Editing- First draft of my social action media production.

Setting up my project
Before I could begin editing my first draft I had to set up a project in premiere, which is an editing software provided by the school. To do this I followed a step-by-step guide which allowed me to ensure that I had set up the project in the correct way. It is important to do this as you have to ensure that you click on the camera that you have used to record the footage, otherwise the project will not look right.
When setting up my project I ensured that I clicked on the 'AVCHD 1090p25 Anamorphic' section as this was the camera that we had used to film our project. Before doing this I had to find where I was going tobe saving my media project, which was in the Media drive, in our folder which was called 'Tayla, Laura, Conall and Keeley new'.

Importing footage
After doing this I then began to import the footage that we had filmed onto premiere project which I had just set up. I started by importing the first scene, which shows a teenage boy being bullied over the internet. I then imported scene two, which shows a boy being physically bullied because of his sexual orientation, and then finally imported scene three which shows a teenage girl being ‘subtly’ bullied by her friends. I imported all of this footage by using my shot logs and edit decision lists which I had completed during the pre-production stage. Both of these documents told me what shots I was going to be using, the section of the shot that i will be using and also what edit I was going to use to go from one shot to the next.

Placing footage on the timeline
After importing the footage I then went on to place the footage onto the timeline. To do this I looked at my edit decision list which told me the order in which I was going to be putting the shots into on the timeline, and also what shot goes with which scene. I began by putting all of the footage from the first scene onto the timeline, and ensured that it was in order so that my production would look continuous throughout. I then went on to place the other two scenes onto the timeline in the order that I had written in my edit decision list. To place the footage on the timeline you only have to drag and drop the footage, but you must ensure that it goes into the video section on the timeline, and also that when placing footage onto the timeline that you don't drop the footage over other pieces of footage. As I had used my edit decision list I didn't include in and out points, and therefore when placing the footage onto the timeline I used the cutting tool to cut the scene to then go into the next shot.
