Adobe Premiere

Our task now was to compile our clips into the final animation.
for this, we chose to use Adobe Premiere, a program which none of us were too familiar with.
I decided to take the reigns on editing, as the others were still rendering their scenes.
I opened up a new project in Premiere, and named it accordingly, Visit Essex Project.
Once inside Premiere, I noticed that alot of the features were very similar to other video editing software I had previously used.
I exported the clips we had so far into our project file and started to organise them along the timeline.
Once everyones clips had been rendered, I imported all of the clips into the project file. Now I could arrange all the clips in the order I wanted along the timeline.
As a group, we felt it would be good idea to start mellow with the animation, starting with the coastal scenes, then working out way into our more detailed scenes as the animation progressed. We hoped to add a soundtrack to this thast would match the video output, slow paced throughout, but picking up around the more detailed scenes.
Once I had arranged the order of the clips, I added video transitions between each clip.
I chooped and changed between different transitions, as I felt the video would get rather repetative if the same transition was used time and time again.
As our car scene had been rendered from two different views, we decided as a group to chop these two clips together, swapping between the two views but along the same time frame, thus giving the illusion of two cameras active at the same time.
Once the video sequences had been completed, we felt it would be a good idea to add titles to each scene, just to remind the viewer what they're looking at.
I opened up the title editor, and created a small title for each scene for just the name of the location. Each title would then be added on top of each clip, in the second video layer.
I then added transitions to these titles, so that they faded in and out along the time of the clip.
At this stage, the video part had been completed, and it was at the point where sound could be added to the animation.
I started by collecting different sound effects from the Internet to go with out animation.
I collected a number of different sounds, including Spitfire sounds and Beach sounds.
I then started to add these to the clips.
However, after reviewing them, we as a group werent happy with the sounds, and decided to opt for a soundtrack for the entire animation.
This would also replicate the videos which gave us our initial inspiration for this animation idea.
We decided to opt for a mellow dance soundtrack called Poppiholla by Chicane.
The song is uplifting, and calming, and fits our animation perfectly.
At this stage, I left the project in the hands of Glenn and Jack, as I was unavailable for the final day of editing.
They added the soundtrack to the scene, and cut it shorter to alow the song to finish when our animation did.
