Editing Software and Process

To edit my film opening, I am using Adobe Premiere Pro. 

I have been using this software for years now to the extent of even passing the certification test for it. Because of this useful skill, and I have just completed the first draft of the film opening in a few hours. Zach and I plan to show the project to my Media Studies teacher, and if it needs any tweaks, I will make sure to change it. Here is the first draft:

The first draft of my project as seen in Premiere.

Even though I did it pretty fast, it took longer than usual for a 2 minute video. In fact, I would argue that I put much more effort into this video than I have with many of my other projects. The intro is heavily edited with moving text, smooth wipe transitions, sound effects for the transitions, zoom-ins and outs, masks, and other techniques that I may have forgotten about. A dynamic, fun intro is created as a result.

The story then begins to unfold...

The second to last blog post will showcase the complete film opening.
