Editing [SESSION_1]


Finally we were in the editing suites. After weeks of pondering on what our footage was gonna look like, it was time. Time to see the most magnificent piece of not only coursework but art. We open the project. The footage is loading. We scroll through the clips. Wait... hang on. Everything looks rubbish.

The camera quality was of the quality of an iPhone 4S, while the cinematography was of the quality of a GoPro being strapped to a pineapple. I had mucked up. It was horrible, everything just looked rubbish.

Right. How am I going to fix this. After we had a quick tutorial on how to use Premiere Pro CC from Matt the dude, it was time to strap it. First of all we scrolled through every clip pulling in all the best parts of each clip into the time line. While pulling these clips into the timeline we put them into sections, if what was going e.g. for the doors opening in the van we would pull all the best clips of that into one section within the timeline, then the next scene into another area of the timeline. Once we dropped in all the clips we liked into the time line, we began pulling the play-head over and over the clips we had. This was our log. I tried to keep my cool within the group, but I was lost. How was going to complete this project. The cinematography was all wrong. Now it was time for the editor to come save the day.
