Premiere Video Making

Task 1

Using your own video or the supplied Youtube videos or my Vivid.mp4. You are to create you own video in Adobe Premiere.

The purpose of this module is for students to learn movie editing technologies using Premiere.

Subject to the availability of cameras next term, this will extend into filming great movies, editing and then rendering them.

The availability of cameras should be known this week, after (too many) delays.

This will be the first of four tasks to be completed in this movie making module.

This task is a about making a combination of a number of the movies, which you then have to:

Edited, by selecting parts of several of the supplied movies and make them into one 15 minutes (or more) movie.

If you have your own movies, go for it and there is no need to use the Youtubes supplied.

Insert transitions into the movie in Premiere.

Add in After Effects, using Adobe After Effects.

You could if you wanted to remove the audio or some of the audio and place in a sound track, or two.

Then render the final video as an .mp4.

Then finally play your movie up on the big screen.

Task 2

Task 2 Is a more detailed task and involves making the movie and then editing it:

You are to create an educational movie with the schools DSLR/Video cameras:

Find a suitable location or locations.

You are to design an educational video.

You will then need to:

Prepare a script.

Storyboard the scenes.

Prepare a materials and equipment list for the props and equipment you need to use.

Rehearse any of the actors (If applicable).

Prepare a voiceover (if applicable).

Shoot the video.

Edit the video in the appropriate software, being Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects.

Use or non-use of sound - possibly look at including audio attributes such as voiceovers and/or sound tracks.

Important to note:

Lighting is a high component of video. There's nothing worse than a 'grainy - badly lit video.

The use of appropriate backdrops, sets and scene changes are important, as they add 'colour' and props to the actors and scenes.

You may consider green screening which is common in video as a still, or video background with the main scene in the foreground, shot against a green screen, then the green screen background is replaced with a different scene, or scenes.

The video should be15 minutes to 30 minutes in length.

Task 3

Is to make a third movie as your ultimate creation, following all the guidelines in Task 2 above and working on what has been already learnt.
