Priorities rough draft


The values that we are trying to represent is priorities.
What I think my group has done well was the editing the videos sound
effects and music to fit the video.
We still need to film and then the new video into our video that's already in Premiere Pro.
We want to know if our shots fit well together in the video and if the music fits the shot.
A challenge that our group discovered was filming our actual script can be difficult if some of the recording takes place at another persons home outside of school. We are planning to modify since we did not record outside of school. We had a discussion on what the actors were going to say and what they were going to do. We have made a couple of scenarios that can replace the part that takes place outside of school. We are planning to take out the whole home part of the script and maybe change it so that it takes place in school and not outside of school.

OTS Project



Our group planned the shots keeping in mind the rule of thirds and to not resord towards the sun. We also tried to pick a spot were their would be less interuptions and noise form the other groups. Planning on how the shots are going to be taken need to be planned before you start shooting so you don't mess up by making up the shots on the spot and so you don't run out of recording time.
We did try to follow the rule of thirds because it gives us more control of what we want the audience to look at so they better understand what is going on in the shot and so they wont be distracted by other things in the shot that are less important.
The over the shoulder shots give the impression that the people are having a conversation or what the person might be looking at kind of like an POV shot. It works by having a camera shot over the shoulder of one person looking at another person.
The dialogue seems realistic in the final edit. The only challenge we had in the final edit were cutting the clip into smaller clips to get the conversation.
There is a dominant tone in our video. The dominant tone in our video is boring. We accomplished this by not showing any emotion in our video.
Another observation that I have about using over the shoulder shots is that it helps the audience place the character in their setting.
Others ideas that are emphasized to make effective videos are that having backround noice can sometimes be good in a shot and that facing the camera toward the sun is not good.

This is an example of an lower thirds title, which means having a clip on the lower third of the screen. You might use this kind of title to label a location or to show a persons name.

This is an example of an fullscreen title, which means having a full title on the whole screen . You might use this kind of title at the beginning of a clip or as a transition between two clips.

This is an example of an template title, which means having a title bar on the lower third of the screen. You might use this kind of title when showing an interview clip. To do this you click on Title then on New title

A simple cut in the timeline means deleting a clip off the timeline while leaving a gap where the clip was deleted. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline have a gap in between.
A ripple edit is when a clip is deletied and there is no gap left where the clip was deleted. You do this by right clicking the clip and selecting "Ripple Delete". When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip move to fill the gap.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to delete a clip at one time. To do this, you set the in and out points on the timeline and click on the lift button on the program panel.
Lifting is like deleting a clip and leaving a gap on the timeline between the clips, while extracting is like filling the gap, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of an lifting and extracting edit. I decided to edit the two clips where I did because thats where the original clip was.

This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip top of the existing clip. To do this, you drag the clip onto the tmeline and the drag the clip over the other clip and place it there. I decided to place the 2nd clip where I did because It was where it had the best effect.


This is an example of an inserty edit. An insert edit places a clip top of the existing clip while holding Ctrl. To do this, you drag the clip onto the tmeline and the drag the clip over the other clip while holding Ctrl and place it there. I decided to place the 2nd clip where I did because It it had the best effect.
The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is that in an overlay the video does not split the video in two.
You would use an overlay when you want to show that time is continuous, while you’d use an insert edit when you want to show different scences that are happening at the same time without time being continuous. In this case the ovelay edit works better because having a more realistic time gives the video a better effect and looks much better.

SBHS Student Interviews





I think I'm getting better at using Premiere Pro. I did a good job of picking a title for my project. I'm happy with the way I put the clips together. On my next project, I would like to learn how to add video effects to a clip. If I could do this project over , I would re-edit it with a better ending for the video. On this project I gained a better idea about how to import files into Premiere faster. Mr. Achterman helped me figure out how to import the clips faster and easier into Premiere
