Introduction

Once me and my partner Archie had filmed all our footage we uploaded our shots onto our computer and began playing around with our fottage on Adobe Premiere Pro.

Here is our first rough cut for our first musci video draft:

Once looking through all our footage there came to less then half that we thought were worthy to use, however in this rough cut does not follow a story at this point. These are random clips that we will potientially use (as well as adding more shots)  and we just played around with different effect tools so that we have early knowledge of special techniques for when we next get footage and can start creating our narritive storyline to the beat.

Self Assessment

What went well

• I am happy I learned how to put my footage into fast forward to demonstrate the time passing throughout this individuals journey on the office chair.
• I also decided to collect all the costume change footage so I could see how well the clips transitioned and how it woukld work as a montage.
• Me and Archie were very privaleged to have a special turtorial of how to make some spinny drawings around our model.
• I also managed to arrange all my footage on Premire Pro into different folders for example I seperated all the footage I knew I could potentially use and put it into a seperate folder to the rest of my footage so I wouldn’t have to spend ages scrolling through to find the right desired clips.
• Not only this but I also when through each clip and named them all which would allow me to find the footage I wanted even faster.
• I feel I have a good basic understanding of Premiere Pro now and am glad I used this time to experiment a bit.

What went wrong

• As me and my partner had run out of time to get the backgrouynd greenscreen footage we could not add any background footage in Premiere Pro.
• The transitions between each costume change is very bad and they do not line up well enoough.
• The reactions to the costumes are too over done.
• I believe that some of the footage in the fast forward video clip needs to be cut out as the actors mood changes to much from tired to happy and then back to feeling tired again.
• There is some on the speed up footage with the model talking to the director which I had not noticed before so that also needs to be cut out.
• There definately needs to be more costume changes and clips of the worker on her travels with out the actor changing moods so fast. We need clips that show each stage of her journey. There seems to be too much going on in each clip.

Focus Forward

• I need to make sure to get more individual clips of the office worker without so many mood changes and things going on.
• I also need to cut out some footage from the fast forward clip.
• I need to film more costume changes and get more clips of me holding each object given to me through each encounter.
• Lastly I must get some greenscreen background footage so that we can start combining it with the footage we already have on Premiere Pro.
