I did done dood it!
This screenshot shows my three sections of footage, all imported into their appropriate bins, along with the still image for the message at the end of the movie.
At this point, I have no title or credits, because I am more concerned with getting exactly 10 seconds of footage. Also, I have yet to add the audio track. For the purposes of this movie, I have unlinked the audio from the video clips. This is simply because there was a baby crying in the background when the sofa shot was filmed. Also, the music will be played along with the track, so there is little point in keeping any of the background noise.
A close look at the timeline will reveal little gaps between the individual scenes. This is intentional, in order to avoid a too sudden jump-cut. I wanted each of the scenes to feel like a seperate instance, and this is the best way I can think of to ensure that the audience feels that.
My next stage is to choose the 10 seconds worth of music from the song I chose. In order to do this, I open the song in Adobe Audition, and simply cut out the exact portion that I think best represents the mood I was aiming for. I select a bit which has the phrase "If I can dream" spoken over a slow beat, with a haunting sounding baseline, and export just that part of the track as it's own mp3 file. I can then import that track into Premiere, and store it in the Audio bin. From there, I can simply repeat what I have already done with the video, and drag it down into the timeline.
Finally, I need to export the entire movie at least twice. Once in a high quality format to burn to DVD, and once in a lower quality format that will run directly from a CD. I choose also to export it in Quicktime format, for the purposes of the Tensec site.
Now all that remains is to test the lower quality file, and to see if it does actually play direct from the CD. Whilst I am not worried, I shall test this in the games lab on Monday, but I can now have a nice relaxing weekend.
