2. Titles
To inform the audience, titles must be added
in our documentary on certain shots (mainly
interviews) like such. Names on an interview
is a typical key convention in documentaries.
To be able to include titles the following
stages are needed to be done on ‘Abobe
Premiere Pro’: Title, New Title, Default
Still,.
3. Colour
Adjustment
Using ‘Video Effects’ on the editing software allows us to adjust the brightness/contrast etc of different shots. Therefore if
we want our shot to include high key lighting we will then make the brightness higher. Due to the documentary being about
riots, we thought the dark, dismal weather fits in perfectly. Therefore the lighting in our shots will not include high key
lighting, as natural/low key lighting creates a sense of realism like documentaries are supposed to.
4. Colour
Adjustment
I have used the video effects to brighten up this shot slightly, as it was too dark.
5. Positioning
Using the ‘Potion’ tool,
allows me to move the
shot frame in any position.
In this shot the camera is
slightly slanted so I used
the ‘position’ tool to move
it so it looks straight.
The ‘scale’ tool allows you
to zoom in or out of the
shot depending on how
close or far away you
want the positioning to
be. In this shot, there is a
black rim around the
window. Using the ‘scale’
tool, I zoomed in slightly
to make the black rim
look less visible.
6. Importing
Importing music and footage is
easy when using Adobe
premier Pro. All the imported
files are usually in a box in the
top left side of the screen, we
are then able to drag and drop
the footage/music and edit it
the way we want to.
