This screenshot shows how we cut the audio track for our documentary so that we only had the part we wanted to use for the music bed. To do this we used the cutting tool which is highlighted in the tool bar on the left hand side of the window.
This screenshot shows how we changed the speed of a video clip. In this screenshot we were making the speed slower, so we changed the percentage from 100 to 50 so that it would play at half speed. To do this we right clicked on the clip we wanted to change in the timeline and then chose the "clip speed/duration" option.
This screenshot also shows how we changed the speed of a video clip. In this screenshot we are making our title sequence faster, so we changed the speed percentage from 100 to 150 so that it would play 50 times faster.
In this screenshot we were altering the size of a still image we collected as part of our archive footage. The clip was too big for the video screen size so we had to make it smaller in order for it to fit properly and allow the full image to be seen. To do this we clicked on the image in the timeline and then chose the "effect controls" tab in the monitor. We then dropped down the "motion" option and changed the scale from 100% to 87%. This meant that the picture now fit the screen properly.
This screenshot shows how we placed transitions between the video clips and images in order to avoid jump cuts and abrupt changes. We opened up the "effects" tab in the project window and then opened the "video transitions" folder. We felt that a lot of the transitions were tacky and inappropriate so we stuck to a basic dissolve transition called "cross dissolve" which we thought worked well.
This screenshot shows how we rendered the sequence so that it would play properly. We had some issues with archive video footage jumping and juddering and we found out it was because we had not rendered the footage so it was in a different format and that was why it was jumping all of the time. To render the sequence we just pressed the enter key.
This screenshot shows how we put the footage and audio in the correct order so we could see easily where we had gaps and where parts of footage didn't fit. Putting the footage in the right order also allowed us to see where things didn't fit or where we needed more cutaways. Having the audio in the right place helped us to see if the music bed was appropriate for the clips.
In this screenshot we are importing archive images into the project. To do this we just dragged the saved images from the folder on the computer into the project window on Premiere and then we could use the images and videos we had collected from elsewhere.
This screenshot shows how we cut the footage using the cutting tool. We did this so that we didn't have parts of the videos, such as the questions being asked during the interviews, in our documentary. We had to make sure we were very precise with the cutting tool so that we didn't cut out anything we wanted to use by accident.
This screenshot shows how we changed the audio levels so that they were all around the same. To do this we had to open the clip volume and then drag the volume up or down accordingly. We had to do this for quite a lot of clips as the volume on some of them was much louder than others.
This screenshot shows how we put our radio sequence in the right order. We used Adobe Premiere to do this rather than Adobe Audition as we are more familiar with Premiere after using it to edit our documentaries. We made a new sequence on the same project file as our documentary so that it was easier to see and edit and then cut the audio clips and music we wanted from the documentary and pasted it into the new sequence.
