Premiere Pro is the software I will be using to create my film opening, so this blog post will help me understand more about this software to excel when it comes to editing techniques. After learning the basics of the software in class, I can guide myself through the software well. However, by learning more tips I can expand the knowledge I have to be even more comfortable with Premiere Pro.
The first helpful trick that will help me based on my genre is color correcting clips. After researching different color theories and lighting in the Bildungsroman genre its important to edit my clips to a specific color pattern; romantic and natural lighting.
By clicking the clip I want to color on my timeline, then going to lumetri color and clicking master I can color the rest of my clips. If i hadn't known this I would probabaly be coloring each of my clips manually instead of using the "master" option to make my editing process easier.
The next tip given for Premiere Pro editing is going to be really handy when it comes to editing and using lower thirds in my clips.
By clicking on the program monitor first then edit and show rulers I can measure my lower thirds to have them more alligned. This helps make my film opening better when having my title text box be alligned rather than all over the place.
Two other smaller yet helpful tips I learned in this video. By selecting the timeline bar and then clicking sequence I can close the gaps that come between my clips. My first editing practice with Premiere Pro I had problems with closing the gaps between all my clips, because it was really time consuming. So, this helps me with the managing the numerous clips I will have to edit. The next one is bringing in clips with both the audio and the clip itself. Before learning this tip I would have to manually drag in by using the audio and video icon. Now, by mkaing sure the source path track A1 and A2 are colored in blue I can drag in a clip that comes with both audio and the video making editing a whole lot faster.
Overall, all of these tips are going to be useful and they are centered on my exact needs. For example, lower thirds is essential in this project, and to keep my film on theme with my genre color correcting is also vital. If I hadn't done this research I would be completely lost on how to locate certain options. Although I learned basics like where the timeline is located, how to cut clips, and adding lower thirds. This research being recorded on my blog post will also help me comeback to it in time for my film opening.
