Video Editing Practice Blog Reflection

Learning Process: 
  Learning Premiere Pro wasn't difficult at first until I was shown the vast amount of things your able to do which overwhelmed me. I had to rewatch and even research other videos for better understanding of certain tools. It took me a while to
understand but once I felt comfortable knowing all the tools I felt confident doing the clip.

45 Second Clip:

 Creating the clip wasn’t inherently difficult since there was plenty of footage to work with, but organizing it was the real challenge. I spent a lot of time cutting and arranging clips in the right order, which was a bit of a hassle. I also had to use audio and video effects on certain clips to ensure smooth transitions to the next scene. Other than that, making the clip was fairly easy.

Challenges: 

The main challenge was organizing and choosing which B-rolls to use and how to incorporate them into the clip to make it look neat. In the end, everything came out clean in my opinion, it was the best I could have done currently.

The Take Away:

I learned how to use all the tools in Premiere Pro properly and got to experience what it’s like to make and edit a video clip. I also learned about effects and how to use them to make the clip look cleaner. Throughout the process, I was able to deepen my understanding of what I learned from the videos, which made it easier for me to use Premiere. Now that I’m more familiar with the program, I’ll focus on improving in my next project. Furthermore, for my portfolio, I’ll build on what I already know and learn some more advanced editing techniques.
