Editing workshop 1

 For the editing, we will be using  Adobe Premiere Pro editing software. Which is good for both those who just started with editing and for the professionals.  

The files that have not yet been edited are called rushes. They are called like that because at the end of the filming day the footage can be looked back by the director. In America, it is called "daily's" because it has been watched on the next day. The footage however is the same thing as rushes, however, this time it is the whole, unedited product. 

One of the most important things is do not to edit rushes. Because you might need them at any point of the editing process. In order to be able to make a new bin with the material that is needed to be edited you need to do some logging first. Logging is a procedure, where you need to divide all the shots on the good/successful and bad unsuccessful, the ones that you are not going to use. After you have done the logging you can put the materials that you are going to use for editing to the bin created beforehand. Now you also need to change the name of now not rushes to the names that you will be able to recognize, what is in that footage. Not silly ones. The best way to name them is something like "Wide shot of.." or "close up of..". 

In order to cut the part you want from the footage you need to click on the "I" bottom for "IN" and now you can choose what section from the part of the video where you pushed "I" and the part you want that part of the video finish you need to press "O" button for "OUT".

In any of the editing software, there are four different screen sections. Each of them is responsible for one of the processes. On the top left corner, there will be a place where you will be able to see pre-watch the scene that you are about to either edit or to move from "rushes" to a newly made bin. The bottom left corner is responsible for the files with your shots and with bins, and essentially with rushes as well. Moving to the right top corner, there you will be able to watch the part that you have already edited or the parts that you are about to edit and you are using the "I and O" technique in order to cut something. On the bottom right corner, there is a part of the timeline and the sound. So it ideally needs to be matching, and you also need to be sure that the videos are not on top of each other. That they at least are a little ahead or behind the other one. 

In order to get practice, me and my classmate Perdy have edited the short sequence.
