2. ADOBE PREMIERE PRO
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is a timeline-based video editing software application which
enables you to compress all your footage together and edit parts to create a finished
video. I will use this software throughout the project to produce a professional looking
music video. I will begin by downloading all my raw footage and placing parts into the
timeline and then cut each shot following my proposed ideas discussed on my shot list
and storyboard. Once I have cut my footage I can begin to focus on editing selected
scenes of my video and join it all together to complete a well established music video.
Programme features:
• Supports high resolution video editing (10,240 × 8,192)
• Available in both RGB andYUV.
• Audio sample-level editing
• Masking AndTracking
• LiveTextTemplates
• Available for Canon RAW and Sony SStP

3. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
Adobe Photoshop CS6 is a raster graphics editor which enables you to edit and
compose images in multiple layers and supports masks, alpha compositing and
several colour models including RGB, CMYK, Lab color space spot color and duotone.
Photoshop will play a key part in the production of my ancillary tasks including my
magazine advertisement and digipak. I will primarily use the software to edit photos
for my ancillary products as the programme offers a wide selection of different tools
to edit each photo with, giving a professional finish. From working with Photoshop
last year as part of my music magazine for my foundation portfolio I feel confident
using the programme and will not waste any time watching tutorials and configuring
the settings of the programme.
Below is a list of some of the tools the programme offers:
• Pen tool
• Cropping
• Magic wand
• Spot Healing BrushTool
• PatchTool

4. ADOBE INDESIGN
Adobe InDesign CS6 is a desktop publishing software application that can be used
to create works such as posters, flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers
and books.The programme is most popular among graphic designers and
production artists. I will use the programme to create my magazine
advertisement and digipak. After using this programme to create my music
magazine for my foundation portfolio I am already familiar with how the
programme works and the different tools the programme offers.
Below is a list of some of the tools the programme offers:
• Eyedropper tool
• Rectangle Frame
• Type tool/Type on a Path tool
• Page tool
• Anchor Point

5. AdobeAfter EffectsCS6 is a digital visual effects, motion graphics and compositing
application that is mostly used in the post-production process of filmmaking and
television production. I will use the programme after I have finished editing my
footage to enhance the colour of my video. Following my proposal, I plan to just have
a black and white music video but after re-considering my ideas I may include colour
as well. I will predominately include the colour blue as the colour follows connotations
of sadness and sorrow, feelings which are emphasised throughout my music video.
Overall, I believe adobe after effects will enhance the quality of my product,
making it a professional, high-quality music video.
