We edited a documentary about smartphones using Adobe Premiere Pro. We imported photos and video clips, overlapped them with the interview footage by dragging them above the interview in the timeline. We added an opening title in big white letters on a black background. The timeline shows the interview, cutaways, and music we used, which we had to move around to fit without blanks. We cut out questions from the interview footage and downloaded and cut the song "Telephone" to fit. We also practiced adding graphics by typing text and dragging it above video clips.
2. We used a variety of cut-aways of mobile
phones. We had to import the pictures
so that they were in our we had to drag
them into the tool bar at the side so that
we knew where they were. To make them
over lap our interview we needed to

title to our documentary, we used big
bold letters and used white on top of a
black background so that it stood out.
However in our real documentary we
will need to have something much
more creative to help boost up our
marks.
3. Here is a shot of the person we interviewed, We wanted her to be young as young
people are more up to date with today's new technology. We have placed her in
the right position and we asked her to look away from the camera so she wasn't
making eye contact with the audience. Also we have to make it fit so we clicked
on the arrow underneath fit so that it was in the right position.
4. This is a print screen of our timeline, below you can see that is shows the interview footage, cut-
away’s and the music we have used. We has to move all of the footage around on the timeline to
ensure that we had it all in the right places and so there we no blanks in-between.
To do this we had to first upload the video to our computer, the we opened our new project in
Premier Pro. To get the most important parts of the footage, we used the brackets to show where
we wanted the first clip to start and were we wanted it to end. i.e. We cut out all of the questions
so we could only see the answers.
Also for the music bed we had to download the track we wanted to use, and import it into the
documentary. As a group we chose ‘Telephone’ by Lady Gaga and Beyonce, as it was appropriate
to the theme of mobile phones. We found that this was to long to fit the whole documentary so
we cut out the most relevant parts of the song again by using the brackets and placing them into
the timeline.
5. Here in this shot, you can see that we have practiced using Graphics.
To get the text up we had to use control and T and then it comes up in
the screen you type the text that you want to be seen, and then drag it
over and place it above the video clip, so that it can be seen, as well as
the moving footage. We thought that by having a large font, in the
colour white would make our wording standout more, especially on a
black background.
