What does a stuffy computer lab NOT need? More body heat!
Yesterday, Digital Arts Alliance (DAA) and 10 BPS teachers joined our program. The teachers were given laptops and introduced to Premiere Elements. They are being taught by DAA how to build video projects into their curriculum.
We welcomed Nancy (pictured above) from DAA to our lab, who has guided us over the past 2 days through the production process. The students recorded their voice overs based on their polished narratives, and then imported their assets into Premiere. The crews have been doing a great job of managing their files correctly and following the production process. Time management has been critical and Nancy has intervened often to keep us all on track.
By lunch time on Tuesday, each crew has been able to check off the first 6 steps :- write the narrative
- create a storyboard
- record the voice over
- edit the voiceover in the timeline
- import stills into the folder in your project panel
- create subclips of camera A, B, C and extra footage
After a hearty lunch from Finale (I love pickles!), each crew will spend the rest of the afternoon dragging subclips and stills into their timeline in sync with their narrative.
