After working in Premiere long enough to understand it and know how to use it effectively, I enjoy its features. From the start of working with video I knew that Premiere would probably be the best video editing software I ever work with, so I quickly tried to figure out how to best use it. As we got more assignments to do in Premiere my understanding of it grew, and I began to look for software I could use at home for free for video editing. Premiere inspired me to record hours of footage at home so that I could edit it and maybe turn it into something interesting. The only problem is that I don’t have Premiere at home, but I’ll likely find some other video editing software. As for the time I used Premiere at school it has been great, I learned many things about the skills it takes to create a good film such as how to make motion flow and what camera angles work best. Working with Premiere has been interesting, but not as fun as some of the other software we have worked with. The only reason for it not being as fun is because the amount time it takes to create a finished product is unpredictable and it always left me with a sense of unaccomplishment. Given the tools of Premiere I felt like I could have done much more than what was required for the assignments we were given, but for time’s sake I didn’t. That is why I am currently looking for a free video editing software at home, because video editing may become a hobby if I can work with it long enough to feel accomplished. Now that it is the fourth quarter I’m pretty sure we will be moving on to 3D modeling, which will hopefully be fun and similar to the work I did in eighth grade. At least I have some skills I will be coming in with for 3D modeling, unlike the other things we have worked with, but I most likely have forgotten my skills by now. After doing some additional research I found a few free video editing softwares I could use at home to expand my knowledge on the use of video editing. Most of the free video editing softwares are free versions advertising their professional full versions, but still function fully as video editing software. I was planning on using Movie Maker because that’s what some of my friends and brothers had used in the past for video editing, but it was discontinued over a year ago. I might end up using Shotcut, but I haven’t looked into every single option I have yet, hopefully I find a reliable software that can get the job done soon.

In my group for the video project I was the person in charge of making the graphics, but I also helped out to complete the other roles because we had a smaller group. For the first two days we were planning and researching on our topic, then I got to making logos for our PSA. It took me some time to think of unique logos, but we eventually agreed on a professional-looking logo to put in our video. My partner and I worked together to make the script, and he also made a storyboard to plan out the shots of our video. When we went outside for recording I made sure to get things done quickly and with a plan. My partner and I took multiple shots of each scene and attempted a few different camera angles as well. Because Premiere can only be used on one computer to effectively edit a group’s film, my partner worked with the video on his computer, and I gave suggestions. We worked together to choose which clips we thought were the best and how to edit them. In the end we both filled each other’s roles somewhat, but we also made sure to do the core things of our role before filling another. This helped to make the project go efficiently, even without a third member of our group. Of course though, our work did end up being rushed because our videos will be presented tomorrow and we had just gotten to editing today. Overall I think my partner and I equally contributed towards our final product, checking each other’s work along the way to make sure we weren’t doing anything completely wrong.
