Super 8 tutorial



Hello again guys, I'm here today with another tutorial, this is one of the longest ones I've done so far but its quite simple and useful if you ever want archive footage for a film or documentary. This edit has be very useful to me, I am currently producing a documentary and this edit is just perfect for creating "archive" footage and I never realised how simple it is. Hopefully it'll be useful to you one day.


  • Upload a video of your choice and drag it on to your timeline. 
  • The next thing you do is you click on your video and got to Effects> video effects> Gaussian blur and drag it on to your video on the timeline. 
  • Go to Effects control and increase the 'Blurriness', (I increased it to 2 but you can increase by however much you want)
  • Once that is done, go to Effects and type i 'noise' and it should pop up, drag it to your timeline on top of your video. 
  • Increase the noise on Effects control by whoever much you want
  • Go to 'Colour' and play around with the colour to whatever shade you want it, i made my footage look old fashioned and therefore focused on the yellow tones. 
  • Once you've decided on the colour you want, go back to your Media browser and ctrl + right click on the mouse and got to New item> adjustment layer> and change the Timebase to 24.000fps and the Pixel aspect ration to Squar pixels (1.0)

            



    It took me a couple of tries to achieve this and honestly it is so useful and just amazing for making old footage. This is my last tutorial I'm afraid, I'm moving on to my next piece of work which I will tell you about once I come back from the half term. Thank you for reading my blog, I hope it has helped you with your editing skills.

Plesentville tutorial



Hey guys, I'm back again with another tutorial on Adobe Premiere Pro. This is my favourite tutorial that I've done so far, its just super easy and quick to do. I like it because of the different things you could do and I am particularly fond with one colour footage/images.


  • Choose and upload a video on to your timeline 
  • Then click on the video and go to Effects> video effects> colour correction > leave colour and drag it on on to the video
  • Click on the video again and go to Effects control > colour to leave> and get the eyedropper tool and pick an area where you want the colour to stay
  • Once you have done that, got to Amount to decolour (which is above the eyedropper tool) and increase it to 100% (or whatever you want)
And that is how you apply one colour tone into your video. It's fun to play around and personally one of my favourite. This was a super quick tutorial ( i didn't realise that until I finished writing the bullet points) I hope this tutorial helped you, I'll be back soon with another tutorial. Thank you for reading.

Key framing tutorial


Hey guys, I'm back again with another tutorial, this time it is about key framing and for this example i am using a picture of my favourite band Tame impala. Key framing is marking the beginning and the end of a transition. There are lots of tutorials online about more advance key framing but in this tutorial I am just doing a simple picture moving side to side and you can achieve it in no time.


  • Upload a picture and drag it on to your timeline.
  • Click on the picture and got to Effects control> position and drag the image slowly to one side
  • each time you move it, add a key frame and that will be part of the sequence (I messed up at the beginning - I haven't done key framing in a long time) 
  • Once you've done as many as you want, hit the play button and see what happens to the image. 
I'm not a big fan of key framing but I know that it is important when editing, this type of editing is used for animations in the industry, over time you can get used to it and be able to do it with your eyes closed. I've still got a lo of practise to do so I will see you in my next tutorial, thank for reading

Green screening tutorial



Welcome back guys, I'm back again with another quick tutorial on Adobe Premiere pro. For years I've always thought that green screening was difficult and I've tried so many different techniques to doing so until I learned  simple technique which is probably the best technique I've ever used (credit to my amazing teacher for teaching me this) so here is a quick tutorial on how to add images on to your green screen (I'm sure you can do the same for videos as well but in this tutorial I used a picture)


  • Open up Adobe Premiere Pro, chose and upload a video onto your media browser.
  • Drag the video on to your timeline and space it out (make sure there is space in the middle for your image) 
  •  Upload an image on to your media browser and drag it on to your timeline in between you videos
  • After got to Effects> keying >ultra key and drag it on to one of your videos
  •  Go ahead on to Effects control and get that eyedropper icon and click on the green screen
  • After you have done that, you will see the image you have uploaded in the background, it will appear small but that can easily be adjusted
  • To adjust the image, go to Effects control > scale and play around with it until is fits the monitor. 
  • This next bit is optional but i prefer to do it. Click on the video and go to Effects control> spill suppression and you can either increase it or decrease it. This is to fix any access green screen spill, just basically makes it neater and cleaner. 
Thank you for reading, I really hope this tutorial worked for you as it did for me, I will be back shortly with another tutorial soon.

thanks for watching and reading this blog entry, i will be back again with another tutorial, they are simple and just super quick and easy to remember. 

Cloning tutorial





Hey guys, I'm back, finally after weeks of not uploading, I've been updating my essays and analysis of the Godfather, go check it out if you have the time. Recently I've been videoing tutorials for Adobe Premiere Pro (as this unit is an editing based unit) I never realised how easy it is to learn a simple did and therefore I want to help you guys in your editing. I have recorded 6 tutorials (I'm sorry there is no voice over, I tried it out but it just didn't work out) so I'm going lazy and sticking some bullet points with what you need to do. Cloning is super super simple and easy to learn.

  • first off you import your footage or image on to Adobe premiere pro
  • then you drag it down to the time line and separate them, drag it down again and separate
  • then on that same place, you go to Effects> keying >ultra key and drag it down to both videos. 
  • afterwards go to the eyedropper tool and go to the green screen background and press it.
  • the screen will then go black and then go to Effects control> positions and play around with it.
  • you will then see that the person in your video has doubled
