Specsavers Feedback

We had some members of the Specsavers creative and digital team come in and give us feedback on what we had done so far with our music videos, and they spent some time teaching us skills that could help us. Lenny, who works with Adobe Premier Pro and is professionally trained in this software gave us feedback on our video and he helped us a lot. He was very positive about what we had done so far and he liked our idea and edit so far.

He taught us many things, here are an example of some of them that have been most useful to us in our editing.

  • ADJUSTMENT LAYERS- we learnt about how to use an adjustment layer to apply edits to colouring etc to a selection of clips not just working one at a time.
  • GRADIENT OPACITY- he also showed us how to use key frames to bring the filter that we had made onto our videos gradually so that there is a subtle change across the whole video developing the star into this perfected image.
  • CURVES- he also showed us how to use curves to edit our colouring to create a Instagram filter effect. We used this by adding more blue into the shadows of our shots.
  • NESTING- he also taught us about nesting and how we can use this to add in multiple adjustment layers to our work.

Overall his feedback and the skills that he taught us were invaluable to us as we continue to develop our video and add more complexity in the editing. Here are some YouTube videos about what Lenny explained to us that we have re watched for reference.
