1st editing workshop

Editing our two sequences

All of our group helped edit this sequence in the editing suite. We were first taught by Matt how to edit on the software Premiere Pro. He showed us a step and then we repeated it in our own sequences. He first showed us how to look through all of our shots that we had taken and put them in a folder called the rushes. Then he told us to be the edited ones in the log bin incase we lost the original shots. We were then showed how to cut the shots and put them on the timeline. This was bit more challenging as you had to make sure to not cut too much off the shot. We were also reminded not to cut the shot on the 'action', which means that if someone is walking into the frame, don't cut when they are mid walking but before they enter the frame. Once we had everything on the time line we organised them into the correct order and made sure that everything flowed and nothing was overlapping. Our concept for the first sequence was to film Issy bending down and tying her shoelace and the one for the second one we filmed Mia and I doing a handshake. One thing that I learnt throughout this process which will help for the rest of the editing workshops is how to use the cutting buttons and the arrow button. If you learn how to use these buttons quickly then it will make the editing process faster.
