Premier Pro - RGB Colours

RGB Parade

Vectorscope

The RGB Parade scope shows waveforms representing the levels of red, green and blue channels in each shot. This scope is useful for looking at the distribution of the colour components in a clip. The level of each colour is measured using a scale of 1 - 100.

YC Waveform

Vectorscope shows the video's chrominance information. Saturation is measured from the centre of the chart outwards. The particular hue determines the direction (angle of the pattern).






The YC Waveform displays a graph showing the signal intensity in the video clip. The horizontal axis corresponds to the video image and the vertical intensity is the signal intensity in units called IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers).

Point Break Chase - Sounds FX Edit

(I exported my file on Premier Pro by going to File - Export - Media and changed the format to H.264 and the preset to Youtube HD 1080p 23.976)

For this project we were given a sequence from the film Point Break, and we were given the sounds effects that we had to put onto Premier so we could edit the sound with the film sequence. You can create a sequence by dragging the clip to the New Item  button at the bottom of the project panel.
I think that overall my sound clip went well because all of the sounds worked with the parts of the film so it looked realistic - for example the splash worked when the man ran through the paddling pool so it looked real. It could be improved by using better, more high quality sounds that I've found myself - this will improve it greatly. I am most pleased with the way I managed to combine more than one sound at once and how I adjusted the sounds, for example increasing the sound of the running as it got closer to the screen and vice versa whilst having the song playing in the background at an audible level (but not overpoweringly loud) and also having panting from the people chasing.

Napoleon Dynamite Sequence

The challenge of this project was to recreate a scene from 'Napoleon Dynamite' and to edit the cuts together with Adobe Premier Pro.

To start with we went through a storyboarding process, where we had boxes and were required to sketch out the different shots and comment on the angles and the directions of the characters as they moved across the shot. I think that the sketches went well because they were accurate and proportional, but I could've improved them by adding colour.

I enjoyed working in a small team because it gave us all the chance to take part, but we still had each other for help so if I needed help there was someone else for guidance. One of the problems of filming was following the rules, for example the 180 degree rule, because we had to think carefully about the positioning of each shot so the viewer wasn't disorientated. If we were shooting again I would make only one person the cameraman so there was no confusion as to who is shooting which scene.

I organised my clips in order from Clip 18 to Clip 1, and they are in order of the way they went together to create the short film so I can drop them in easily and efficiently. The bloopers were at the bottom to add at the end.
