I have used this software to edit my footage, using a wide range of tools that are available on the programme. Premiere Pro has been very useful when it came down to my editing process, as it allowed me to use different layers for different sections of my music video. For example, when I had to remove the green background from my green screen shots I had to use different layers as well as other tools including the 'eight.Garbage matte' tool, the ultra key effect and the shadow and soften tools. These are new tools I have learnt about during my A2 coursework, highlighting how I am constantly learning new skills and how to effectively work with the programme. I was also able to change my footage to black and white by selecting one of the video effects. Thanks to the type of tools I had access to from this editing software, it made my work process easier to manage, however as I am still improving my music video, there are still more tools and fucntions left to discover - especially to do with the lightning.
Adobe Photoshop
I am currently using Photoshop to edit the photos I am using for my magazine advert and digipak. As I am already familiar with this software from AS, I feel as though Photoshop is an effective programme to use as it includes a wide range of tools such as the magic wand tool to remove backgrounds and the clipping and cropping tools. I have recently been working with the eraser tool after changing my images to back and white to keep some of the image in colour. I believe this will make my the photos on my digipak/advert stand out more, and look more interesting than a simple black and white photo. Photoshop will also be useful when I do touch ups on my photos, before placing them into Indesign where I will create the structure and overall layout of my two ancillary tasks - my magazine advert and my digipak.
Adobe InDesign
This is another programme I am familiar with from AS, perhaps even more so than Photoshop as this is where I spent most of my time creating my music magazine for my coursework therefore I am familiar with many of the tools. I am currently using InDesign to create the template for my digipak as well as import photos I have previously edited from Photoshop. I am also using InDesign to create my magazine advert. In both of my ancillary tasks, I have found the texts tools very useful as I can choose an appropriate font as well as use the tracking tool to space the characters out so they look effective on the product. I will also be able to wrap the text around any images in this programme using the text wrap tool, and I am hoping to use this for the back cover of my digipak where the songs from the album will be listed.
I believe this post will continue to help me with all of my tasks by reminding me of the tools I will be able to use in order to improve my work. This post also highlights the ways I have already used these programmes at this stage of my coursework.
