Task 3

Editing

I edited the footage I had with Adobe Premier Pro CS6. When it loaded up I clicked on new project, and then imported all my footage by clicking on File > Import > and then I selected all my files and clicked Open.




After that all my footage appeared at the bottom left corner. Then I dragged and dropped the footage on the right and placed all my footage in order. Even the images I made for the trailer which are the sponsors I created.

 
Then I selected the footage and cropped them to the right length,by selecting one side so a red cursor appears and then cropping it so its the footage I want with no extra scenes.

Also I found it difficult to change the lighting from one of my footage's because when I shot the scene the lighting was too bright so I tried to edit the lighting in this software but it didn't really change much. After I realized that I could have fixed the lighting by changing the setting on the camera. But I was going to re film the scene but the actors were busy. So I had to just use the footage I had in the best way possible.

I went to the bottom left and clicked on Effects > Video Effects > Colour Correction and then selected Brightness & Contrast and dragged and dropped it on to the footage I wanted to edit. 

 

 Then on the top left I clicked on Effects Controls > Brightness & Contrast and decreased the brightness and increased the contrast. 




 

Even though I edited the lighting the footage was still to bright. But I still used it anyway.





After that I edited the sound of the footage by clicking on it and then going to effect at the top left, and increasing or decreasing the volume of my sound, so its just right. 

 

Then I added extra sound like music and sound effects, for example a car crash sound. The same way I would add my footage, by going to File > Import > and then selecting all the sound I want in my trailer then click Open. Then select them from the bottom left and drag and drop them in the wright place, and crop them to the correct length.

 




After that I created my intro by clicking on Title > New Title > Default Still. 








Then I clicked on the Type button on the top left, and after that I clicked on the center and typed the in the text I wanted, and highlighted all of it so I could change the font by clicking on one of the box's under Title Style. Then on the right I clicked on Background > Colour and changed the colour green. Then above that there was a text colour changer which I clicked on to change the colour of the text to wight. Then on the left bottom left I clicked on the two box's under the word Center so my text would be in the middle of the page, and then I pressed the X button on the top right. 

Then on the bottom Left I selected my title and dragged and dropped it to the beginning of my trailer. Then I created another Title for the end with the title of the trailers name, which is First Date and I put Coming Soon.


 
Then I created my video by going on File > Export > Media














 

Then I clicked on Format > Windows Media Player

I made sure the length of the video was write by looking at the bottom of the window that was opened, that looks yellow  and made sure its 2.30 minutes long because, when i looked at it, it was a minute longer and if I exported it,the footage would have an extra minute at the end of the video that would be blank.









 







And then I clicked Export
