CCR Editing

 CCR 1

Editing my first CCR was an easy process. I started by importing my videos into Premiere, then applied Ultra Key to remove the green screen in the background. These were my settings:



Then I searched for "Oscar's stage background" in Google to find a good background for my video.

  What I settled on

After I picked a background, I imported it into Premiere and placed it on my timeline underneath the video of my CCR. 


It was a relatively simple edit, so to spice it up a bit and make it more reminiscent of a real award show, I decided to incorporate cheering sound effects.

I used these two videos


I applied the sound effects at the beginning and end of the video, using the exponential fade effect to blend them into the original audio. 


CCR 2

CCR 2 wasn't as simple as a process. As I mentioned before I didn't have mics and after asking about 10 people with no success I realized what I would have to do. Voiceover. I know I know, it's not ideal, nor professional, but I had no other option. Thankfully only the intro and outro needed VO to match up with the talking in the video. I used voice memos and recited the lines while watching the video clips to attempt to match the audio as closely as possible. It took a VERY long time, but I finally got as close as I could possibly get. 



Thankfully, after figuring out the audio the rest of the editing process went smoother. I used Canva to make my graphics and bulletproof bear to find background music.

After working separately on all the pieces of the CCR, I imported everything into Premiere. Here is what my timeline looked like:


Lastly, since I filmed during sunset the light varied from shot to shot, meaning I had to color grade them to keep a consistent look. 

The before and after of a shot

Overall, the editing went okay, CCR 1 definitely was a little easier. Stay tuned for the final products! See you next time.
