Video Editing with Premiere Pro: Tell Engaging Stories

“You have reached the end of the course, thank you very much for joining me. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. You are ready to make a commercial video with a story that conveys a clear and compelling message either with your own material or stock files. Before I say goodbye, I want to show you an example of how I'd like to see your course project: The story and the script First, think of a story that you want to film or use material that you have recorded for an advertising spot. Take your script and analyze if the steps of the dramatic structure are adequately fulfilled. If possible, record the locution of your story. Start the project When you enter Premiere, organize all the materials with which you are going to work. I recommend that you create a base folder system, in which each folder within it contains similar files: Leave everything related to audio and sound in the "Audio" folder; in "Graphic Resources" all the graphic elements you want to use; in “Video Material” all downloaded camera or video material; in “Project” you will save the Premiere Pro project; and finally in "Output" you will save the final exported videos.

The first and second cut Then assemble the first and second cuts of the video, and apply transitions that give the video rhythm. Try to analyze well where you will put the transitions, so that it is a contribution to the narrative value of your montage, and not just a randomly placed resource. For the second cut, you can also choose a music with a very strong rhythm, to make the cuts between videos on the beats to achieve a modern and dynamic audiovisual rhythm. The details Apply the colorization of the image, as well as visual effects and a sound design that enhance the atmosphere of the story. Remember to analyze what feeling you want to provoke with your montage, so that both your choice of color, effects and audio narratively help the viewer or your audience feel those emotions that you want to convey. Export! Finally, export your video, remember to make different versions according to quality and weight, for the different types of publication that you require. Share your project by clicking "Create your project". In addition to photographs of each stage of the process. Also share a short text in which you talk about your experience in making it. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you've accomplished. I will give you feedback as soon as possible. However, I ask you to be patient, as it may take a while for me to reply to you. See you!”
