TASK


Exercise : Lalin Edit to 35 Seconds 

For this exercise, Mr. Martin introduced us to the Ripple Edit tool, which allows us to split clips without leaving gaps, and asked us to use it to shorten the Lalin video to exactly 35 seconds.

In my opinion, using the ripple tool is very useful and i didn't know it existed. However, it was hard to shorten the video to 35 seconds sharp. I had to decide which clips i want to cut, while still making sense of the whole video. When working on this, it suddenly became 40 seconds, then 36 seconds, then 34 seconds again. But at the end I managed to shorten it to 35 seconds.

Next, I imported all of the chat notifications and sounds and matched them accordingly. I also played with the opacity to make the chat notifications fade in the end.


Color Correction & Color Grading

In class, I followed Mr. Martin's instructions on how to set up Adobe Premiere before color correcting and color grading. I split the screen into two to see the difference between the before and after. Then, I adjusted the contrast, saturation, exposure, etc., to make it less bright and more balanced. After color correcting all of the clips and making sure they stayed consistent, I added an adjustment layer and started to color grade. The color I'm going for is a bluish tone to support the sadness vibe.

Everything Everywhere All At Once 

Shooting

We were divided into two teams and instructed to assign production roles and film scenes based on the provided storyboard and reference videos.

Audio Synchronize

I watched and followed the tutorial from the YouTube video Mr. Martin gave us to sync the audio. In the video, there are several ways to sync audio in Adobe Premiere. First, I tried using the 'Merge Clips' method, but it didn’t work, so I tried the second method, which was synchronizing the clip and audio together. This was much easier because all I had to do was select the clip and audio, right-click, and press 'Synchronize.' I did the same for all the other clips that had audio.

Trailer & Color Grading 



Fig 3.8 Trailer Editing Process

First, I imported all the clips we shot in class into Adobe Premiere. Then, I searched on YouTube for trailer sounds that I liked, aiming for something action-packed and intense. I also looked for a black background with smoke to add variety instead of just using a plain black screen. After finding a suitable sound and background video for my trailer, I began selecting which clips to include. I synced the clips to the beat and added black screens between some of them to create a flashing effect. For the text, I timed the first few words to the beat and added motion effects to phrases like 'presents' and 'this summer in cinemas.'  Finally, for each shot I combined the color grading (Brown-ish warm, Desaturated, Blue-ish cold, Green-ish cold, Orange Teal).  And with that, it was done!

REFLECTION

When introduced to the ripple tool, I didn't know it existed and all this time I've been doing it manually, so this tool will be very useful for me in the future. However, when shortening the video to 35 seconds SHARP, It was really difficult because I had to cut a lot of clips while still making the video make sense.
