Final Premiere draft

The final draft of my Premiere project has come a long way from where it began. The video itself was created to focus on showing viewers how to do an oil change on a KLR 250 motorcycle. I really wanted a professional-looking tutorial that would be easy to understand and follow. I shot the film I needed for the project before I did my draft project. When I went to do my draft, I realized some key shots were missing from the storyboard and thus I had not collected enough. I put my draft together with out them and promised to get more shots for the final draft, which I didn’t end up doing because of a lack of time, so I had to go with what I had.

The first draft also lack a few other essential items, such as music, an intro, and credits. The music was retrieved from a free-to-use website that is credited in the end credits of the video. In addition to the music, I added an intro to the beginning, which I played with until it reached a point where I thought it looked pretty good. This included adding a bold font to the text. When it came to figuring out a color to make the title, I struggled. I ended up settling with white text with black stroke so it would stand out from the rest of the background. I added all of these along with transitions between shots and text which read which step was which. The idea to add text for the steps came from the peer draft review. The final draft ended up being just a beefed-up version of the first draft.

Overall, I think the video came together nicely and looks pretty good considering what I had to work with.
