Video completion - check!

 I have finished creating my first video that I’ve have made using Adobe Premier Pro CS6.

To start with we were given a camera and tripod to go around Framwellgate School Durham's campus and film various different aspects using a range of different types of shots.

 This was my first experience using professional equipment and I found it surprisingly easy. I got the hang of how to use the camera and tripod very quickly and instantly felt comfortable with using it.

I took a range of shot types, from extreme close up to extreme long shot, and came up with creative ideas for each shot. I feel the filming went very well as we filmed many different places around the school and created different situations.
After this stage, I then went on to upload the shots to the computer and file through them deciding which ones would make it to the next round and which ones would be eliminated. In retrospect, I think I should have taken more shots when out filming, as there were not many to choose from if one was faulty. If I did take more I would have been able to choose shots that were better quality, and improve the whole video overall.
Next, I set up my videos in Adobe Premier Pro and begun editing. This was the first time I have ever used this type of program. This project was full of firsts. I swiftly became comfortable with using the software which was surprising, because at first glance, the screen looked completely confusing.

 I certainly feel more confident using Premier Pro and I am excited to use it in future projects and develop my skills in filming and editing.

Here is the final product, I hope you enjoy!
