Editing evaluation

Our experience as a group with editing was a largely simple experience, Seb and myself have had previous experience with editing and so picked it up fairly quickly. Liam was new to the process so had to learn from scratch near enough.
Personally i encountered very few problems, some things that i did find difficult was a single clip in which the audio wasn't particularly good. So to resolve this we had to take the audio from the same scene that we had shot a number of times and attempt to dub it over the shot we wanted to use. This was very fiddly but ultimately came out ok. You would only really notice if you knew it had been done. So that was challenging but also a lot of fun. One of the responsibilities we shared as a group and found to be really tedious was renaming all the files to MOV which required us to take the original files, rename them and import them in to premier pro. While we were shooting we didnt take this into account and ended up with a tonne of files that were nothing but irritating.  Some other problems we encountered were the sounds levels in some of the shots compared to others. Audio continuity was difficult due to the quality of equipment we had and the different places we had to film. For example one scene was shot in a pub which is obviously going to be alot noisier than filming in a quiet warehouse. To combat this we tried to lower the residual noise while trying to keep the dialogue at an audible level. Unfortunately this didn't work perfectly so continuity suffered slightly but we feel as though it was still i good piece of work despite this.
Music selection was left up to me which was something i really enjoyed. Trying to find a song or piece of music that was applicable to the scene i was working with was challenging in a few respects but i think the music i chose fits well given the context. Due to the fact that the piece was fairly serious and adult given the genre trying to create a slightly juvenile atmosphere was something i found particularly tricky and in hind sight i seemed to completely abandon this idea and went for more sophisticated music eg Bob Dylan which i think wasn't a great idea as it added to the already mature mood of the piece. Putting the music in to the clips was a rather simple job it literally just involved grabbing the audio and dropping it on the audio track in premier pro then simply placing it in the correct timing to the scene.
Ultimately, for me, the editing process went smoothly with a few speed bumps. Obviously things that could have improved it would have been a more complete understanding of the program we were using, but given the experience and equipment we had i think everything went as well as it could. It took a little while for everyone to become fully efficient with the program we were using but with the others helping the less familiar members of the group we quickly were able to chop and change who was doing the editing without compromising the continuity or feel of the piece.

First and formostly we need to change the file type from .MOV to .MPG otherwise premier pro will not recognize and subsequently wont play .MOV file types.

Then we need to import the renamed files in to premier pro

                                         Then we have to put the files in order of sequence, this isn't vital but makes the job a lot easier. 

Once the files are in order we have to move them over to the timeline to be edited and put in a decipherable order.

Once you've completed your cuts and edits you need to close the gaps between the clips, simply by highlighting the gap and pressing back space.

For one of our clips we had to slow the speed down. To do this you right click your chosen clip and hit "speed" you are then shown this box (above) adjust accordingly. 

Once you are happy with you clip and all your edits are neat and tidy you will finally need to export the sequence to be view-able on third party players.
