My role as deputy video editor saw me film and edit short news videos to accompany articles published in The College View, DCU's student newspaper. This involved:- discussing the projects with the editors and writers of the articles themselves - transferring film/video footage to the computer and examining the footage and deciding which shots to keep and which to cut- cutting and joining shots using Adobe Premiere Pro while keeping a clear idea of the storyline - develop titles and motion graphics using software programs, such as Adobe Photoshop and After Effects.Due to the College View's audience being primarily college students with a large presence on social media, many of my videos were therefore adapted for social media platforms, for example being short in length and the use of subtitles. This role demonstrates my competency as a videographer.A selection of my work can be seen below.
