Lesson of 11/10/10

In this lesson Debbie and I focused on editing and putting together my opening scene of "footloose". We had finished filming the scenes however we had to import them onto the software of Premiere Pro. By doing this, we had to link the camera to the computer and capture the different scenes by pressing the recording button so it recorded the specific scene and we had to press stop for when each scene ended at the time we wanted it to. They then automatically went on the side of the premiere pro and we could drag them onto the part where we could edit and cut parts down for the only clips we needed. This was very simple as we knew where to cut the clips and whether it was in time with the music. We then had to add titles to the right clip and made sure that the effect used to fade out the titles on the clips were at the right time for the next clip to begin. The effect we used was additive dissolve. I enjoyed putting this clip together and think I have learned a lot with the different tools on Premiere Pro and how to use a camera and tripod properly. This has given me a good head start on my actual video piece that we start after the holidays.
