Assignment 3: Preliminary exercise editing

Preliminary exercise: reminder of brief

In your group, you need a choose a track from a selection of ten and then film a variety of specified shots (as well as your own ideas).

You will then edit them together into a 30-second video, learning how to use Premiere Pro, and apply certain edits and visual effects.

Note: you can choose your group (AQA maximum: four students per group) for this exercise and ideally will work in the same group for your actual Assignment 3 music video. You must edit individually.

You must include the following:

• A close-up
• A high/low angle shot
• A long shot
• A handheld camera shot
• A slow dissolve transition
• A super-speed OR super slow-motion shot
• A minimum of 10 shots
• Use of colour AND black and white

Editing golden rules

• You MUST copy ALL files (video/audio) into your folder on the Media Shared drive before you start editing.
• Render and save your work regularly.
• YouTube tutorials are available for almost every aspect of video editing on Premiere Pro

Note: If you don't have any footage to edit you must ensure that your coursework folder is up to date and at target grade level for assignments 1 and 2. If your teacher is happy that your folder is complete you can practice your editing skills by working on last year's Run Boy Run video footage. Find the video files on Media Shared:

Good luck!
