LECTURES NOTES
Week 1: Introduction (25.08.2021)
In the first class, our lecturer, Mr Martin have briefed and prepared
power point slides for us to understand more on this module. From his
introduction, we knew that we need some extra equipment such as tripod
and earphones to complete assignments and tasks given. After briefing
session, Mr Martin assigned two exercises for us to familiar with
Premiere Pro. He lead us step by step on how to implement this
application. Also, we were given some times to do it during class. As
there were two exercises assigned, we did one together in class, and
another as homework. Other than this exercise, we need to watch a bunch
of Zach King videos, who is well-known as making magic tricks videos,
and also stop-motions shorts.
Tasks :
1. Exercises//Complete exercises 1&2 (Mints & Doritos), post it
on blog.
2. Project2//Watch Zach King videos, choose 3 and post it on blog.
3. Final Project//Watch stop-motion shorts, shortlist 3 of them, share
thoughts (style, art directions, character design etc.) and post it on
blog.
4. Order entry level tripod (with led ring light and remote).

EXERCISES
Week 1:
We were assigned two exercises in class, a set of clips from
advertisement (Mints and Doritos) were given and we need to combine them
together by using Premiere Pro. It was my first time using this
application and I afraid that I will not be able to follow up the
tutorial. However, Mr Martin guided us patiently so that we managed to
understand every setting of this application.
The first exercise was given in order and we just need to combine it
straightly. It was helpful for us to familiar with this
application.

Second exercise was not in correct order and we need to watch every
clips carefully so that we can rearrange it in correct order.

OUT points. This exercise required to switch the mode in Premier Pro
from "Assembly" to "Editing", using multiple video track and
transition. Editing mode will have two monitor, left is for source

Week 4:
REFLECTION
Before the class, I was afraid that this course is too hard for me as I did
not have any knowledge on video editing. The first class really helps me to
get through this module. Mr Martin taught us patiently and give us explanation
in details. I have learnt some basic function of Premiere Pro and did the
scene arrangement exercises in week 1.
Second class was about introduction of different shot sizes. I realise that shots can be classify by the way of framing. After shooting exercise, I am getting more familiar with them (but I did not know that my face could be round like that :D). The process of shooting myself is fun and I learnt how to add caption and background music in Premiere Pro. Through Lalin exercise, I learnt how to trim videos by adding in (i)& out (o) point and adding transition effects.
