In a group of 4 we were tasked to create a montage piece, today we chose the ‘Practice makes perfect’ with the ‘determination’ theme. For our montage we did decided to make the montage, about the production of a montage. Then we went out and filmed the shots according to our storyboard.

Above is the final product. I feel like my montage really doesn’t have that much of an impact, although it heavily tells a story. I feel like the opening cuts (00:04 – 00:07) create a feeling of determination, due to the fast movements and cutting. This also helps create a sense of progression, although I feel like I used too many video transitions throughout the montage. I feel like it would have benefited from much less video transitions as it feels too busy and I would add a lot more variation of shots. This task was good as it gave us experience in using Adobe Premier Pro and getting the basics of the program. Focusing forward, this has helped me in basic editing and how to add effects and cut together clips. I also found out how to add a startcard and an endcard. This will all be useful in creating my music video.
