PROJECT 2
3.1 Project 1 2A (Lalin)
The next stage was an individual video processing exercise. We needed to download the video from Google Drive and then edit it using any suitable tools.

In the process, I was faced with the task of making the person in the frame "disappear." At first, I didn't quite understand how to implement this effect, and I tried different options, but without the desired result. To figure it out, I watched video tutorials and tutorials that explained in detail how to create a similar effect.processing

Thanks to this, I realized that to achieve the desired result, you can use the opacity effect and work with video layers. I used keyframes to gradually reduce the opacity of the object, creating a smooth fade. This became an important moment in my training, as I learned to apply more complex visual techniques.
In addition, I added a suitable sound effect that enhanced the impression of disappearing, and inserted small graphic elements for a better visual experience. Working on this exercise helped me not only master the new features of Adobe Premiere Pro, but also taught me how to find solutions through training and practice.
Colour Correction & Grading

I switched to the Color workspace and enabled Comparison View to match shots accurately. Using the Lumetri Color panel, I adjusted Basic Correction settings (white balance, exposure, contrast, etc.) for each clip to achieve consistent visual balance.
Then, I created a single Adjustment Layer on Video Track 3 and applied colour grading to set a unified cinematic tone for the entire video.

As the assistant director, I was responsible for organizing the production flow. I created the shooting schedule and printed the storyboard in advance to help the team stay on track during filming. These preparations ensured that everyone understood the sequence of scenes and the required setups before the shoot began.
At the beginning of the process, Mr. Martin introduced us to the technical equipment we would be using during the shoot. He demonstrated how to operate the camera, set up the lighting, and handle the microphone. He also explained the basic structure of a filming session and what to expect on the actual shooting day. This helped us understand our roles better and prepared us for working on set efficiently.

On the following week, we began filming. Thanks to the preparation and guidance from Mr. Martin, we felt more confident using the equipment and working as a team. Each scene was shot according to the schedule, and we tried to follow the storyboard closely to stay organized and efficient on set.

The filming process was not only productive but also fun and memorable. We worked well as a team, helping each other between takes and staying in a positive mood throughout the day. Of course, there were lots of funny moments behind the scenes — we couldn't finish the shoot without capturing some hilarious photos!

Mr. Martin told us that we didn’t have to follow the exact sequence of the scenes — we were free to edit the clips in our own way, like a movie trailer. Since it was my first time editing a trailer, and we only had seven video clips, I initially felt quite limited. I kept thinking about whether I could reuse certain shots or jump between scenes to build enough tension with the material we had.
I also spent a lot of time trying to figure out what kind of music would fit the mood of the trailer. To get inspiration, I started watching real trailer examples online and analyzed how they used pacing, sound, and scene transitions.

REFLECTIONS
Experience:
Working on this project was an opportunity for me to apply my editing and sound design skills in a new format - creating a video trailer. I liked to approach the clips not as a set of individual scenes, but as a material for building a visual rhythm and atmosphere. I experimented with scene order, tempo, frame repetition, and editing transitions to convey the mood and enhance emotions. It was a creative process that allowed us to understand the language of the video more deeply.
Observations:
I've noticed how important timing and rhythm are in creating an emotional impact. Even a small time shift can change the perception of a scene. Music, sound accents, and moments of silence work together with the video sequence and increase tension. I also realized how color correction affects perception: you can use it to set the tone — to make the frames darker, warmer or colder.
Findings:
– Editing is a form of visual storytelling where each decision affects the overall impression.
– Repetitions, dynamic transitions and alternating camera angles make the video more expressive.
– Sound is a key instrument: it sets the rhythm, accents and atmosphere.
– Color and light work not only aesthetically, but also emotionally, enhancing meaning.
