Premiere Pro is a new program to me and so I’ve found many different features in it which I can use to make my music video look more professional and to help convey my star image better.

One tool I’ve used in Premiere is the text tool. This tool is how we’re planning on adding a title card to the beginning of the video to introduce the song. The text tool was helpful because it allowed us to choose what font and colour we wanted our text in; it can also be used to add a drop shadow or adjust the spacing of the letters which meant we could get the exact font we envisioned. This will contribute to a more cohesive music video because our song title card will match our mise-en-scene and we have also learnt how to place it in keyframes so that it appears on screen to the beat of the song.

A second tool I’ve learnt to use in Premiere is the warp stabilizer which has been really helpful to correct footage which we want to use but is not completely stable. This tool helps to focus the shot onto a certain point and from that stabilizes the video around it which was useful when we had a shot that we needed to use turn out a little shaky. This tool helped to make the video look well shot throughout and get rid of some minor filming errors without having to reshoot.
