Making the video!

The time had come to create my final video project the first thing I had to do was acquire some clips to edit and put together as my final production.


I found some clips I wanted to use on YouTube so the next thing to do was find a piece of software that could download and convert the clips.  

The software I decided to use was TubeTilla this is the software application of the conversion site Tube grip I decided to use this software because it is able to convert the files to mpeg4 which is a format accepted by Premier.


Once I had my clips I then used the import function to bring them in to premiere where they would be shown in the media bin.

After viewing the clips in the source window I then started to drag them down to the time line to begin editing.

I then began editing the clips in the timeline, I used the razor tool to cut them where I waned whilst constantly playing them through the sequence window to make sure I had what I wanted.

During the editing I wanted to set the scene changes to the beat of Katy Perry's track Firework. I decided on this track because I have heard it used many times as a backing track to sporting highlights and think it sits well.  

The piece of editing I was pleased with the most is when I managed to sit a clip of video where the cockpit view changes from car to car to the beat of the track and it looked very good.

During the clip I used just 2 types of transitions these were the chequered effect and the clock wipe. I used the clock wipe early on in my video to symbolise time because F1 is always against the clock weather its the racing or pitstops. I then used the chequered transition because I felt it represented the chequered flag that is used to end every formula one race.
