PROCESS STAGE:

From devising two sets of storyboards on how face-to-face and virtual interviews could look, I then felt it was crucial to practice my editing skills. Many of my interviews lasted a considerable time length which meant it was difficult to send them over for my colleague to adjust. To mend this altercation, I operated the Capcut platform to edit questions, pauses, and mistakes out. This saved Milly significant time as the videos were ready to be imported into Premiere Pro and adapted to her liking and optimisation.

In conversation with the CEO, she mentioned that I might have to support the Multimedia Executive with further videography editing. Honestly, Premiere Pro is not my forte! It is an area which I feel the least confident in and would happily avoid by all means. However, I reminded myself that this journey was of continuous challenge and there is no harm in trying! I, thus, decided to take one of our prior interviews and self-teach myself from afresh.

In my opinion, this was one of my biggest hurdles within this module so far and was a platform I subjected as one of my ‘weaknesses’ in my SWOT analysis. However, with plenty of research and numerous YouTube tutorials, I accustomed myself with the basics of utilisation in order to complete a one-minute teaser video!

I believe accommodating myself with Premiere Pro in advance was a smart decision as I had the confidence to perform additional editing if and when I needed to. Despite my colleague, Milly, completing her role wholly, I am thoroughly happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone and took the time to learn a big skill which is appreciated in industry. I can now successfully add this to my expanded skill base!
