Post-Production: Digital Technology

Task One
I felt that with this task the editing was again pretty simple.
I developed my skills with editing programmes in which I was not very familiar with such as; Adobe Premier Pro 2.0 as we learnt how to add the video itself to the programme, by using the capture mode;
I also learnt other things much as how to import music files to the video itself and also how to delete the previous sound;
... and we then had to match our mouths to the music which required cutting, arranging and lengthening of the video that we recorded. I felt that this particular programme; Adobe Premier Pro 2.0 was extremely useful as it allowed us to add features, effects and music to a video recording in order to make it seem like a real music video.

I feel that our editing went pretty successfully, however we did come across a few problems afterwards, i made the mistake of saving our work into my own personal files rather than into the local disc (D) drive, and were then no longer able to access the file at all, which then stopped us from uploading the video onto Youtube as well as being unable to finish it. I have now learnt where i need to save these projects and i now know that if they aren't saved in the correct places the saved work can be lost.

Task Two
After filming the video and visuals, we then had to edit the footage in groups of two people. To do this we used Adobe Premier Pro 2.0 and i feel that i have improved my editing skills hugely as i found that editing the footage got quicker and also better. Whilst editing the footage we had to import the original music to Busted - Thats What I Go To School For and also mute our previous sound.

We also had to cut, and adjust different scenes in order to fit in with the original music and also video, to do this i either cut off irrelevant pieces of footage, or slowed down the time scale making it seem longer, i think i did this efficiently as i am extremely pleased with the outcome of the video, though i think that if i had more experience with the editing software it could have came out more professionally and smoothly. Again i think the editing software; Adobe Premier Pro 2.0 was particularly useful as this is the main thing that was used to create the video as a whole, and i think the cutting and time elapse tools were also very useful; as they allowed me to put everything into time with the music and also create different effects.
Here is the final video;
