Meaning & Purpose
Before creating an edit decision list and progressing with the major section within post-production, it is important to load rushes onto the computer and watch through the individual clips, identifying the strongest footage and then logging this into a folder, in which can be transferred to Adobe Premiere Pro in order to create an offline edit. The metadata from the clips should be analysed which can give indications to the quality and look of each clip. Importing the clips from SD card to Mac OSX was a simple process, enabling rushes to be individually named and therefore easily identifiable when editing begins.
Below shows a screenshot of some of the logged rushes:
Developing an edit decision list (EDL) is an important tool used in production processes. The list enables the editor to order the clips within the editing timeline as it contains ordered content in which has details regarding every shot and what it should look like, thus giving the editor a clear guide as to what they should be producing in post-production.
In this section the the display, audio and capture formats are selected, this will be left to the presets as they are most appropriate for my production. After the production will be save into a specific folder, helping the editor easily gain access to this, in addition to saving all footage to this area, keeping it all together and organised.
Next, the HDV presets must be selected. In order to make correctly set up the production in Premiere Pro, it is important to select HDV 1080p24. This means the setup will be at 1080p resolution X 1920, giving the best quality results and the correct ratio due to the fact the footage is taken in HDV. Additionally the film will run at 24 frames per second
Below shows the initial timeline in which I created during post production. In order to stay organised, I selected the appropriate clips and placed them into the editing timeline in the correct order before adding any special effects. This was to ensure I had sufficient footage to complete the final production, in addition to helping me choose exactly what clips to use in each scene.
Setting up Premiere Pro
Below shows the steps involved in setting up the initial Premiere Pro file in order to start putting together and editing the film. Firstly, I opened Premiere Pro and selected 'New Project', this selection brings up a new screen, in which the location of the file is chosen to be saved, and the production is named.
