Premier Pro editing workshop: 7th October 2016

This session included a full introduction to the Premier Pro editing software which is an editing program used by several professionals in the Television industry.

We were all given some unedited footage of a what would become an advert/ mini documentary about coffee and the workers in Uganda. We were also instructed on how to use keyboard shortcuts to make faster progression with the editing process. Although i found this useful, for the moment, I still find that I am more comfortable using the mouse.

During the editing process, we had to tell a story through both visual and audio. i struggled particularly on matching the pieces of vioce-over audio to create a story but thankfully worked out a reasonable order in the end. all that was left to do was match up visual to adio which I found slightly easier.

The order of which I used visually was:
-Opening titles
-Map of Uganda
-Picking of coffee beans
-Grinding of coffee beans
-Roasting the coffee beans
-Drinking the now made coffee
-Zoom out of map of Uganda
-Company logo at the end.

Doing this visually helped to tell the story of the working process of how the coffee is created from square one.

After this session I feel that, after some more practice with the editing and the keyboard shortcuts, I will be confident enough to use Premier Pro on a regular editing basis.
