Editing workshop 1

 Editing workshop 1:

During our workshop today we worked on editing skills for when we come to creating and editing together our work when shooting our opening title sequence. 

A few weeks back in our camera workshop we made a some clips using the camera skills that we learnt in the workshop, today we learnt how to properly edit and cut the shots to make it a edited and clean clip using adobe premier pro.

We all got put into our groups for when we filmed the scenes, in pairs in front of a apple MacBook with the software on and our footage that we got uploaded. 

Firstly we looked through all the footage we had created that day in our workshop, to see what we were dealing with, we then went on to use control button on the MacBook aswell as pressing C to “cut” parts of the bits we wanted to use and spilt our video into two separate videos.

The screen is divided so one section is the timeline and the other sections are the rushes and the preview window and the final window for how the screen is divided.

We cut the clips (our footage) into the sections we wanted to use for our video before we put our final video together and placed it into a separate folder.

The word “rushes” is a term used in editing to describe the raw and unedited footage. 

The word “daily’s” is the term used for long footage which hasn’t been cut or stopped, a long and drawn out clip.

Once you have edited and shortened down the clip it is important to save the edited part. Using the keyboard Cltrl+C as it is a quick and easy shortcut so you don’t loose footage.

For a short cut key of arrow is by using right or left arrows to move frames, up arrow is used to move backwards to the start of the clip or the next edit on the clip.

To mark an in or out point you drag the play head onto and press the keyboard letter I for an in point. For an out point drags the play head and then press the keyboard letter O.

If your footage once edited is all crammed togotheer and small pressing + and - will help change the size of the footage we=hen editing so it is clearer for us to see what and where we are editing footage.

To quickly undo a stage in which you have mistakenly done, pressing Cltrl Z will undo the mistake and take your step back one step.

This is our final edited video that myself and Freya edited:
