Today we’ll start off by editing your 10-shot sequences.
- Create a new folder and put all the raw footage in there.
- Create a new project in Premiere and under Scratch Disks, change the settings so that every part of the project is saved in that same folder.
- If you’re using an external hard drive, you can place a copy of that folder on your drive when you’re finished to back it up, or you can edit from a folder on that drive to begin with.
- Export the video, upload it to your Vimeo account, and post it here on the class blog.
Reminder: Pitch for video #1, a visual poem, is due next class (Tuesday Feb. 11) when we will workshop all your ideas as a class. Post it here on the class blog. The pitch should include what you plan to shoot, how you’re going to get access (if relevant), and how you plan to structure and edit it. What can we expect the visuals to look like? What sounds and music can we expect to hear? Do you have the rights to the music? What is the visual poem trying to do, exactly? Do you want it to tell a story? Convey a feeling?
