As someone with no clue what Premier Pro was, all the workshops helped me a lot.
On our first workshop, we learnt the basic tools of the software and how to use them. We learned basic editing and trimming to the dialogues and actions and cutting out the extra parts and sequencing them.
We did a workshop on a skateboarding video with electronic background music. This workshop helped me to slow down, speed up, jump cut, and add effects, such as zoom in and zoom out; and edit with respect to the given music. This gave a glimpse on how to time the video footage for the background music. We were just given 15 minutes and after the time is up we moved to someone else’s mac and continue editing theirs. This gave me an idea on other’s editing thoughts and made me realize how the same footage can be edited in different ways.
We also had another workshop on editing the scream from the movie Psycho. We again had 15 minutes to edit this. We also got to see what others have created, again giving me an idea of how one footage can be made in so many ways.
