Trying Out Editing

The cinematographer shared the footage from Thursday on Google Drive. On google drive, we can have better access to the files rather than just sending it through email. I was not sure what our editor had cut together to screen today so last night I went ahead and tried to do some editing on my own. I installed Adobe premiere rush because it seemed the easiest to use and I can access it with my school information. I looked at some of the tools like adding graphics, adjusting color, and enhancing audio but I was not sure how to properly use those features yet. I stuck to using the cut and delete tools, it was all I really needed. 

I started by watching all the footage twice, then picking out some some possible footage to be used. After making my list, I rewatched all the clips and narrowed it down a little more. Once I had what I needed, I transferred it all to Adobe and started cutting up the footage. 

I started with about 5 minutes and 35 seconds of footage which I cut down to 2 minutes and 3 seconds. I had to cut the shot number and take number to get the time so low, but we only have 5 minutes of screening time and I wanted to play this twice. 

The process of figuring out how to use the cut tool took a while to figure out, but once I got the hang of it, cutting the footage wasn't too bad. I would say it took around 40 minutes to do this start to finish.
