Class Project 08 - Your Place

My project focuses on promoting Melbourne, Australia. I sourced the footage from Adobe Stock Videos and used music from a previous class project file. I also downloaded both MOGRTs from Mixkit, which was a straightforward process and made them easy to use in Premiere Pro. For the editing, I tried to align the footage transitions with the beat of the music to create a more cohesive flow. I also experimented with the saturation on a couple of clips to emphasise the beat of the music and make those moments stand out more. The footage I downloaded was already quite high quality, so I did not need to make many colour corrections. However, I made some minor adjustments to help keep the colour and overall look of the footage consistent throughout the project.

This was my favourite project amongst any of the courses I've completed through BYOL. I got to show off my beloved home of Yorkshire, which I feel has a lot to say for itself. 'Reyt' translates to "very", and is commonly said particularly across the South Yorkshire region to create emphasis. I created this video using a new 16:9 sequence. I downloaded .mogrt files and music from Envato, and managed to pick out a really good amount of clips from Pexels that contain views of Yorkshire, and things that I associate with Yorkshire such as hobbies, past times and so on. I used the source monitor to create in and out points on my clips (which were all put in bins ahead of time) which I then dragged onto the timeline. Each 'category' within my video has two clips that have the same runtime of 00:02:08, followed by a third at 00:02:00. The difference is barely noticeable, but it allowed me to get better timing for in and out points for the motion graphic overlay. For the motion graphic overlay, I used the properties panel to amend the type, scale, position, font and weight of the text, and created consistency throughout the video for the remaining motion graphics. Once all of my clips were in place, I created an adjustment layer so that I could apply auto-colouring in the Lumetri Colour panel. I opted not to use any LUTs in the end. The footage I found wasn't raw, so it felt counterproductive to edit the colours further as the footage already looked rather clean and finished. I did play with vibrancy on quite a few of the clips, but nothing extreme. I added my audio after (also from Envato) and lowered this to -18dB. I added constant gain to the start and finish of it, just to get the fade in/fade out that is accompanied by a dip to black video transition either end of the sequence. I felt that starting and finishing the sequence with the same text, 'This Is Yorkshire' felt really effective. I intend on completing this course, doing the advanced course and coming back to this video so I can do even more with it.

Im from Maryland, close to Washington, D.C. and Virginia. I used color grading on all the footage used for the video. All footage used was acquired from Adobe stock. I also added two motion graphics, one at the beginning and near the end to close out the video. Both videos were formatted to directions, and I included an audio track as well.

Hi, my project is promoting the Victorian state in Australia. Adobe Stock was not short of footage, too many to choose from, haha. I picked a few to display the city skyline of its capital city and some of its nature. It is 40seconds in length. The sequence has an adjustment layer over all the footages for the colour grading that way its consistent throughout. It starts with saturation all the way down and exposure slightly down for the slogan text to be legible then it transitions to full colour and normal exposure once the text fades away. Same thing with the text at the end calling out the state and country. I used the "Flex Type Pro" from Adobe stock MOGRTs for the titles. Music is from previous BYOL projects folder, it is slightly lowered in volume and it fades out for the end. Simple video but hopefully effective :) thanks!

16:9 Facebook Feed Video One of the biggest struggles here was to find the footage. The place I live in is small and I could not really find any free footage on Pixabay and such platforms. So, instead of showcasing the city and the food, I resorted to showing the green side of Goa. I had also had major issue in getting the animated text to work as most imports from local and Adobe free version would fail and just show a black icon. Lots of time was spent on trouble shooting, with not much success. I would have choosen some different text and animated text if this had worked effortlessly. The enjoyable part was trying out the keyframes. Due to the mismatching proportions of the clips, I managed to create a camera movement effect with keyframes, which came out pretty nice. I hope you like the video about the hinterlands, naturetrips and wildlife of Goa.

Well, I actually did a video on my place so it took some time digging for content to edit. There was one point where a vid I had as part of the sequence kept doing that pixelated thing...I was trying to figure it out I ended up leaving that part out. Any pointers of why that was happening will be nice, was trying to remember if there was a way to fix it. Let me know how it plays on your end, if you got any pixels or glitches. There were times it played well and then at times slight glitches. Had to do some rendering at times. Hopefully it turned out ok.

CLASS PROJECT 8 - YOUR PLACE (100% PURE PORTUGAL INSTAGRAM): I decided to show the amazing beaches from my place, which is Portugal, to me that is the most attraction of this country. First I search for footage of beaches and found some on Pexels. I downloaded a couple of them. Then I also searched for Mogrts and got the one I used from Adobe Stock. The mogrt was under Fashion category but it worked well for these reels. Most of the music I use is from Bensound. So then I put. it all together as you see. I hope you like it.

Hello everyone, For this project I used footage from Envato and music and sounds from Epidemic sounds. I also used a mogrt for the glitch transition. Font used: Tenon Light. Hope you like it!

I found a beautifully filmed video of Stockholm on Pexels by a man named Mylo Kaye, which I'm using in this project. The audio comes from studio.youtube.com audio library, the song is called Tropic Fuse by French Fuse. I had difficulties with applying the Essential Graphic template I chose, it didn't show up on Monitor for some reason. After a few restarts of Premier Pro it worked again. Otherwise I had a blast doing this project!

For the Facebook version, I started by gathering footage. I found some great clips on Vecteezy and tried to keep a consistent aesthetic throughout the video. I would usually find one clip I liked, then look through that creator’s gallery for similar footage, or search for clips from other creators with a similar style and feel. Once I had collected all the footage, I organised everything into separate folders for video assets and audio, and then created the Facebook version. The main challenge with the graphic templates was the animation applied to the text at the end. I liked the laminated text effect, but the template also included a drawing animation that didn’t suit the overall style of the video. To remove it, I went into the Effect Controls panel, searched for the relevant effect, and deleted the drawing animation while keeping the text effect I wanted.

This is the Facebook version of my project. I figured I'd base my project on California since one of my favorite bands, TWRP, has a song about California and it just made sense to set my video to that song. It was a bit long, so I ended up cutting a bit of the song so it wasn't too long. I color corrected, color graded, zoomed in and had motion for the videos in the Instagram version. I set the cuts to match beats in the song which I thought would be pretty cool. I ended up using two of the motion templates from earlier in the course, Amazing Title Zooms and Clean Quote - 07.
