Construction Post 2: Our Post-Production Kit

For post-production, we will use a software called Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the footage from our main shoot. We also used this software when editing our rough cut and producing our animatic. It is relatively easy to use and will allow us to add shots, music and titles to our sequence.

Format of Premiere Pro:

• The timeline at the bottom of the screen is where we will drag the footage and cut it down (if necessary). We will also add music, titles, sound effects and voiceovers here so that they can be in the sequence at the same time. 
• Included on the timeline is the soundscape, in which we will place our music, sound effects and voiceovers (both diegetic and non-diegetic sound).
• The top left hand corner shows where we will create our folders to distinguish between the good and bad footage. It also will help us to organise the shots according to when they will occur in the sequence. Our music and audio effects will be in separate folders.
• The screen above the folders allows us to preview each shot without having to watch them all to decide which one to use for our sequence. The larger screen on the right shows the progress of the project so far, so that we can check that our editing techniques and continuity principles are correct.
