CSC391/691 Digital Video and Animation
Fall 2006
Burg
Working on "Prufrock"
Student group ___Adam & Leah______ Section of poem ____Six (the end)________
1. Describe what you were trying to accomplish.
We were trying to take and edit some video we could use for the Hamlet section of the
poem.
2. Give a tutorial on how to do something related to the goal above. Screenshots and
photographs are helpful.
To split the video into a mirror image of itself in Premiere
1. Click on the effects option on the top of your window
2. A pop up menu should appear on the left hand side of your screen, listing a bunch of
different effects.
3. Select the mirror effect.
4. Drag the effect and release it on top of the section of film (in your timeline) you want
to mirror.
5. The mirror tool should now appear in the editing box next to your section of film
6. You can change the focal point of your mirror by setting the x and y coordinates of the
center pixel. You can also rotate the mirror 360 degrees around this point by clicking on
the circle in the editing menu and dragging it around.
3. List some useful things you learned – tips on shooting, capturing, and/or editing video
and sound. You might want to include hazards that other students should look out for,
and how to handle them.
-When taking video, it is a fantastic idea to use a tripod, unless you want your images to
be wiggling up and down a lot.
-Always take more video than you think you need. You can easily cut some off, but it’s a
lot harder to put more on. In addition, it’s good for each clip to have a little tail on it so
that it can nicely fade into the next clip without an abrupt stop.
-A lot of different effects tools can be found in the effects menu of Premiere. You can
look up the effect you want, and then drag it over the section of film you want to use it
on. Then you will be able to use that effect on that section of film.
-For bluescreening video, it’s actually better to use a bright green screen, and Premiere
has an effect for doing just that. Clothing is more likely to have blue in it, so using an
actually blue screen can mess up your video.
4. What are your ideas for the next step?
Take a whole bunch of video of the Hamlet section, using costumes borrowed from the
theatre department and maybe a willing actor or two. Then we can start playing around
with what kind of video effects we’d like to do.

  10. What are your ideas for the next step? Take a whole bunch of video of the Hamlet section, using costumes borrowed from the theatre department and maybe a willing actor or two. Then we can start playing around with what kind of video effects we’d like to do.
  1. What questions or problems must you solve to accomplish what you'd like to do? We need to plan out exactly what kind of shot we want for each line. Then once we get the video taken, we need to learn how to edit it and decide what transitions between shots to do. Also, it would be helpful to know how fast/slow our overall sound clip is going to be so we can take the video roughly based on that.
  2. What thoughts do you have about how to make your portion fit in with the rest of the poem? Does the way you are handling your section have an impact on how other groups should handle theirs? My main concern is that I would like to video someone as playing Prufrock, but how are we all going to have the same-looking Prufrock if we all use different actors? Maybe we can have some kind of distinguishing feature for all the different Prufrock actors. Or maybe Prufrock is an “everyman” so he can be symbolically represented by many people. Other than that, our “set” is a very different places from all of the other sections (we’re in a theatre or by the ocean) so we won’t be in conflict with the other groups.
  3. If you found some good sources of information, list them here – e.g., web links, books, sections in Premiere's Help, additional software, etc. In lab, we used the internet help search on Premiere to figure out how we could create a mirror image of our captured video. That was very helpful.
