First Editing Workshop

Our first workshop on Editing on Premier Pro.

The folders are "Bins" because when there was actual film then were stored in bins together. 

The unedited footage is called "Rushes" and in America its called "dailies' as the turn over for the footage need to be done in a day or as quick as possible. 

The LOG Bin, is where all the footage that has been watch could be used should go. Once the film has been added to the log bin, you change the name to what it is. For example 'close up right hand'

Now when you want to use a clip, you double on the icon of the film. Then it will appear on the left screen. Where you can watch the film. Then you would find a part you would like stop at the moment, press I then that part is highlighted. You double click and hold on the film and drag it the the Editing bar on the right side and drop.

 Then you add more clips together to make the scene. If the clip has something you don't want in you either click C or the icon that like a razor. You would then click on the part you want the clip to end at then the two clip are separated.  Then press V or the arrow to continue. 

A tip i learn is to 'cut on action', it makes the scene constantly flow. E.g if in mid shot a person lifted a glass of water to their mouth you would cut as soon as it reaches there lips to a close up and then when their done drinking cut to mid or wide. 

+ - zoom in and out on how big the editing bars are and it's easier to get finer cuts.
