Short Silent Film

Reflection
I started my silent film in Adobe Premiere Pro by first transferring the film clips from the SD card to my computer. I then imported those clips into Adobe Premiere Pro and began editing the clips by trimming them down using the razor tool. Once I trimmed down all of my clips, I went on Pixabay to find music and sound effects to use in my film. After I found the music and sound effects I wanted to use, I downloaded them and imported them into Adobe Premiere Pro. Once I imported the audio clips into Adobe Premiere Pro, I added the audio clips into the timeline and trimmed them according to the video clip using the razor tool once again. I then added transitions between the video and audio clips using the preset effects located in the effects tab. After I added all the music, sound effects, and transitions to my film, I exported the film by clicking the export tab and clicking the export button.​

The easiest part of the process of making the silent film was creating the movie poster because we had a lot of experience in using Adobe Photoshop and knew how to use all of the tools. The most difficult part of the project was editing the film on Adobe Premiere Pro because I had never used Adobe Premiere Pro before. I overcame this challenge by playing around with and practicing using Adobe Premiere Pro by trying out all the features.
The experience of working in a group was very exciting and somewhat difficult as everything had to be coordinated well; otherwise, it would be very unorganized and chaotic. Everyone carried their own weight and contributed equally since everyone did their parts and did it well.
Based on the learning target, I think our project demonstrates meeting the learning target since we completed all parts of the project, but the silent film could have been filmed and edited better.
