Whilst editing our second draft of our music video, we were lucky enough to receive a visit from members of the creative team at Specsavers and the Digital Greenhouse later on in the week. They provided us with lots of tips and tricks for using Premiere Pro effectively and some great feedback on what we had already done.

One tool that they taught us how to use was the mask tool. This enabled us to make ‘clones’ of our performer and change the opacity of different layers. Our editing has also been made easier by the team teaching us how to use the adjustment layer. This enables us to add an effect to a number of different clips instead of having to apply each separately and trying to match the effect up.

The visit from the Digital Greenhouse was also extremely beneficial as they gave us feedback on our video. One thing in particular we took away from this is that the pace of edit should speed up when the music also increases pace. They also showed us how to correct the lighting in our clips and create an adjustment layer of this lighting so it is coherent throughout the entire video.
