My first time editing this beautiful project, I didn't get very far. I hadn't edited since November and had grown unfamiliar with Premiere Pro since then. Because of this, I was very slow when editing, but also very nervous. Since I was so nervous and rushed I just completely forgot to save the entire thing. Don't get me wrong, even though I didn't get much done, I did the entire base of my opening. As in editing all the clips together to make 2 minutes.
Here, I pretty much had no editing plan and was just sticking clips together recklessly.
The second time around, I had more of an idea of what I was doing and could also edit a lot faster. I not only edited the clips together but started working on motion. This meant I took into perspective if some clips were too shaky and needed to be stabilized and if some clips were too slow and should be sped up. I didn't know how to do any of this but by asking for help I found a couple students from my school's TV program that knew a whole lot more about editing.
I never found out what happened to this draft and why it didn't save either, but I don't have it anymore.
The third and last time, I edited all the way through. Before this, I finished all of my homework for every other class so that I could just focus on editing. Over two days, I spent 6 and 5 hours respectively editing my opening. And I couldn't be prouder of it. I've finished putting the clips together, color grading, adding music and foley, integrating the production company, and finding the perfect fonts for the credits and title. Only quickly, I mentioned foley, which I was supposed to make myself, but the grass sound I needed was not able to be made since it's been raining for the past few days and I can't use wet grass for any kind of crunch, so I stuck to royalty-free sound effects. However, I did record the pen click and rustling trees. Anyways, the editing this time was thorough and neat and even. Here are the time lapses for one of those days.
I edited the rest of it today, but this was only yesterday's editing.
