Editing Workshop

Fergus gave us some clips and audio and told to put it together to a sequence. The footage we were given was about Ugandan coffee farmers.

I've been using premiere for 2 years, but mostly to edit interviews, not short films where you have to tell a story. This was therefore a fun challenge where we didn't have any paper edit to work off so we had to place the clips and audio together where we felt it made sense.

I changed my mind about how i wanted to make the sequence half way through the workshop, so the film ended up being quite short. Though I'm quite happy with the edit taken the amount of time we were given.

The practice was both fun and helpful. I learned a couple of shortcuts and how to better organize the clips I'm working on. I also learned to use Luma Key on title which you can see the result at 00:19. The workshop has also made me start to think about how i want to film and edit the trailer for "The meeting"-project later on.
