My CityScape Opening
For this task, we were asked to create a Cityscape Film Opening by using imported clips of everyday activities in London. To create the opening, we used a program called Adobe Premiere Pro which is a professional program designed to create and edit movie and sound clips. As it was the first time I was using this program, I found some of the features confusing and found that it seemed a bit complicated. However when I started getting into the editing, I picked up on using different tools and features, such as:
The Cutting Tool - I used this tool to slice clips where I wanted them to end if they were too long or start if I wanted a different perspective. This tool is used commonly in editing as there will always be part of films which aren't wanted or are too long for the scene.
Unlinking Sound - I used this if there was a digetic sound within the clip which I didn't want, I could get rid of. I did this by right-clicking and selecting the 'Unlink Sound' feature.
Speed/Duration - If I came across a clip or a part of my film I wanted to speed up or be slowed down, then this is the feature I would use. To use this, I right-clicked and selected 'Speed/Duration'.
Resizing - As most of my clips were too small for the screen, I had to re-size them to make them fit the whole screen, I did this by going through 'Window;Effects Control;Motion Control' and then resizing them like I would with a normal picture.
When I finished editing and adding the final touches to my opening, I compressed the file and sent it to my Media teacher to be put onto YouTube. Below is my final piece which I am pleased with as it is my first piece used in Premiere Pro, but if I were to remake this, I would add more of a selection of effects and maybe change around a few clips to make it seem more interesting. However as it was my first attempt, I think it's fine the way it is.
