Cup of Tea Project

To introduce myself to video and editing, we were asked to film someone making a cup of tea, using different angels and experiment with different techniques.

I decided to opt for my canon 650d paired with a 35mm lens to film most of it, although I swapped to a wide angel lens to do the inside the cupboard shot. I also used a steady tripod with a smooth head which was good for filming.

After I had filmed it, we had a workshop in Adobe Premier pro, which is an industry standard editing program. We were told how to import our footage and audio, how to organise it, how to set in and out points which allows you to cut certain parts of the video off which you do not need before adding it to a sequence, how to rename files, how to add tracks to the timeline, how to do basic edits, how to add text, and finally how to save and export the file correctly.
