Assignment 6: War with Adobe part 1

Due to the fact that I do not need to digitize my videos, I could import the m2ts raw video files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 at the CATI lab in CNM.

The first round of editing was tough because I did not have a clear idea of what kind of shots I would want and what kind of effects to add later. I pieced the clips in the order I wanted and cut out various NG shots. I applied the reverse timing effect to the clips that needed it and realise a huge problem that I have.

In some of the reverse video clips, because we weren't aware of it, my brother was actually walking backwards. And there were also continuity errors, like in the scene where clothes were thrown at my brother, the blanket was supposed to be messed up, but it was folded. Small details like this was missed and I only realise it when I watched it on my computer.

I did not have a choice but to reshoot parts of the video. I called my brother, and he was totally not happy about it.

But when it comes to video, I do want things to be close to perfection.

Reshoot scheduled for next week.
