Rendering and Editing

From previous experience with rendering animations i decided to render in 1280 x 720 (720p). This is the lower definition of HD. I also went for the compressed version because uncompressed makes a 10 second file over a gigabyte and when trying to edit this and even watch this back on any computer lags out the system and therefore makes it extremely hard to work with.

I firstly selected the HDV option when Premiere Pro asked me to create a new project, from this i then selected HDV 720p30. This type had the following setting applied to it:

General Editing mode: HDV 720p Timebase: 29.97fps Video Settings Frame size: 1280h 720v (1.0000) Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0) Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan) Audio Settings Sample rate: 48000 samples/second Default Sequence Total video tracks: 3 Master track type: Stereo Mono tracks: 0 Stereo tracks: 3 5.1 tracks: 0 Submix mono tracks: 0 Submix stereo tracks: 0 Submix 5.1 tracks: 0

Simple editing techniques were used such as dip to black and dip to white for the transitions between different clips. Also i played back 2 scenes to get Marvin walking backwards and sped the clip up by about 400% i felt this added to the characters personality as this is when he just eats the cheese and staggers over whilst walking backwards.

The image below is of the video edited itself. The audio used is a simple but bouncy and fitting sound piece that can be found on the Internet and was a free download.
