Planning: Macklemore- "Wings" Adobe Premiere Pro practice

In todays lesson, we were given various clips from the music video "Wings" by Macklemore as part of practice in using Adobe Priemere Pro, which is what I will use to edit my music video. We had to edit these together to create a new music video for this song.

Planning: Learning to use Adobe


Planning: Adele Green Screen Test




In today's lesson, we learnt how to use the green screen and got a younger student in to lip sync to Adele's song, "Rolling in the Deep." We then imported the footage into Adobe Premiere Pro and were asked to edit the footage together. We also learnt how to blend the green screen background into the original footage/background footage.

Planning: Using Adobe Premiere Pro

In today's lesson I learnt how to use the editing software, Adobe Premiere Pro, to which I had had no previous experience working with. After being taught the basics, I was asked as practise to edit some clips together in order to get used to the software. After using it for a while, I found it to be very easy and convenient to use and will be the chosen editing software for my music video. Below are some screenshots that I took showing my process of using Adobe Premiere Pro for the first time. 
















Once the software is opened, you are greeted with the welcome screen which gives you the option to start a new project, open a project or ask for help. 
















After clicking on "New Project" this window appears and gives me all the different video options and what i should name it. I named mine "Learning to Edit." 
















The next window shows the sequence settings and after clicking Ok it took me to my editing desktop, to which I am able to create and edit together different pieces of footage. 
















I then changed the settings from "Editing" to "Editing CS5.5" by clicking onto "Window" then "Workplace" and then clicked on my desired setting. 















I then imported the footage from the media browser, to do this I clicked onto file, then import.













After importing the wanted footage, I was able to edit it by marking in and out by using the I and O keys. 















After dragging the wanted footage onto the sequence, it asked me if i wanted to change the sequence settings, I pressed yes, therefore it will allow me do more when it does to editing. 















After editing some of the footage together, I went back and and altered the speed. To do this I highlighted the clip and clicked on clip, then speed/duration and then changed it to the desired speed. 
















Planning: Inspiration



I chose this video as part of my inspiration because I really liked the ideo of using home videos and amateur filming within my music video because it creates a comforting atmosphere and overall more relatable. However, I have chosen to mix amateur footage with footage that is used with a professional camera to create a more clean effect and will keep the audience more interested to the story to the music video.





These two Ben Howard songs I also chose to use as inspiration  because they both use the aspects of nature within them which for me create a relaxing feel to the music, which especially with the laid-back rhythm of my music video it will flow really well with the entire atmosphere that I want to create to match with the music.
