How To Organize Your Clips In Primere Pro

Organizing your clips when making a video in Premiere Pro is extremely important. Bins can help you create a begging, a middle, and an end. Bins can also help you organize and separate your favorite clips, audio clips and more. 

The first thing you need to do is create a new bin to do this go down to the bottom right of the properties panel and click the new bin icon that looks like a folder. If you need to delete a bin drag it to the trash icon on the right.

Next you can change the name like I did above to name the certain types of clips going into each bin.  

To add clips to each bin simply click and drag the clip to the folder icon then drop it on top of it.

To organize bins further you can change the color to the left of the bin. To do this click Primere pro then preferences then label colors then chose a color swatch    (I chose purple).

I interviewed Ashley Augustene. She took me through her exciting and eventful lake trip to Table rock with her friends. The most eventful part of the trip was when her phone dropped on the sea dew. Luckily her phone was safe!

I learned that Ashley loves the lake and it meant a lot to her to relax there before she had to start school and marching band. My video was really fun to shoot with Ashley.

The voiceover was anew experience for me but i was surprised how easy it was. I encourage others to use it in there future videos because of the good quality and if you want to talk in the background.https://youtu.be/dung9YRD2Qw

Photo Shop Tutorials

During these tutorials I got extremely close to photoshop. I learned tens of new shortcut keys and tools. I learned that there is so many ways to improve and in hanse a photograph. 

Three key tools that I learned how to use were the spot healing brush, the lasso tool, and the rectangular marquee Tool. The spot healing brush was extremely helpful whenever there was a spot that was different then everything else around it, say a branch sticking out of someones head. In this case you option click the sky and simply brush away the branch. Another tool I used was the lasso tool. Simply pressing the short cut key of L now you can free handily select areas to move,copy or even delete them. The next tool the rectangular marquee tool allows us to select things as a simple shape, rectangle unlike the free hand lasso tool.

My favorite skill is selecting areas using the lasso tool say off a wall or mud on a child's face and removing them. It feels like your are cleaning the picture. This will be valuable in graphic design because if there is little spots of clothing or on a logo that you want to remove this is an easy way of doing it.

My strengths were listening and following intently to the tutorials  step by step. If I didn't understand a step I would back up the video. My weaknesses were definitely the time crunch because I felt I was rushing at the end. Another weakness was keeping track of which layer I'm working on I would frequently do a step to the wrong layer.

If I were to do this again I would have gone threw them all faster so that in the end I could either re do some or touch them up. I would keep my focus the same because I did a really good job working hard I wish I watched the video through first then did it if I had more time.

In all I learned a lot and loved doing all of the tutorials.

Before I used illustrator to alter this picture the backdrop was not all white.

The logo was originally set lower so I moved it up and fixed the line in the middle to be strait.

Before I used illustrator to alter this picture there was no logo on the surfboard.

In this picture the backdrop had little things on it that I removed to make it look cleaner.

In the original picture there was multiple tags in the pocket and on the side.

In the original photo this man had a big ugly logo on his shirt that I then removed and added wrinkles to make it look natural.

Before I used illustrator to fix picture the little boy had mud all over his face that I smoothed out.

Before I altered this picture there was a huge tower sticking out of the mans head.

Before,  there was nothing on the ocean background, I added the bottle added the logo and used tools to brighten and place the bottle behind the ocean. 

Originally this was a blank billboard I added the photo and made the edges round to fit the billboard.

This was the longest tutorial but turned out the best. This was originally separate photos that i turned into one. I also altered her shoulders, hair, hat, and color of everything. 

Re-Filling Your Water Bottle

The "scope" of the project was making a video showing something you could do at ONW to make it a better place. For this project my partner Leah and I decided to show how to re fill your water bottle so you do not waste plastic. 

Beginning

Middle

End

For our process we started our brainstorming ideas and putting them all down on our story boards. Some things we talked about were where we were going to start, the actress, 6 shots system and finally the 180 degree rule. I learned how to white balance and focus the new cameras. I also learned that Leah and I work very well as a group. 

If I were to do it again  would have allowed more time to film. I would do this is get more camera shots for a better video. I would keep my editing pretty much the same I liked how the final project came out. 

For my next projects i will take away my experience with the new camera and new editing software. I had fun making this video and remember to re-fill your water bottle.
