1. Editing process
I used Adobe Premiere and Adobe After
effects in order to edit the footage for the
film trailer. I used premiere to make the
basic timeline, and after effects to edit clips
in more detail.
I sorted the files into the composition of Adobe premiere.
This allows me to get files and drag them onto my
timeline. I made many files regarding different
components as it will be easier to locate. For example,
the intro of the movie, film day one and two are in
separate folders. I also included a folder for the sounds.
Here is a screenshot of the effects and pre-sets in Adobe premiere.
These are little tweaks which can be used and dragged into the
either video or audio. I used some of these in order to make the
trailer look more professional. For example under the video effects
there is a ‘levels’ component.
This helped me make the lighting change so in the dark clips, I used
this to make it clearer and as if more lighting was there.
Original Edited
Here is the timeline, I have many layers for both audio and video.
2. When clicking a layer,
there is a screen which
shows the effect
controls, meteda and
the source (video). As
you can see the file
MV1_2092 is currently
under the effects
control. This allows me
to adjust the video in
many ways. The
opacity, size, colour,
blueness and much
more.
When clicking on audio files, a similar window
pops up. This window contains the effects control
for the sound files. I can control how to fade the
sounds, or make the volume decrease. I can
overlap sounds or even change the frequency
levels. I made sure to learn how to use the effects
control as I will need to overlap some sounds over
others. For instance when vocals need to be
heard over the soundtrack, I will decrease the
soundtrack.
I used Adobe after effects in order to create the POV type of effect
3. I first imported the files just like I would with Adobe premiere, however this time I
downloaded a film recording template which looks like this.
I inserted this template to the video clips I wanted to make look as if they were recorded off
a handheld camera. To make it even more realistic, I also added a red circle on the video
which flashes during the clip making it seem as if it is live.
In the effects and pre-sets, I added a night vision effect and
managed the opacity to zero. This made the quality of the shot
look less and emphasizes the hand held camera look.
I also added a sound of a television glitch and inserted a data glitch video. This is simply
when the channel is changed a fuzzy noise and look is played. I inserted these into a range
of my clips to even make the hand held shots seem more realistic.
