Continuity Piece: Final Edit

Here is the final edit of our continuity piece: 

We completed our final edit at the college, using their media facilities. We got to use Premiere Pro which I found to be a really enjoyable experience. I found the demonstration that we got from one of the college lecturers to be very useful and it gave us a good idea of how to use the software. The software was a lot more complicated to use than Serif Movie Plus, but after some time to get used to it, it was actually quite simplistic.

With the software, we were able to make the changes to our continuity piece to make it run much more smoothly, and make the conversation seem more natural. We also found that when we saved our final edit, we found that the quality was a lot better than it was when we had saved it in school, even when we had saved it as an MP4 file. We decided this was because Premiere Pro is a more professional and modern software. 

An extra change that we made during our final edit, was to cut the slow pan from right to left, at the very beginning of the piece. We did this as we felt that it was a little too slow, but when sped it up, it didn’t look natural. It was for this reason that we decided to cut it, as we felt that it ruined the flow of our piece.
