We were first asked to create a new folder in our hard drives for this Television Project and then create four folders within the main folder, these include, Audio, Images, Rushes (video) and The Premiere Project. These folders will be used when I come to editing the TV Advert in Premiere, by having the different folders my work and files can be easily organised and therefore when I come to using an Audio for example I can easily locate the file and import into Premiere Pro.
Within this workshop we were introduced to the basics of Premiere Pro and we were shown how to set up a new project within Premiere Pro and the way in which you do this is by selecting new project on the opening screen in Premiere and then select the setting of Wide screen DV- PAL 48 Hz. You then select the Place in which you want the project to be saved to, therefore I was shown how to browse to find my hard drive and find the Advert Project and select the folder for the Premiere Project, therefore the Premiere project will save to the hard drive in the organised files.
W e were then shown how to import the files such as the Audio, Images and Rushes, you select File-Import-Audio, Rushes and Images import the whole folder into Premiere Pro, these will then appear on the left hand side of the computer screen, these are then there for you to take files easily from the folders into the timeline. To insert the files such as the Audio into the timeline you simply drag the audio from the folder in Premiere to the Audio 1 in the timeline, this will then play the song, to create a key frame to fade the music in and out. To do this within the timeline there is a key frame button which is used to add a dot onto the timeline and then drag the yellow line on the Audio timeline down to fade out and up to fade in, by learning this skill it has really helped me in understanding the way in which music can be edited within Premiere and how I can use it to edit the TV Advert.
To add Rushes into Premiere Pro you double click on the video and it will appear on the left hand side of the screen, you are then able to select the piece of video within the video which you want to use, to do this you play the video at the start of the part you want to use , press i, pause the video when it has finished at the point which you want and then press o. This will then highlight this part on the video timeline on the preview of the video, you then drag the video into Video 1 on the timeline and you can then link the audio and video together by highlighting the two files on the timeline and select Project in the toolbar and select link, these two files will then play at the same time. I also learnt how to add another part of the video to the first part, you repeat the way in which you cut the first video and drag the video into the same timeline, into video 1.
Effects: Video Transitions: The next step was to create a transition, there are many different transitions and effects within Premiere Pro, I used the simple effect of a Dissolve, which simply connects both of the different videos in the timeline, this was effective and connected the two different video clips well, this effect was added to both of the video clips in the timeline.
Split Screen: To create a split screen effect you carry out the process of selecting the video clip and adding it to the video 1 in the timeline and then copy this video clip into video 2 on the timeline. You then select Motion on the effects above the video on the preview screen and to save an image of the video, you export the frame and save in the images folder, you can then edit the colour balance in the effects and this can change the colour of the images and I created a pop art effect with an image.
Images: I created a mock Pack Shot for the Kit Kat advert within Photoshop, for this file to work in Premiere Pro CS3 we needed to save the PSD as a PNG in the images folder and then import this into Premiere Pro and import this into the timeline in video 2, this will then appear over the video which is being played on the timeline.
Through this workshop I have learnt many new skills and I now feel more confident in using Premiere Pro and I feel I now know the basics to edit a video effectively and I believe I will be able to edit my advert with the skills I have learnt in Premiere Pro today.
