On to the editing!!
As I mentioned before that me and my partner had taken part in a project that required for editing on Adobe Premier, we had before hand experience. We made countless mistakes the first time around.Since it was our first experience with Adobe Premier we treated it more like Adobe Photoshop.
We picked up different shots from many locations but what we did was that we kept on renaming the file name to our own comfort-ability. Also we transferred the folder to other computers and USB but what happened was that when we transferred the folder we only transferred the Adobe Premier file in which we were working on. We did not transfer the shots or the sound files with it which resulted in the files being corrupt when we opened them in other sources. Adobe Premier would ask us the name of a specific file and we would not be able to locate it either because it would have been renamed or it would have been corrupt because it would be in other computers and we would not have transferred it with the Adobe Premier file.Many a times while rendering our project our entire system would get stuck and the software would just shut of thus we had to start the project over and over again many times.
So yes these were the mistakes that we had to face while doing our music video back in October but it was a heck of a learning experience.
When we started with our final A2 project we had Experience and Exposure. We had learned from our previous mistakes and we learned to use Adobe Premium properly as well. We learned to use tools such as the 'arrow selection tool', the 'razor tool' that we used to cut the video, 'track select tool' that we used to move multiple layers at the same time. This tool helped a lot in preventing us from overwriting with other layers.'Ripple effect' to delete the gap between two shots on one layer etc. 'Ripple edit tool' that we used to adjust a edit point and move other clips in order to compensate it. The 'Rolling edit tool' that helped us to adjust an edit point between two clips without effecting the rest of the clips on the different layers.
So we begin our project.
We first made a folder by the name of 'Aiza and Mahnoor'. We made this foleder in the Local Disk D .This was to be the mother folder and we added other folders to it. We added other folders and named the folders like 'Audio', 'Raw footage', 'Still images', 'Ancillary task' etc. After naming the folders we went through all of the shots that we had captured during our shooting. Since one scene consisted of different shots, we tried two three tries of every shots so in total if a scene consisted of 5 shots we had like approximately 20 trail shots out of which we would select the best shots. Thus we went through all of the shots and then compiled the best ones in one folder that would be located in the 'Raw Footage' folder. We had an approximately 6 scenes, thus we made 6 folders in the 'Raw Footage' folder. We named each folder according to the scene like Scene 1, scene 2 etc. in every scene we would add the selected files in the correct order and rename those files like, 'Scene 1 shot 1' or 'Scene 5 shot 4' etc. this system was very helpful as it was a very systematic way of going about our work. We were better able to locate files and do our work accordingly so we did not once have the problem of the files becoming corrupt since we did not rename the files afterward nor did we transfer our data from one place to another.
We added the audio files all together in the 'Audio' folder and renamed the files like, 'Moeez rickshaw scene dialogue' or 'Hamzas audio' etc. Since we had renamed these files these way we found it easier to use them later. Like wise we added still images to the still images folder. Things related to the ancillary task to its designated folder etc.
