Adobe tutorials

The first thing I learned to do when I started working with Adobe Premier is how top cut shots to make them short, and to get the shot that I wanted to use. The scissor symbol that is displayed on the shot is what you need to press to cut the shot.

Here displayed in the picture is the scissor symbol that needs to be clicked if you are going to cut the shot. Here I cut this shot as the full shot had a blooper that I could not use in my actual video. As a result, I cut the blooper out of the shot and used shots were the actors didn't make any mistake.

I also learned how to add music and sound effects top my clip, which came in very useful in introducing the clip and also made it seem more interesting to view. To add the music you must first locate the music option on the bottom right hand option bar.

In the bottom right corner you can see clearly the music option, on which clicking it gives you multiple pieces of music which you can add to you clip. The music you add can go over the two actors speaking and you can also put the music over titles which you can use. The golden bar that is displayed by my clip is the actually musical piece I put into my clip.  You can control the duration of the music by extending the bar.

I also learned how to apply certain effects to the clip. I learned how to do this through trial and error and playing around with the technology. You can add numerous effects to the clip that change many things, such as lighting and even adding effects such as lightening. A lot of the effects that I experimented with were not very appropriate for what I was trying to do with my clip. For example, effects such as lighting and distortion of the actually scenes took away from what I was trying to actually do with the clip, which was to make it professional as possible .

I changed the lighting of the clip by going to the applied effects button on the top right margin of the screen. From there you can click the lighting options tab which comes up with numerous options of how to change the lighting.
