CONSTRUCTION: EDITING THE TIMELINE

 I have now started the process of editing the timeline. Using my skills of working alone last year, i was able to transfer my abilities in a similar way to create our music video. There is a procedure that i use when compiling clips and constructing a timeline:

1. The clips are imported from the folder, 'Media Footage'. From there you are able to see the clips from the archive in Premiere Pro and thus can be directly transferred to the timeline at a specific destination.
2. The clip is transferred onto the timeline, and in my case, when a dance move fitted very well with the beat of the song. The clip is finely scrubbed by zooming in the timeline so any movement of the clip is relative to the nearest 0.1 second.
3. Our choice in what visuals are used was largely determined by the music in which the audience can hear. For example, during a slower tempo segment of the song the clip shown would be slowed down and then reversed if the music was at fast paced part.

The editing process of slowing and speeding up a clip is relatively easy. It requires one to right click on the clip and select 'speed and duration' to which the percentage of speed can be typed in as well as if the clip is required to be reversed. 

The issue of speeding up and slowing clips down is that they change in length depending of what percentage is given. For example, a clip that has a speed of 50% (half the speed of the original clip) means that the clip will be 50% larger than the original. This had to be taken into account when working in-between two clips with limited space and often proved difficult.
