FMP Presentation process

1. My FMP presentation

2. The presentation
• I decided to make my presentation using Adobe Premiere Pro. I would
do this by laying out my images in a Premiere project and then
proceed to record a voiceover where I would briefly talk about the
process and meaning of my work.
• The presentation had to last 5 minutes and I had 9 products. This was
a challenge to talk about each product in detail within the duration of
5 minutes so I kept everything as brief as possible.
• For the voiceover, I made a script and then recorded it in the studio
using a voice recorder. I set out my script so I could read it one line at
a time so that it was easier for me to read, however this made the
editing process slightly less efficient.

3. Process
• After I had the voiceover recorded, I transferred it over to my Mac and dropped it into Premiere. I laid out the audio first and made cuts
after I had finished talking about each product.
• I laid the image of the product I was talking about into the Premiere project and stretched it out so that its duration fitted the specific
section of the audio.
• My first job after that was to cut out any mistakes, stutters or mishaps I had when I was recording. This was a tedious process but it was
highly necessary.
• When I had the audio and images laid out, I could begin adding in transitions, effects and other sound such as background music.
• I stuck to using Premiere’s default transitions, specifically “Film Dissolve” and “Cross Dissolve” as these looked the most professional.
However when these transitions became to densely used in one section of the presentation, I decided to branch out and try using “Dip to
white”.
• The effects I added were effects such as “Gaussian Blur” and animated circles to show what I was talking about. I used the blur to blur out
the background when I was talking about a certain part of my cover. For example, I would begin talking about the title of the game so I
blurred the background whilst zooming in on the title to have all focus on that specific part of the product. This made the presentation
more exciting. To reduce the amount of usage of zooms/scaling, I also used a green screen circle effect and an animated outline effect. The
green screen effect was achieved by downloading a clip from YouTube and then using the “Ultra Key” effect to get rid of the green screen. I
achieved the animated outline by using a mask whilst using keyframes on the opacity effect. I didn’t use many sound effects apart from a
punch sound effect. This sounds strange but when I made an image appear on the screen, I put the sound effect behind this so it attracted
any lost focus and made the image more obvious. I also like the way the sound effect works. As for background music, I chose some royalty
free “chill rap beats” to put behind my voice. I made the volume of my voice around -12 dB (as this is standard) and made the music around
-36 dB so that it was just noticeable but at the same time wouldn’t drown out my voice.
• This is a very brief description of my whole process, but as it took me over 8 hours to complete a 5 minute presentation, I have decided to
keep this short and simple.

5. Results
• My presentation was designed so that I can share my products with
my peers.
• I want to be able to share my work elsewhere so that people other
than my peers can see my work. I want to do this because I think it is
important to get myself out there if I want any chance of gaining
respect for my work. I may also receive some helpful feedback from
professional designers.
• I have made an Instagram page called @hgt.edits so that I can share
my products (and any other Photoshop work) to the public.
• I have also emailed a bunch of professional graphic designers in and
around York asking for feedback on my work.
• Finally, I uploaded my presentation to YouTube.
