Premiere - Practice

Dancing Animals




Editing

For this task we were introduced to a new type of software, Adobe Premiere CS5. This software allows you to import any video file (.mng) or any audio file (.mp3) and then edit it yourself using the huge variety of special effects.

I used a series of video effects to enhance my first experience of Adobe Premiere. Firstly, is used a colour inversion effect when the tiger scores a basket, i found this effect very useful as it enhances a significant moment in the video, making it stand out from the rest of the footage. Secondly, I decided to use a vertical warp effect when the bear performs the splits, and this effect lasts for one second. Initially, I placed a standard circular warp effect at this time however it disfigured the entire image so it was not suited for this particular scene. Another effect I used was the lightning bolt whilst the bear is free-styling. I chose to use this effect because it represents a striking moment yet it is a subtle way of doing so, therefore it is perfect for this video. One of my favourite effects I installed was the black & white effect. This gives the video a retro style and also captures the fine details in the footage which you would not usually see in an old-style black & white film.

Finally, to end my video I ensured to install the fade out transition to end the footage and then i also used an exponential fade when deciding to end the music. In conclusion, I enjoyed my first experience of Adobe Premiere and I eventually adapted to the different controls in the software. On the other hand, I feel that i could have included more effects in the latter part of the video, yet our time on this task was limited therefore it was difficult to perfect the entire footage.
