips and then a drop down menu appeared, now that the drop menu appeared I am now going to click on the Audio Mix, as it’s the audio I want turning up.

Then I clicked on the audio mix

Then this came up, I e levelled everything so that the audio for that clip would be the only one that would be able to be heard. I made sure that Audio was the highest, because the sound is coming from audio 1, so making sure that was the highest was the main thing. Once I was done with that I then clicked the close button and now that clip should be loader than it was before.

Now that’s done I am now going to need to put two clips over each other so that it will give a voice over effect on the video. The way I am going to is to pick the clip that I want and then I’ll just drag it

over.

Then I just put the clip into video and audio 2 and now when that plays it will be that clip showing but video and audio 1 sound that you’ll be able to hear

Now that the video is done I am now going to put in some music to go with the video, I got the video and converted from Youtube.

I went in to get media, and then this came up and now I am going to click on files and folders, because that’s where the music is based in a folder in my documents.

Then this came up, now I will find the music, which is in this folder, now that I’ve found the music I am going to double click on it

which now the music is sorted into the table where I get all my videos. Now that is in I am going to drag the music from there and then place it into soundtrack.

now the music is in the soundtrack and plays when the video starts to play.

Now I am going to export the video. First I am going into Share.

Then this came up, now I am going to click on Export to computer as I want it on my computer so I can find it. then I clicked on it

Then this came up, I put it on HD, as that what I filmed in and then I am going to give it a title and then save it my work document so I can find it when I need to. Once I’ve sorted all that out I then pressed on save

Then this came up, this now mean that my video is being exported to the folder where I told it to go

Now it’s saved in my work space so I’ll be able to find it when I need to.
