EXS 225 P3 Samirah Rosario
Mine
First, set up the cameras and lights like Xander showed us. The professional camera should show both the narrator and the demonstrator, while the smaller camera should only show the demonstrator.
1. You need 4 people total for this project: yourself, a narrator, a demonstrator, and someone to operate the small camera. I acted as the director and controlled the professional camera by pressing record and stop.
2. Before filming, coordinate with the narrator and demonstrator about the exercise being performed. For our videos we used a lunge. The narrator read the movement instructions off the back of the clapper while the demonstrator performed the movement. When filming, both cameras should start and stop recording at the same time so you can capture two different angles of the same scene. We repeated this process 3 times, which gave us 6 total video clips.
3. After filming, put away all the cameras, lights, and equipment away so nothing gets damaged.
I imported the videos from the camera flash drive and then i had to look through and find out which ones are mine. I moved the clips from the flash drive to the desktop and renamed them. I opened Adobe and opened a new project making sure I wasnt on the tutorial mode.
I watched through the clips and decide which takes worked best for the project. Double click a clip to open it in the source window.
1. Drag the clips you want to use into the timeline. Put the professional camera clip first and the consumer camera clip second, leaving space between them for editing. Then click Workspace and then Editing.
2. Click the professional camera clip so it appears in the source window. Find the exact moment where the clapper closes. Use “drag audio only” to help locate the clap sound you can tell because it suddenly gets very loud. Zoom in using the circles at the ends of the scroll bar so you can place the marker more accurately. Add a marker at the clap.
3. Repeat the same process for the small camera clip.
4. Remove the audio from the consumer camera clip. Right click the audio, select Unlink, click the audio portion again, and press delete.
5. To synchronize the clips, move the professional camera clip to Video Track 2. Then place the consumer camera clip underneath it and line up the markers from both clips. A black line should appear when they are perfectly synced.
6. Trim the clips by moving the playhead to where you want the video to start. Use the razor tool to cut the clip, then switch back to the select tool. Move the playhead to where you want the clip to end and cut it again with the razor tool. Delete the extra footage you do not need.
Once everything is synced and trimmed, highlight both clips, right click them, and select Subsequence Videos so you do not lose your progress.
Make the videos go on screen at the same time
1. Double click the smallee camera clip. In the top left, open Effect Controls, then go to Motion. Change the scale to 50 and move the position so the clip shifts to the right side of the screen. Then go to Opacity and set it to 0.
2. Double click the professional camera clip. Open Effect Controls, go to Motion, and move the playhead to where you want the effect to begin. Set the scale to 50 and move the position so the clip shifts to the left side of the screen.
3. Move the playhead to the point where you want both clips to appear side by side.
Go to the beginning of the video where the screen is black. Select the text tool and create a text box across the screen. Type the project title and your name. Adjust the font size and color however you want. Set the title duration to 10 seconds.
1. Add text whenever the narrator speaks. Use the text tool to create a text box, type the words being said, and trim the text box so it matches the timing of the narration you can also change the color of the text too, mine is red.
2. At the end of the video, add a caption giving credit to everyone who helped with the project.
3. Apply transitions to the text by right clicking each text box and selecting a transition effect.
I exported the video and then uploaded it onto YouTube.
