Workflow


 We used Adobe Premiere to edit the footage we collected from previous lessons of the college to make a college promo. It was difficult at first because we had to learn how to use Adobe Premiere and learn all the different skills and functions. In the past two weeks we collected recordings of different places round the college, for example: a music rehersal from the Higher National Diploma music students, canteen and higher education section. Me, Jasmine, Naydine and Bethany all recorded Vox Pops for the college promo and in this we was talked about what we liked about the college and why. Vox Pops- Is an opinion and thoughts by a person represented by informal comments. I have not currently finished editing fully as there is still a lot more to learn but is coming together good for the first time editing. As this promo is meant to promote the college it is important that it is exciting, with catchy music and pictures/ clips that are related. This is aimed for people who already attend the college and people who are wanting to start.
