Adobe Premier Pro CS4
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, was the first piece of editing software I came across when I first started Media, Most of my group and I had never come across it before, and the very first time we used this programme was when we created our short film for our preliminary task.
We required help when using this programme from both our teachers and media technicians, some of us who were really finding it hard to adjust to using this programme used tutorials from the internet which helped me in particular when I was trying add music & sound to our project, cut unwanted parts of our filming, and really move out footage around with the freedom of a professional.
This programme assisted us in creating our opening sequence. we imported recorded footage into Premiere Pro and cut it so that it fits perfectly with our soundtrack and titles. This stage of our production is vital if we wished to create the desired effect an really reach out to our audience.
This programme made our opening sequence look extremely professional and also gave us some extra knowledge on how to edit videos. This is good as many other production companies or title editors use Premiere Pro, so if we are able to master these skills then it would help us in later life if we decided to go into a media profession.
Adobe After Effects CS4
After Effects CS4, was another programme we used and belonged to the Adobe family, This made it much more easier to use for the first time than Abdoe Premiere Pro CS4 was when we first used it.
I thought that Premiere Pro was a lot more easier to use than After Effects, this is because After Effects is a lot more complicated with the locations of the effects and the layout of the entire programme is quite confusing. I spent most of my time on After effects, as this is what I was involved in when doing my bit for my group. I managed to master the use of this programme to create our opening sequence titles. Using various effects to try and make our opening sequence look as professional as possible.
Cameras
In the beginning when we worked on our preliminary task we used Sony Handy Cam, all of our footage was recorded onto a tape and we had to 'capture' this footage via Premiere Pro. The quality on these camera's were not very good and because they worked with a tape, it meant that if a tape was lost or someone had left it at home, it could cause major problems.
These cameras were given to us for both of the projects we worked on, these were a little more convenient as they did not work on tape, and for us to receive our footage we could just 'capture' it straight from the camera itself. The sound on these cameras were a lot better, which meant we could record voice-overs, which is exactly what we did for our opening sequence when we used the split screen and the voice-over 'It wasnt always like this' was spoken.
Vimeo
Vimeo was the programme which we used to upload most of our videos, this is because Vimeo is more reliable than other video hosting sites such as Google and Youtube, as videos on these sites can be deleted at any time for being disruptive of offensive, Vimeo is more private which was perfect for all of our media projects.
