Editing Using Premiere Pro:
For our first editing project, we were given a variety of video clips as well as the soundtrack 'Oops Upside Your Head' by The Gap Band. We were tasked with editing these videos together with the soundtrack playing throughout, as demonstrated by our teacher and YouTube tutorials. We were challenged with matching the clips with the beat of the music and cutting down the clips to fit our personal preference. We also learnt how to add a title to our videos which I placed right at the beginning.
When carrying out these tasks, I easily grasped how to effectively match the beat to the actions of the people in the video clips. As there were an array of clips that showed people on hover boards flipping upside down, I was able to show this clips when the lyrics were 'upside your head' on several occasions. This worked well to show how the lyrics of the music coincided with the videos. However, when I added a title on to the beginning of the video, I played it back and the beat was now out of sync with the actions in the video. Having the title appear for a few seconds before the video began but when the music had started meant that the music was now a few seconds earlier than the video. To overcome this problem, instead of having the title appear before the video began, I placed it on top of the first clip and in the corner with the video still visible so that the video and music began at the same time and the title faded after a few seconds.
I think that the synchronization of the beat and the actions in the video clips was successful as they worked well together and had a continuous theme. To improve it, I would like to work on the transitions between each clip to make them flow into each other which I could do by learning how to use transitions on Premiere Pro.
