This was certainly the most complex thing I've made in premiere pro so far. Even though I've had the most fun making it. The constraints were to make a 20 second video of a man leaving his house; implementing the 180* rule where the scene cuts to a shot of the same target but the opposite side of the target. Basically, It's used as a way to make clean cuts look good in film. I had to edit this video using a selection of audio and video clips that I would have to cut and place correctly for optimal pacing and audio that matches up with video. Now, one would ask: "Well, if you have all the audio and video clips, couldn't you just place them together and match them up correctly?" Well, it's not that simple. In order to cut from shot to shot in a single scene, sometimes multiple clips must be recorded for reasons such as limited equipment, and unwanted cameras in a shot. In fact, sometimes actors have to act through one scene multiple times because 1: Editor's convenience, and 2: Audio. This is where L-Cutting comes in. An example of L-Cutting in this case is cutting and arranging multiple clips for a single scene to match with the scene's audio. This is to prevent hearable cutting in the audio of the scene which is unwanted when it comes to audio editing, unlike video editing. I used L-Cutting for the longest scene in my video that required multiple shots, giving me a clean and movie-like result with the video perfectly matching up with the audio. In professional film, microphones are usually separate from the cameras meaning that movie editors have to correctly match up one (sometimes more) audio clip(s) with multiple video clips for a complete scene with cuts. Like everything I've done so far in PR, I loved working with video and audio clips. I did have one problem making this video though. Trying to get it to a 20 second runtime from 27 seconds. So I used the power of a jump shot at the last clip Of him going back in his house to get it to exactly 20 seconds. Jump shots are when a part of a scene is completely cut out and filled in with what was right to it as a way to save time or put emphasis on time passing by.

This project in illustrator was very similar to the previous one, but where I would have to organize video clips into a video instead of multiple images. I also added transparency to my title for a more professional look. Because of the slow pacing of the video, I chose to add crossfades to each of my video clips to help with the slow pacing. The use of video clips rather than images here was no problem for me as there was no action for me to focus on in each of my video clips. Just like last time, there was nothing much difficult when making this video, As everything was quick, easy, and fun to do. Although this project was very similar to my last one, there was one extra thing that I decided to work on. sound effects. So I imported multiple sound effects relevant to each of my video clips then cut them up to fit with each one. I made each ambient sound a little bit quieter so that they would be more in the background, then transformed my audio clips into J-Cuts and gave them exponential fades so that they would blend in better with each other. J cuts are when an audio clip that is supposed to be with a video clip starts before its respective video clip does. This is usually to add suspense in things like action scenes in movies, though I thought it sounded nice here.
As my first assignment in premiere pro, this was surprisingly easy to make. All I had to do was organize a bunch of images into a video clip of 15 seconds with audio playing. I started with gathering my images relevant to the theme of blue on a royalty free image website by downloading them and putting them into my project panel. My project panel is where I can locate and store files to use for my project just by dragging them onto my media player, which is what I did. Making some of the images stay longer on the audio clip than others to keep my finished project from feeling flat. Since my video had to be 15 seconds, I cut a part of my final clip off to fit that constraint. To complete this project, I had to add a title appearing at the start of the video. So I used my type tool to create a new clip of text that read "Blue" to last for the first few images. I layered It on top of my main layer with my blue themed clips so that it would appear. Finished with this, I still felt as though my video was incomplete. To fix this problem, I Polished things up by adding exponential fade effects to my clips so that the video would start and end more smoothly, then added a royalty free audio clip that would cut at the 15 second mark. What I found the most easy was organizing my files to be transferred to the media player. To finish, I find that there was nothing difficult about starting on premiere pro as it is very well designed, easy to work with, and I'm excited to use it more.

AuthorHey there! My name is Ivan Kacvinsky. I am currently taking a Computer modeling and animation course. What I have learned how to do so far in this class is the use of 3DS max. a 3D modeling software that you can render, 3D model and animate in. All of the three things listed are things that I have been taught how to do and have done.
