Previous to doing this edit I only really knew how to cut and import on Adobe Premier (Which are skills I learnt in week 2-4 of this class). I knew how important editing is when producing a final product and that though filming is important often much of the meaning is created, fixed, formed and altered in editing. So consequently I looked up quite a few Premier Tutorials with the want to know how to: Transition instead of cut (For example fade, swipe), Slow down and/or Speed Up an image (150%, 50%) and importantly do a basic colour grade-which I did by creating an adjustment layer and putting all my colour correction on that, so I can easily toggle it on and off and see how my different choices are effecting my original footage. This (I believe) is better than applying the effects directly onto the footage.
Anyway, this edit (though obviously far from perfect) I used to test out these new found skills. In the two close-ups of me and Mitch I slow down the film creating a deliberately cheesy vibe, I colour grade different parts of the film separately (the end is quite saturated, I did this by bringing out the Orange) and the start is obviously a dullish, black and white.
I also did a couple of fades for the first time which was nice, on top of this I applied (again for the first time) copyright free music which helped create a cheesy, artificially romantic feel.
