We took a lesson from that project and applied the same idea to our film opening: we overshot. As a consequence, we have tons and tons of footage to go through. Here and there there are a couple of shots that we REALLY want to use, so first we have to go through all of our footage to find them before importing all clips into Premiere Pro. In Mac OS, you can right click on a file (video clip file) and "tag" something with a color, that way you know that that particular clip is one that you want to use. The different types of tags have a wide range of colors, as seen on the right on the bottom of the list.
Once we got into our editing software, Premiere Pro, and started putting together a couple of clips, we noticed that it was taking a long time to edit. I have edited in Premiere before but I just use basic cuts and nothing that is advanced. In my version of Premiere Pro their is a panel with tools on the left of the timeline. All of the tools are show on the right side. I knew that they were supposed to be used for something and that they could speed up editing.After editing a small portion of my film opening, I decided to delve into the software a little more and read about the tools. I came across a very good article [1] that explained all of the shortcuts and the tools themselves. Some of the tools such as the Pen and Razor tool allow you to refine your edit. All of the tools in Premiere have a keyboard shortcut, as shown at the bottom, which can save you time in the long run. I will definitely be taking this into account and hopefully speed up and refine my editing in the process!
