After the first time filming we needed to upload our footage to the Mac, where we could be editing the rest of our video. We used Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to edit our film, the software appeared a little bit confusing at first but within half an hour we managed to get to grips with it. By attatching our camera to the computer we were able to use a usb lead to upload our film to the descktop. After the footage was securely on the mac we were able to import it onto Aobe Premier Pro CS4. Now our visual part of the video was uploaded we needed to upload the audio. A similar process took place. By placing our song on the desktop we were then able to import it int Premier Pro. When our song was on Premier Pro we dragged it over onto the timline. As lucy and I had already planned where abouts certain parts of the footage would fit to the song, it made it easier for us to start editing straight away.
When it came to editing our footage we needed to familiarise ourself with the tools, as we had never used this software before. On the right hand bottom corner there were lots of tool options.
The tool that was prehaps most used during our editing was the razor tool. To make this tool succsessful we had to move the main line (red) to where abouts we wanted to cut from. If we didn't use the red line then the video would jump to certain places that we didn't want to goto. After we located the part of the footage we needed to cut we would right click and press cut. This would break this bit of film away from the existing bits of film, enabling us to move and play around with it. The shorter the shot, the more difficult the tool became to use.
