Lower Third Title

This is an example of a lower third title. This title can be used to add textual information to an image or scene that is on the screen, without getting rid of the image. It is kind of like putting in a subtitle.

Default Still Title

This is an example of adefault still title inserted as an introduction to the video. You might use this for an introduction, a conclusion, or maybe in the middle of your video to present information in the for of text. I made this title a little long, but The basic purpose is still conveyed.

Template Title

This is an example of a Title Based On Template, which means that it is a template that Premiere Pro has already made available for your use, and all you have to do is enter your text. You might use this if you want a title that has a theme, or color scheme that will go with the contents of your video. They are more creative, and look less generic in, in my opinion.

Insert Edit

This is an example of an insert edit. An insert edit places a clip in a gap that you create between two pieces of footage that you have split up. To do this, you press control and drag the clip where you would like it to go in regards to your other clip. I decided to insert the 2nd clip where I did because I like the suspense that was created, when I just stopped her as she is about to make her jump, and the viewer gets to see more of her individuality and personality in the meantime. An insert allows you to put another clip in to your original one without recording over a portion. You are simply just makeing a gap or pause and filling it in. I think that I like inserting clips a little better just because I don't worry about cutting out a little piece of the movie that later will look like a mistake. If you are ok with losing a piece of footage because you record over it, then overlaying works, but if you pprefer to keep all of your footage and just add more, then you want to insert. I realize that I did not save this as aidescreen, and I promise to not make the same blunder on my next task. I finished this project with the help of Haley Barker.

Overlay Edit

This is an example of an overlay edit.  An overlay edit places a clip over another.   To do this, you drag the clip from the source panel directly on to the timeline.  I decided to overlay the 2^nd clip where I did because I felt that breaking it up directly in the middle provided somewhat of a before , middle, and after effect.  I realize that I have not saved this project as a widescreen and I plan to make sure this is done correctly next time. In fact Dr. A even showed me the reminders of how to save it in that format. I believe that I attempted to overlay a few clips on a Premiere Pro project  in a different class, but I did not have the tools, and ended up having to just get rid of the idea all together. It is nice to know that now, I won't have to do that.  When you use an overlay, it just plays over the footage that you drag and place it over. This keeps you from creating  a ripple, which later if you choose to get rid of an insert, you would have to delete. I finished this project with the help of Haley Barker.

What I Think About Project 2

Project 2 was a great deal of fun, and I feel confident about the quality of my final product. I know that Dr. A had mentioned to keeping all of these clips as one common theme, but I felt that this video would mean more if there were a variety of things mentioned about the school. I have learned how to choose videos, based upon character, and how they will effect their viewer. Sometimes editing can be a trial and error process, but I have learned to appreciate that fact. I have experienced the trial and error in this project, and in a way it lead me to be more creative, and learn more about Premiere Pro, filming, and editing. I want to learn about more effects or additions that I can add to my videos in order to personalize them, or make them more unique.

I did not have a partner for this project, but I did have a partner who along with myself was given the responsibility of filming, and dumping the video clips so that the class had something to work with. I think that working with Luis was a lot of fun, and he was definitely helpful. We kept each other entertained through the whole filming process, and were really good at bouncing ideas and suggestions off of each other. And as far as learning from this project goes, I learned best through trial and error, and I don't feel so confined in my use of technology. I am not afraid to think outside of the box or use more advanced technology as it comes to me.

Baler Interviews!

Hope you all enjoy this! Reflection to follow.

My Introduction

This is obviously not a video clip including myself. However, my video was not working, and I had to edit a video clip of my partner instead.
