In this blog post, I edited the class video of the bottle flip. This gave us the opportunity to play around with different effects and animations within Premiere to recreate the video and still get the point across. The effects I added to the video included zooming in and out of specific spots, slow motion, and also the addition of pictures and emojis into the video. While the idea of the video has not changed, these effects add a more dramatic and suspenseful emotion. Even though there is no audio used in this, all of the actions in the clip are easy to follow through the music and other effects implemented. Including these effects such as the addition of the emojis was not too difficult as they were just imported and placed in. The scaling was then adjusted through the effects panel which gave us the ability to change the size and placement of the emoji. This also worked for some of the student's faces as we zoomed in at specific parts of the clip. As for the fire at the end, this was just a picture imported in as well. The black background of the fire was taken out due to the effects panel as well. This exposed us to using the Keying effect in the video effects tab, which gave us the ability to eliminate the black background. All in all, I enjoyed creating this version of the Bottle Flip Clip as it gave us the opportunity to play around with different effects in Premiere and have fun with making the edits in the video.
