Exercises
Week 1
Exercise 1: Smint
Then, we are given some simple exercises to do
which is combining video clips into a video by
using Adobe Premiere Pro. It helps us to familiar
with this software as we need to use it for future
assignments.
Exercise 2: Doritos
Besides, we asked for editing another video clips
(Doritos). For this video, the order of video
clips is messed up. Hence, we need to identify and
arrange the timeline of the entire video and
combine it.
Final Project Preparation
In week 1, we should watch short motion shorts
and shortlist 3 stop motions shorts in a slide and
provide reasons (style, art direction, character design...) This
task can inspirated us about the direction of our
final slow motion project.

Reflection
Experience
I find immense joy in learning this module because it aligns with my passion for shooting and editing videos. The journey has been thoroughly enjoyable for me. While I encountered challenges in video editing, I am grateful for the various avenues of support available. Mr. Martin, our lecturer, has consistently dedicated his time to assist us. Additionally, working through problems with friends and leveraging the wealth of information on the Internet has proven invaluable. I am truly thankful for all that I've learned, and I am content with the outcomes of this module. I believe my skills in problem-solving and design thinking have significantly improved.
Observations
Throughout this period, I have come to realize the significance of creativity in making our videos and outcomes truly captivating. Having a solid idea is just the beginning; the key lies in implementing these ideas using the various skills and techniques we've acquired in our video and sound production class. Moreover, I've observed that even when working with the same video footage, each individual's approach to editing yields unique outcomes. Simple alterations, such as color correction, effects, and sound applications, can drastically influence the viewer's experience, bringing forth distinct feelings and results.
Findings
From this module, I have come to realize that creating a video involves more than meets the eye. It's not just a matter of picking up a camera or phone and hitting record; there are several crucial steps preceding that. First and foremost, generating video ideas and seeking visual references online are essential. Then, creating a storyboard and planning the necessary items for the shoot become crucial tasks. During filming, considerations like lighting, sound, and camera angles demand our attention. Post-shooting, the editing phase becomes paramount—utilizing tools like color correction, adding sound effects, or incorporating background music. This process unveils a plethora of professional skills that can be honed to enhance the quality of our videos and captivate viewers.
