Through this semester I have gained the opportunity to really grow my skills with digital editing for audio, video, and images. I have previously taken a class that dealt specifically with video editing. From that class I mostly gained knowledge about how to create a simple story and using Final Cut Pro. From this digital media class I was able to gain more hands on knowledge of editing effects and creating a full project and not just a plot. I also received knowledge about how information is used and how editing really does help to spread information and the ways to do this effectively.
Before these classes I did not have much experience recording and editing sound. I have done sound design for theatre before but that was using pre recorded sounds and then placing them in the world of the play to help create the world. Sound and audio editing has really challenged my attention to detail. I had trouble for a time finding the best levels and cutting unnecessary noises from sound at first. But with time and practice I felt I was getting the hang of creating a story through audio. As I continue to delve into editing sound I also want to experiment more into adding effects to sound to create something new rather than just clearing up any noise that may distort it.
I was excited to get back into video editing with this class. This skillset is something I really want to continue to grow and improve and through this class I started to get a hang of using different techniques within the program. My favorite part of video editing in Premiere Pro was creating video effects and animations with keyframes. I hope as I polish these effects I want to create new animations within the videos.I think when it comes to creating videos I really want to work on matching extra sound effects and music with the video imagery to create a better project. Having things match up to help maintain the audience in the story. I also need to keep working on setting frame sizing and resolution for videos to help make the editing process easier and more efficient.
Overall I really enjoyed working on this skill set through class. I hope to use this for personal and professional projects like gifts for family, audition videos, and creating a digital portfolio. As I continue I want to grow my visual storytelling and script writing as well. I also think storyboarding my ideas along with a blueprint of what I want will help me tremendously with editing projects I can be more proud of.
