Editing

This blog contains the editing process that was done in order to create the Component 3, Music Video. This blog was created by my teammate, Tisha.

For this project, I decided to edit using several different platforms all a part of the adobe subscription. To which I used application such as: 

• Adobe Premiere Pro – This platform is used mainly for the whole sequence of the music video, as it would be easier for me to add effects such as transitions and simple cuts without any complicated changes. 

• Adobe After Effects – This platform is used alongside premiere pro, where in some scenes needed effects that are more advanced. Which is why After Effect is the perfect platform for me to use as it allows me to create complex effects. 

• Adobe Fresco – This platform helps me to draw the animations layer by layer to create a smooth transition. It is very simple to use and it provides a variety of pen types that would match my music video theme. 

Creating an animation for this project was something new for me, so I decided to look through different youtube videos in order to teach me how to create the smooth animation as well as learning a little bit about Adobe Fresco user interface. I found this youtube video, where it gives an example step by step in creating the animation. I believe watching a video that explains and shows the step allows me to remember the method for the long term. The music video will be the youtube video that I found and learned from:

I chose to use Adobe applications because they allow me to keep all of my projects in one place using Adobe Creative Cloud. This makes it easier to switch between devices and platforms, as my files can be accessed and shared online. It also makes sending footage and finished work more efficient, without needing to transfer large files directly to my laptop or use extra storage as my laptop storage is at its capacity. 

The presentation below will consist of my first editing progress before any changes from revisions. 

Editing Progress - Before by Jyotisha

From the first editing, I use my progress in showing it to the target audience which can be found in the target audience section. To which I have received much feedback to which I decided to continue working on with the video until the end while applying some of the feedback from our audience to the video.

Reflection

Although Tisha completed this work, I learnt a lot about editing from it. Throughout our whole project, the group was very involved in the completion of the editing. There were lots of changes and input from all members. We all worked together to make our product the best we could. Tisha did a great job with keeping up with all of the changes.
