Description

This 6 week course will support you to make the most of the range of applications Adobe Premiere Pro offers in the production of video. Sample footage will be provided for you throughout the course, but you can also bring along your own video files to work on. The course is quite technical so some computer experience is required. We use Macs on the course – the Premiere interface is the same across operating systems but some shortcuts and menu items are different.

Week 1- The basics

This week we’ll start with some of the basics, introducing you to editing and Premiere Pro through:

A short history of editing; from analogue to digital

Getting to know the layout of Premiere Pro

Working with ‘bins’ (folders) and creating edit Sequences

Making selects from the rushes and sound files by creating in and out points

Introducing clips to the timeline and making a simple edit with music

Understanding rendering for smooth, full quality playback

Week 2- Editing narrative sequences

This week we’ll get further stuck into editing by building narrative, focus on offline editing‚ better organisation of your projects and breaking down footage through:

Re-linking lost or moved footage

Video ingest – importing and organising clips

Organising and breaking down rushes using annotated markers and sub-clips

Week 3- Video settings, effects & titles

This week we will focus in on what makes up video from a technical standpoint. We will then look at how we can work with and alter these parameters for different uses in our films through:

Transcoding – converting the footage into an editable file and understanding codecs and meta data

Adjusting scale and positioning and using motion keyframes to create movement over time

Adding titles and animating them

Applying transitions and various stock video effects

Layering tracks and using opacity and different layer blending effects

Creating masks and using motion tracking

Working with green-screen footage, creating mattes, mask filters and working with multiple layers

Week 4- Audio & sound

This week we’ll consider the importance of sound design and music for narrative and atmosphere in film and experimental video through:

Learning how to enhance your film with sound and music

Introducing audio and music to the timeline, cutting and leveling

Laying down music and cutting the footage to fit

Building sound design around an existing edit with sync-sound and SFX

Common practice and different approaches for syncing external microphone audio and video

Mastering the audio and making sure that it is all levelled

Learning how to create subtitles for our films and different methods to export/embed them

Week 5- Colour

This week we’ll start looking at colour in our videos and what role that plays. We will look at the process of colour grading and changing the mood in our films through:

Using Lumetri Colour, the colour-correcting function within Premiere Pro CC

Matching the colour of different cameras to create a similar look

Creating different “colour grades” to create different atmospheres

Stylising our footage

Understand the colour limitations of video files and the importance of exposure when filming

Working with tracked masks to isolate certain areas within your image to colour correct

Week 6- Putting it all together

In our final week we will get the opportunity to experiment with all the skills we’ve learned to create an opening sequence for a tv series. This is also a great opportunity to revisit any topics from previous weeks.
